Proud Maid Chunmei
chapter 16
chapter 16
On this day, Yueniang sent Da'an to ask Mrs. Wang to come and fetch the golden lotus and sell it.
That Wang Po, since her son Wang Chao'er came to Huai with the guests and stole 100 taels of silver from the car to come home, she got rich and stopped selling tea. She bought two donkeys, installed a pan mill, and opened a cabinet. Get up the mill.Hearing that Ximen Qing's house called her, he hurriedly dressed and left. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, he must have money to earn.
Along the way, Wang Po and Dai'an started talking.
"My brother, how long has it been since I saw you, and I've been caged for a long time, have you ever had a daughter-in-law?"
"Not yet."
"Do you want a wife?"
"Think. Who wouldn't want to."
"Yes. When there is a suitable one, I will help you talk about a wife."
"Thank you so much."
"Your father is gone, who will invite me in your family? What to do?"
Dayan said nothing.
"Could it be that your fifth mother raised a son and asked me to hug her waist?"
"My fifth mother did not raise a son, but a son-in-law."
"Raise a son-in-law?" Wang Po's eyes widened, "What kind of son-in-law do you raise?"
"My aunt asks your old man to take her out to get married."
"My God, my God, look! I said that this whore, after your father's death, was guarding her. She just pretended to be a dog and couldn't get rid of eating shit, so she made a fuss. Is it your eldest sister's son-in-law? What's his last name?"
"His surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Jiji."
"Thinking about last year, why did I bother your father about the old nine. When I arrived in the house, your father was not there. The thief whore, he didn't leave me to sit in the room, and the needle couldn't come out, just called me The girl poured a cup of green tea, I ate it, and came out. I only said that I lived in his house for a thousand years, so how could I still come out today! What a prodigal whore, don’t say that I am your matchmaker, and I did it for you Good people, even if the world goes in, they shouldn't be so careless." Wang Po scolded, scolded, angry, and sighed.
Dai'an said: "Because of her and my brother-in-law fighting at home, I almost killed my aunt yesterday. My brother-in-law has already been sent out, and she is the only old man. Now I will teach you to take her there. "
Mrs. Wang said: "She came here in a sedan chair, and she had to be called a sedan chair. She also came with a box and cage. It is necessary to have a box with her here."
"This is indispensable, my aunt has a place." Dai'an said.
The two people were talking, and they arrived at the head of Ximen Qingmen.Entering Yueniang's room, Wang Po said Wanfu, sat down, and the maid took tea and ate.
Yueniang said: "Old Wang, I invite you here for anything." So she told about Pan Jinlian. "Today it's right and wrong, let's go to right and wrong. One guest doesn't bother two masters, and you are encouraged to take her out, or marry her, or send her away, and teach her to eat freely. My man is gone, so I can't recruit her." These people come. I can’t say that the dead ghost lost a lot of money for her at the beginning, just beat her like a silver man. Now you can marry as you like, and you can pay for it. I will read a scripture for his father, too. A trick."
Wang Po said: "Your old man is rare for this money. You just need to get rid of the disaster. I know, and I don't want to send it away." Looking at Yueniang, seeing that Yueniang didn't change her mind, she said, "Today On a good day, just go out. Another thing, she had a box and a sedan chair back then, so she had to sit on the sedan chair with her."
Yue Niang said: "The box is with her, and she is not allowed to sit in the sedan chair."
Xiaoyu said from the side: "My grandma said that in a fit of anger. When you come to Linqi, you must hire a sedan chair. Otherwise, the neighbors will watch, and those who show their faces will not beg for jokes."
Yueniang stopped talking, and while making the maid embroider spring, she called Jinlian.
As soon as Jin Lian saw Wang Po in the room, she opened her eyes, said her blessings, and sat down.
Mrs. Wang spoke first and said, "You're packing up soon. My aunt said just now, teach me to take you out today!"
Jin Lian refused: "How long has my man been dead, why did I do something wrong, what evil did I do, how can I be sent out out of nowhere?"
Wang Po said: "Stop coaxing and being dumb and pretending to be deaf! Since ancient times, snakes know when they drill holes, and everyone knows what they do. Jinlian, you don't act adulterously in a daze, with two white faces, talking long and short. In my hands, you can’t let you speak sweet words and help you idle away! Since ancient times, there has never been a feast that never ends, and the rafters rot first. The name of a person, the shadow of a tree. Flies don’t drill eggs without cracks. Don’t you Raising a man for food, I will send you to Yangguan now!"
Jin Lian contended: "Don't hit people in the face, and curse people! As the saying goes, when a rooster dies, a rooster crows. Whoever plays the gong eats. Whoever always wears iron hoops, and whoever is the commander-in-chief keeps his eyes on Xi Mier. There is still a meeting place for people, and the leaves fall to the root. Don't drive people out with bare hands, don't listen to villains! It's because women don't wear wedding clothes, and men don't eat time-sharing food, so they have their own prisons. It's cold."
After a while of chaos, Yue Niang went to the Golden Lotus Room and packed her two suitcases, a drawer table, four sets of clothes, a few hairpins, combs and hairpin rings, and a quilt.The rest of her shoes are stuffed in the box.Then she called Qiu Ju, and locked the door of Jinlian's room with a lock.
Jinlian had to put on her clothes, bid farewell to Yueniang, cried a lot in front of Ximen Qingling, then went to Mengyu's building, held hands, and shed tears once, which was also a scene of sisters getting along.
Yulou quietly gave Jinlian a pair of golden bowls and hairpins, a set of emerald blue satin jacket and red skirt, and said: "Sixth sister, the slave will be far away from you. You see a good family and move forward. Since ancient times: Even if you have a long canopy thousands of miles away, there is no banquet that never ends. If you have a family, let someone come and say to the slave, where does the slave go, and visit you by the way, it is also a sister's affection." So she shed tears and said goodbye.
Before going out, Xiaoyu gave Jinlian a gift, and quietly gave Jinlian two gold-headed hairpins.
Jin Lian said: "My sister, you have a little heart for me."
The sedan chair is already waiting at the gate.Wang Po hired someone to carry the box and table first.Only Yulou and Xiaoyu send Jinlian to the door, and then return in a sedan chair.
When Jinlian arrived at Wang Po's house, Wang Po put her in the inner room and slept with her at night.His son Wang Chao'er has also grown into a big man with his head caged. He has no wife yet and sleeps on a bed outside.
The next day, Jin Lian was still dressed up, looking at people under the curtain, sitting on the kang with nothing to do, either painting eyebrows or eyes, or playing the pipa.When Wang Po is not at home, she fights against Wang Chao'er and plays chess with Wang Chao'er.The queen lady went to sweep the face and feed the donkeys, leaving them alone.After a few days, Jinlian scratched Wang Chao'er.At night, when Mrs. Wang fell asleep, Jin Lian pushed down the kang to urinate, walked out on the bed outside, and had sex with Wang Chao'er, shaking the bed so loudly.
Mrs. Wang woke up and heard it, and asked where it sounded.
Wang Chao'er said, "It's the rats caught by the cat under the cabinet."
Mrs. Wang murmured: "Just because there are these bran noodles in the house, this heart-wrenching middle of the night is so exhausting that people can't sleep."
After a long time, I heard movement again, shaking the bed so that the bed creaked, and Wang Po woke up again and asked where it was.
Wang Chao'er said: "It's the cat biting the mouse. It chewed loudly under the kang hole."
The mother-in-law listened carefully, and she heard the cat wolfing and tigering in the kang cave, so she fell asleep again without saying a word.
After finishing her work, Jin Lian still quietly went back to the kang to sleep.
Chen Jingji inquired and learned that Jinlian had come out and was married at Wang Po's house, so he came to Wang Po's house with two hanging copper coins.
Wang Po was sweeping donkey manure in front of the door.
Go ahead and sing a deep song.
The mother-in-law asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Ji Ji said: "Please use the inside to speak."
Wang Po then let in.
Ji Ji raised his eye veil and said, "Please tell me that there is a lady named Sixth Sister Pan in the mansion of the high official Ximen, is she getting married here?"
"Who are you?" Wang Po looked up and down at the young man in front of her.
Ji Ji smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, old man, I am her brother and she is my sister."
This lie is twisted!Wang Po heard this, looked at him again, and said: "You are her brother? Why don't I know? You want to coax me? You are not her brother, you have praised you! Are you her son-in-law named Chen?" , come here to bump into midges! My old lady, I can't let it go!"
The economic smile remained unchanged, and he hurriedly untied two slings of copper coins from his waist, put them in front of him, and said, "These two slings of money are right for Grandma Wang's tea fee, let me see her, and I will thank you again someday. "
When Wang Po saw Qian, she became more and more aggressive: "Don't say thank you! Her eldest lady has ordered that no one should come to see her. Let's put down and talk. Since you want to see this daughter, you can't talk to her." I have five taels of silver; if we meet each other, ten taels. If you marry her, you will give me 100 taels of silver, and ten taels of money from the matchmaker. I don’t care about idle accounts. Now you have two strings of money, what do you do with enough money? "
Jiji pulled out a pair of gold-headed and silver-footed hairpins from his head, weighed five qian, killed chickens and pulled his legs, knelt on the ground, and said, "Grandma Wang, take it away, and let me make up another tael of silver. I dare not It's bad. Let me see her and say something!"
Wang Po took the hairpin and money: "Go in, and come out after you have spoken. You are not allowed to open your eyes and just sit. The one tael of silver will be sent to me tomorrow."
Jin Lian was sitting on the edge of the kang to take out her shoes. When she saw the economy coming in, she put down her shoe fan. She would be in the same place and complained: "You good man! I can't go to the village in front of me, and I can't go to the shop in the back. I have upper ends and no lower ends. I'm making a fool of myself." It's disgusting. You just disappear, don't come to see me. My girls are good, tear you apart, because who is it for?" He said, holding on to the economy, just crying.
Wang Po was crying beside her, lest someone might hear her.
Ji Ji said: "My sister, I cut skin and flesh for you, and you are angry and ashamed for me, why don't you come to see you? I went to Sister-in-law Xue's house yesterday, and I knew that Chunmei had been sold in the garrison mansion, and I asked where you were. Leaving his house and marrying at Grandma Wang's side. Today I came to see you and discuss with you. The two of us are inseparable and cannot be separated. What can I do? I am going to divorce her daughter now, ask She wants the gold and silver box that my family had previously deposited. If she doesn’t come with me, I’ll go to the Longevity Gate in Tokyo and enter it with a copy. At that time, it’s too late for her to give it to me. You go home, the two of us will be reunited forever, and become a husband and wife, why not!"
Jin Lian said: "Now Ganniang Wang wants 100 taels of silver, do you have this silver for her?"
Economically said: "How do you want so many?"
Wang Po said: "Your eldest mother-in-law said that your father spent more money for her than a silver man. It must be 100 taels of silver, and nothing less will make it."
Ji Ji said: "To tell you the truth, old man, I have a heated fight with Sixth Sister, and we can't break it up. Look at you, old man, give back half of it. It doesn't matter five or sixty taels of silver. I will pawn two or three to Uncle Zhang. A house. Married to Sixth Sister’s house, it’s also a spring breeze. You old man, earn less!”
Wang Po said: "Don't say 50 taels of silver, and 80 taels are not in your hands. He Guanren, who sells silk and silk in Huzhou, sold 70 taels yesterday; Zhang Erguan, a big street shop, is now being sentenced in the criminal court. It's over." The position of your dead father Ximen, you have to use two festivals, and you have to pay 80 taels, and take two pieces of silver to exchange. If you can’t get it, I will send you back. You kid, you are empty talk Talking empty words, but still dare to taunt my old lady, my old lady is hurt by her dishonesty!" Then, he walked out of the room, came to the street, and yelled loudly: "Who's son-in-law wants to marry his mother-in-law, and he comes to fart in my mother's room !"
The economy panicked, so she quickly dragged in Mrs. Wang, knelt down on her knees, and said: "Grandma Wang is silent, I agree with grandma, just 100 taels of silver. But my father is still in Tokyo. I will get up early tomorrow morning and go to Tokyo to get the money." Silver go."
Jin Lian said: "Since you did it for me, stop arguing with the godmother and take it away. I'm afraid it will be too late, and someone else will marry a slave and go away, so he won't belong to you anymore."
Ji Ji said: "I hired a toukou, and I traveled all night, as long as half a month, and as long as ten days, and then I came."
Wang Po said: "As the saying goes, the rice is served first, and the meal is eaten first. My ten taels of silver is out of the matchmaker's money, so don't lose mine. It makes sense."
Economic farewell.Early the next morning, he hired a toukou and called a companion of Zhang Tuanlian to follow him, and went up the road to Tokyo.
Sure enough, Chunmei was sold to the garrison's mansion. Zhou Shoubei was overjoyed to see that she was beautiful and smart, with a charming demeanor, and he lived with her in three rooms, under the command of a maid.She rested in her room for three nights.In three days, he cut two sets of clothes for her, bought a maid to serve her, and made her the third room.The eldest lady is blind in one eye, eats a long fast and prays to Buddha, and doesn't mind her own business.There is also Sun Erniang, who gave birth to a sister and son, who lives in the East Wing.Chunmei is in the west wing, and she is taught to handle the keys everywhere, and she is very doted on.
One day, I heard from Mrs. Xue that Jin Lian came out to be married at the Wang Po's house.Chunmei felt sad, and she cried and said to the guard in the evening: "My mother and I have been together for the past few years, but she never caressed me and treated me like her own daughter. I just thought we were separated. I don't think she will come out today. If you are willing to marry her, my girls will still live a good life together." He also said that Jin Lian looks good: "Every family can sing and play the pipa. Smart Handsome, full of cleverness. She belongs to the dragon and is only 32 years old. If she comes, I would rather be the fourth one."
The defense was moved by Chunmei's words, not because of Jinlian, but because of Chunmei's happiness, so that his subordinates followed Zhang Sheng and Li An, sealed two handkerchiefs and two coins, and went to see Wang Po's house. Sure enough, she was born a wonderful woman.Wang Po asked for 100 taels of silver by referring to her eldest lady.Zhang Sheng and Li An talked for half a day, and repaid 80 taels.How could Wang Po be willing!The two came back to the mansion to defend, adding another five taels.The two took the silver and went to talk to Wang Po.Wang Po didn't let go, and said, "It's all right for the matchmaker to ask for money, but I'm a matchmaker for nothing."
Zhang Sheng and Li An had to take back the silver to report to the defense, but lost it for two days.At night, Chunmei cried again and said to the guard: "Anyway, add a few taels of silver, marry and be a slave, and die willingly."
The guard saw that Chunmei was just crying, so he had to send the big housekeeper Zhou Zhong, together with Zhang Sheng and Li An, to take the silver to find Wang Po, and this time it was added to 90 taels.
Wang Po became more and more aggressive, and said: "If it is 90 taels, it will not be possible now, and Zhang Er's father's house will be able to carry it long ago."
Zhou Zhong was annoyed this time, and ordered Li An to wrap up the money, and said: "There is nowhere to find the three-legged toad, but there is nowhere to find the two-legged wife! This old whore doesn't even know anyone. You say that the two-legged toad What's wrong with the government, the master in my house doesn't care about you? If it wasn't for the newly married young lady who repeatedly said in front of the master that if she wanted to marry this woman, she would spend all this money for nothing, what use would she be for!"
Li Andao: "Let me run back and forth two or three times, the thief is an old whore, and she is getting more and more like a parrot!" He pulled Zhou Zhong and said, "Brother Steward, let's go, when we get home, master, okay, teach the jailer Take it, and have a good meal with her."
Wang Po let him scold, but she didn't speak. What she was greedy for was Chen Jingji's stuttering of 110 taels of silver.
When the three of them went to the mansion, they reported back to the guard and said, "It has been added to 90 taels, but I still refuse."
The guard said: "Tomorrow I will pay her 100 taels, take a sedan chair and carry it here."
Zhou Zhongdao: "My lord just added 100 taels, and Mrs. Wang still needs the matchmaker's money. If she loses her for two days, she will be afraid if she takes it to the mansion and has a fight with her."
Sure enough, two days were lost.
This is why Pan Jinlian deserves to die, and Wuhan University's revenge should be avenged.Otherwise, Zhou Shoubei loved Chunmei so much, why would he lose and lose it for 30 taels of silver?Otherwise, Zhou Shoubei has agreed to pay 100 taels of silver, but Zhou Zhong will lose it for two days, suppressing the momentum of the Wang Po?During the two days that Zhou Zhong was lost, Wu Song returned to Qinghe when he was amnesty, and in the name of marrying his sister-in-law, he used one hundred and five taels of silver to deceive Wang Po, sent Jinlian to the Wu family, and forced the two to confess their secrets. The truth about Ximen Qing and poisoning Wuhan University.First killed Pan Jinlian, opened her chest, pulled out her heart, liver and five internal organs, offered them to Wu Daling, and cut off her head.Then he killed Wang Po, cut off her head, sacrificed to the spirit of his brother, and avenged Wu Da.Then I went to Wang Po's house, recovered most of my silver, and went to Liangshan.
On the third day, that is, the second day after Wu Song killed Jinlian and fled to Liangshan, Zhang Sheng and Li An came to Wang Po's house with 100 taels of silver. , the head was in a different place, the five internal organs were dripping, and the blood was flowing all over the ground. The county sent people to conduct an autopsy, arrest the murderer, and hurried back to the house to report.When Chunmei heard this, she passed out on the ground.After finally being rescued, she cried again and again.The guard tried every means to comfort her, but Chunmei just refused to listen, did not comb her hair, did not wash her face, did not eat tea or food, and cried for three days and three nights.
Chen Jingji traveled day and night to Tokyo to fetch money. Halfway there, he ran into his family member Chen Ding coming from Tokyo and told his grandfather that he was seriously ill.Chen Jingji made two trips to catch another trip, entered Tokyo, and came to the house of his uncle Zhang Shilian.Zhang Shilian is dead, only the girl is now.Father Chen Hong has been dead for about three days, and the whole family is wearing mourning.For the economy, see his father's spiritual seat, and kowtow to his mother Zhang and the girl.Mother and son cry together.
Seeing that her son has grown up, Mrs. Zhang said, "Now one is happy and the other is worried."
The economy then asked: "What is happiness and what is worry?"
Mrs. Zhang said: "For those who are happy, now I am happy that the imperial court will set up the East Palace, and the suburbs will be amnesty; if you are worried, you don't want your father to get sick and die here, your uncle is gone, and the girl is a widow. It is not normal to live here, so let Chen Ding I will call you here, and I will send your father's coffin back with you, and it will be good to bury the village well."
After listening to the economics, he secretly said in his heart: "This time, the coffin will be sent, the coffin will be loaded, and the family will get on the car heavily. At least there will be a lot of delays, but it will not be late to marry the sixth sister. It's better to buy two cars of soft boxes and cages to go home first. After marrying the sixth sister, it won’t be too late to move the coffin.” The idea was made, and he said to his mother: “It’s very difficult for thieves to get out now. If the coffin’s small box and cage get up together, it’s not easy to see. What if you meet a young man? I'd rather delay than delay. I'll take two cars of soft boxes and cages to go home first, and clean up the house; then my mother, Chen Ding, his family, and father's coffin will celebrate the new year. It is not too late to do fasting and recite scriptures, and to be buried in the grave."
After all, Mrs. Zhang is a woman's family, and she listened to her son's clever words.
Chen Jingji arranged a thin soft cage, loaded two large carts, put flags on them, and pretended to be a fragrant cart.Day and night, less than a few days, arrived in Qinghe County.When he got home, he said to his uncle Zhang Tuanlian: "Father is dead, and my mother will be here soon with the hearse. I have taken two loads of luggage, and I will pack and clean the house first." After Zhang Tuanlian heard this, he ordered his family to move and vacate the house. Come.Seeing his uncle moving, the economy was full of joy, and said, "Let's get away from my enemies! I will marry my sixth sister and come home, and I can enjoy it freely. My father is dead, and my mother loves me again. First divorce that adulteress, and then I will marry you." Paper certificate, sue my mother-in-law to the government, and chase after the things I sent. See if she dares to say no!"
After cleaning up a bit, Chen Jingji put 100 taels of silver in his waist, and another 50 taels of money to thank the matchmaker, and came to the head of Wangpo's gate on Zishi Street.I saw two corpses buried shallowly beside the street in front of the door, with two guns interlaced and a lantern hanging on top of them, and a hand list hung on the door, which read: "This county is a matter of life: the murderer Wu Song killed Pan, Wang My mother-in-law ordered someone to capture the first person to file a lawsuit, and the official rewarded [-] taels of silver." Just looking up, two people came out of a shack next to him, and shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing reading this announcement? "
Chen Jingji ran away in a hurry.Walking to the side of the restaurant under the stone bridge, there was a man wearing a swastika and a blue jacket, followed him to the foot of the bridge, and said, "Brother, you are so bold, why are you here just to see it?"
Ji Ji was taken aback again, and turned around to look back, but it was an acquaintance, Yang Dalang with iron nails.Two voices here.
Yang Dalang said: "My brother has never been seen, where did he come from?"
The economy then told about Dongdong's father's death and going back, and said: "It just so happened that the woman who was killed was my father-in-law's younger brother. I didn't know it before, but I saw the announcement just now, so I knew why."
Yang Dalang told: "This woman's former younger uncle, Wu Song, was an outsider. When he was pardoned, he returned him. He killed the woman for some reason, and even Wang's wife was not spared. There is also a girl in his family. My uncle Yao Erlang The family has been supporting the family for several years. His uncle killed someone yesterday and disappeared without a trace. My uncle took the girl out of the county and married her as a wife and child. Now these two corpses have been so shallow for a long time. Buried, it was only after suffering from the local Baojia guards, not to mention the year, month and day, that the murderer Wu Song was caught." After finishing speaking, please go to the restaurant for a drink.
Seeing that the person he liked was dead, Chen Jingji couldn't stop his pain, so he couldn't eat or drink.After drinking three cups, he bid farewell and went downstairs.In the evening, I bought a Moqian paper and burned it on the side of Zishiqiao, a stone bridge far away from Wangpo's gate, and said to myself, "Sixth Sister Pan, my little brother Chen Jiji will burn Moqian paper for you today. It's because I came a step late and missed your life. You were a man when you were alive, and a god after you died. Bless you early to catch your enemy Wu Song and avenge you. ambition." After speaking, wept and burned the money paper.
When he got home, closed the door, went back to the room, and fell on the bed, Chen Jingji felt that he was in a haze, as if he was sleeping but not sleeping. He saw Jinlian wearing plain clothes and covered in blood, crying to Jiji: "My brother , I died so hard! I really hoped to get along with you, but I was deceived by Wu Song and killed my life when you didn’t come. Now that the underworld is closed, I wander around during the day and return to various places at night. Begging for water. Just now you sent me a banknote. But the enemy has not been found, and my body is buried in the street. You can remember the old feelings and buy a coffin to bury it, so as not to be exposed for a long time."
Ji Ji cried: "My sister, I know I want to bury you, but I'm afraid that my mother-in-law's ruthless whore will know about Ximen Qing's house. She relied on me and took advantage of her opportunity. Sister, you should go to the garrison mansion." Just tell Chunmei and teach her to bury you."
Jin Lian said: "Just now when I arrived at the garrison mansion, the Kobe captain refused to let go. I must slowly plead with them again."
Ji Ji was crying and tried to pull her to talk, but was rushed away by a burst of blood on her body, and broke free, but it was Nan Keyimeng.When I listened to the drum on the pillow, it was three o'clock in the middle of the night, and said: "Strange! I clearly dreamed of Sixth Sister, who told me her heart and taught me the meaning of burial. I don't know when and when Wu Song will be caught. It's so sad!"
The county sent people to visit and capture Wusong. It took about two months, but they could not be captured. It is known that he fled Liangshan as a thief.The local Baojialinyou reported to the officials that all the two bodies were buried, and the family members were ordered to bury them accordingly.The dead body of Wang Po was buried by her son.Only Jinlian's body was left, and no one came to collect it.
Chunmei, who was guarding the mansion, once every two or three days, sent Zhang Sheng and Li An to the county to inquire about arresting the murderer.During the new year, in the first ten days of the first lunar month, one night, Chunmei had a dream, in a trance, dreaming that the golden lotus cloud was fluffy and covered in blood, and she cried: "Sister Pang, my good sister, the slave died so bitterly." Yes! It was so easy to come to see you, but the door god stopped me and shouted at me, and I dared not come in. Now my enemy Wu Song has escaped. Only the slave’s body has been exposed in the street for a long time. There is no one to lead the burial. The slave has no relatives. If you think about the old mother-child relationship, buy a coffin and bury the slave in the same place. When the slave dies, he will shut his mouth and eyes." After speaking, he burst into tears.Chunmei grabbed her and wanted to ask her something else, but when she broke away, she let go and realized that it was Nan Keyimeng.Waking up from the dream crying, I was hesitating in my heart.
The next day, Chunmei called Zhang Sheng and Li An in, and said, "You two go to the county and inquire if there are any corpses of the buried woman."
The two promised to go.Not long after, he came back to report: "The principal culprit has escaped. All the dead bodies were killed. The local guards will not be inconvenient for a long time, and they will order their families to bury them accordingly. The woman's body was buried by her son. There was that woman, but no one came to fetch her, and she was still buried in the middle of the street."
Chunmei said, "Since that's the case, I have something to do to both of you. If you can do it for me, I will reward you both."
The two knelt down and said, "What are you talking about, my little lady! If you are willing to praise the villain one or two in front of the master, you will not be able to bear it. Even if you go through fire and water, how dare you say no?"
Chunmei went into the room, took out ten taels of silver and two bolts of cloth, and entrusted the two of them: "This dead woman is one of my direct sisters, who married into Ximenqing's family, came out today, and was killed. Don't you two tell your master to know; use this money to buy a coffin for me, put her in a coffin, carry her out of the city, and choose a convenient place to bury her."
The two said: "It doesn't matter, the villain will go."
When the two came out, Li An said: "I'm afraid the county won't let you and me get the corpse? I have to take the master's note and go down to the county magistrate."
Zhang Shengdao: "Just say that the little lady is her sister, married in the mansion, the county magistrate is not good enough to refuse, why cancel the post."
The two took the silver and came to the class room. Zhang Sheng said to Li An: "I think the dead woman and the young lady once worked together at Ximen Qing's house, and they got along well. Today, Fang is so troublesome for her." When she died, the little madam cried for three or four days and didn't eat. The master tried every means to comfort her, but it was useless. He also asked her to watch it with her in front of the door, but she didn't like it. If we help her She does this well, sooner or later she will be convenient for you and me in front of the master, and she is a bit of a lucky star. Now the master is obedient to everything, listens to her, and is a serious grandma and second mistress and stays behind."
Zhang Sheng and Li An came to the county government office and handed over the collar certificate, saying that the dead woman and her sister were in the master's mansion, and they came to collect the body.How dare the county government not obey?The two used six liang of silver to build a coffin, dug up Jinlian's body, stuffed the heart and liver in the belly, sewed the head up with thread, wrapped it in cloth for burial, and put it in the coffin.Zhang Sheng said: "It will be buried in Yongfu Temple in the south of the old man's Xianghuoyuan. There is free space there. After burying it, go back to my little lady." Li An agreed.So I called two companions, carried it to Yongfu Temple, and told the elders that they were relatives of the little lady in the house.The elder didn't dare to neglect, so he picked a hollow poplar tree behind the temple and buried the golden lotus.
After everything was over, the two returned to the mansion to report to Chunmei, and handed over the remaining four taels of silver.
Chunmei said: "It's good to motivate you two. Take two liang of the four taels of silver and tell the elder Dao Jian, and teach him to recite sutras for her sooner or later, so that she can ascend to heaven." He also took out a large bottle of wine and a leg of pork , a leg of mutton, and said: "For these two taels of silver, each of you should take one tael for daily use at home. These wine and meat can be regarded as rewards."
The two knelt down, how dare they pick it up.He just said: "If the little lady is willing to praise the villain in front of the master, she can't stand it. How dare these little labors accept silver taels."
Chunmei said: "I reward you, if you don't accept it, I will be annoyed."
The two had no choice but to kowtow and lead them out. They sat in the class room and ate wine, and they really praised the little lady's benefits.
The next day, Zhang Sheng gave the two taels of silver to the elder to read scriptures.Chunmei gave another five coins to buy paper and golden lotus to burn.
Chen Jingji's mother, Mrs. Zhang, and her family, Chen Ding, carried the coffin from Tokyo to Qinghe County, and parked the coffin in Yongfu Temple, waiting for the scriptures to be distributed and buried in the grave.When the economy learned, he only greeted him at the door of the house and kowtowed to his mother.
Mrs. Zhang blamed him: "Don't go out of the city to pick me up!"
The economy only said: "I am unhappy, and there is no one guarding the house."
Mrs. Zhang asked again: "Why didn't your uncle disappear?"
Ji Ji said: "Seeing that his mother was coming, he moved home quickly."
Mrs. Zhang said, "Let's teach your uncle to live here. Why move away in a hurry?" At this time, Zhang Tuanlian came to see his sister.The two sisters and brothers cried with their heads in their arms, and set up wine to talk.
The next day, Zhang's envoy took five taels of silver and a few mosaics of gold and silver money paper, and went to Yongfu Temple outside the city to recite scriptures for his father with the elders.I was riding on Toukou Street when I bumped into Yang Dalang and Lu Erlang, so I hurriedly stopped to say hello.
The two asked, "Where is brother going?"
Ji Ji said: "My late father's coffin is sent to the temple outside the city. Tomorrow will be the seventh day on the [-]th. My mother asked me to send money to the elders for fasting and chanting."
The two hurriedly said: "Brother, I don't know that the old man's coffin has arrived, so I asked him if he was lost. I don't know when he will be buried?"
"It's only between these two days. After reading the scriptures, I will be buried in the grave." Economics said.Seeing the two people raise their hands to say goodbye, he called Yang Dalang again: "My father-in-law's younger brother in front of the county, why is Pan's body missing? Who took it away?"
Yang Dalang told him: "Ten days ago, because Wu Song could not be caught, the local government reported to the county magistrate, and ordered each family to take him for burial. Wang Po was taken by her son. Only the woman's body was lost for three or four days. The garrison mansion bought a coffin, sent people to carry it out of the city, and buried it behind Yongfu Temple."
After hearing this, Jing knew that it was Chunmei who did it.He asked again, "How many Yongfu Temples are there outside the city?"
Da Lang said: "Just outside the south gate of the city is the incense fire courtyard of Lord Zhou Xiu. How many Yongfu Temples are there?"
After hearing this, Ji Ji secretly rejoiced: "This is Yongfu Temple! It's also a coincidence, and I am so happy that the sixth sister is also buried here."
So they bid farewell to the two of them, headed out of the city, and went to Yongfu Temple. When they saw the elder, they didn't say anything about chanting scriptures for their father. Instead, they first asked the elder Daojian, "Where is the newly buried woman in the garrison mansion?"
The elder said: "It's under the poplar tree behind the temple. It is said to be the sister of the little lady in the house."
Instead of going to see his father's coffin, Chen Jingji took some money paper sacrifices, went to Pan Jinlian's grave, sacrificed to her, burned the money paper, and cried: "My sixth sister, your brother Chen Jingji came to accompany you Burn a mosaic of money paper. You need to settle down for the good, and use the money for the trouble." After the sacrifice, he went to the abbot's father's coffin to burn the paper as a sacrifice.He also handed over the scripture money to the elder, and taught him to invite eight Zen monks to recite the seven sutras tomorrow.
The next day, all the monks recited scriptures.Mrs. Zhang and her son led their family members to the temple to burn incense, choose auspicious occasions, and return the coffin to the ancestral tomb.
One day at the beginning of February, when the weather was mild, Yueniang, Yulou, Xue'e, Sister Ximen, and Xiaoyu stood at the front of the gate, watching the commotion of people passing by.First, a fat monk came to ask for alms.Yueniang used to like to give alms to monks, and she often made up her mind to make a monk's hat and shoes in order to give alms. When she saw the begging monk, she asked Xiaoyu to get a monk's hat, a pair of monk's shoes, a hanging copper coin, and a bucket. White rice, give this monk.
After sending the monk away, she suddenly saw Mrs. Xue coming from the street with a flower box, and Yueniang asked, "Where are you going? Why don't you come to my place?"
Mrs. Xue approached, said Wanfu, and said, "I don't know what I'm busy with all day long. In the past two days, Zhang Er's father, who was in charge of punishment on the street, married his son, married Xu Gonggong in the north, and married his son. My niece is also about my marriage with Sister-in-law Wen. Three days ago, there was a big banquet. I was so busy that I was called by our young lady in the garrison mansion, but I didn’t go. I don’t know why she annoyed me!"
Yue Niang asked: "Where are you going now?"
Mrs. Xue said, "I have something to say, so I'll come and talk to your old man."
"You have something to say." Yueniang asked Mrs. Xue to sit in the upper room at the back and had tea.
Mrs. Xue said: "You don't know, old man? Your in-laws, Chen, died of illness in Tokyo last year. My mother-in-law called my brother-in-law to move the family's coffin. Since I came home in the first lunar month, I have already read scriptures and sent them out, and I have finished burial on the grave. Just say that your old man knows, why don't you burn a piece of paper and visit?"
Yue Niang said: "If you don't tell me, how do I know about it here, and no one inquires about it. I only know that Pan's family killed her uncle and buried them with Mrs. Wang, but I don't know what's going on now. "
Sister-in-law Xue said: "Since ancient times, life has its place and death has its place. Wu Niang, an old man, didn't go out because of those things, but it's not good? She doesn't keep her duty on weekdays, she does ugly things and goes out. If she is in our house, How could her younger uncle kill her? The enemy has the head, the debt has the owner. Thanks to our eldest daughter Chunmei, she couldn't get past the feelings of a woman, so she sent someone to buy a coffin and took her body to bury her. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's still exposed to the streets. If you can't get her brother-in-law, who will take care of her?"
Sun Xue'e said from the side: "How long has Chunmei been sold in the garrison's mansion, is she so old? If he can buy a coffin for her to bury with money in his hand, the garrison is not angry. Who does he think of her?"
Mrs. Xue said: "Yeah, you don't know yet. Be on guard and don't like her! Every day I just sleep in her room and say a few words. Once I marry her, I live with her in the three rooms in the west wing Maid, bought a maid again, several people waited on her, cut four seasons clothes for her, and put it on. I got a silver reward and a piece of satin. Grandma is 50 years old, her eyesight is blind, she eats long fast, and doesn’t care about things. Sun Erniang gave birth to a young lady. Now Chunmei holds the keys to the large and small warehouses. Be on guard and don’t listen to her. Let’s talk about money, how much money can’t be taken out?”
Yueniang and Xue'e were silent.
After sitting for a while, Mrs. Xue got up.Yueniang ordered: "Come tomorrow, I will prepare a sacrificial table, a ruler, and a piece of paper, and you will send the eldest sister to burn the paper with her father-in-law."
"Aren't you going?" Aunt Xue asked.
"You just said that I have a bad heart, so I can visit my in-laws another day." Yue Niang said.
This sister-in-law Xue agreed: "You teach the eldest sister to clean up and wait for me. I will come when the meal is over."
Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Yueniang asked, "Where are you going now? It doesn't matter if you don't go to the garrison mansion."
"Don't go? If I don't go, I'll make her crazy. She has called me several times as a companion." Mrs. Xue said.
"What did she ask you to do?" Yueniang asked.
"Grandma, you don't know. She is now four or five months pregnant. If the master likes it so much, he will reward me if he asks me to go." Sister Xue said, carrying the flower box and resigning.
Xue'e said: "The old whore has no money! When she sold the guard's house for a long time, she had half a child? Then the guard has a few houses around him, so why not just pick her up?" There is a reason!"
Yueniang said: "He also has Grandma Zhengjing, and there is a wife of Miss Sheng in the room."
Xue'e said: "That's not true! After all, it's the matchmaker's mouth, and the water is ten feet wide."
The next day, Wu Yueniang prepared a sacrificial table, three pigs' heads, soup rice paper, etc., sealed a ruler head, and taught the elder sister to pack a suit of plain clothes and sit in a sedan chair.Sister-in-law Xue went ahead with the sacrificial ceremony and came to the gate of Chen's house.
Chen Jingji was standing at the door.
Mrs. Xue carried the sacrificial ritual teacher inside.
The economy asked: "Where is it?"
Sister-in-law Xue said all blessings first, and said, "Brother-in-law, don't push it away. Your mother-in-law's family came to burn paper with your father, and sent the eldest sister here."
Ji Ji said: "Mine is the mother-in-law! On the [-]th of the first lunar month, the door god was posted, 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 a widow has no legs and crabs. I don't know that your in-laws' coffin came home. Don't blame me for being a step late."
Just as he was talking, the eldest sister's sedan chair came and landed at the door.
The economy asked again: "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."
The economy scolded: "Take the prostitute back as soon as possible. If she is dead, what do I want her to do!"
Mrs. Xue said: "As the saying goes: Marrying a husband is the master. Why do you say that?"
Ji Ji said: "I don't want this whore anymore, don't go with me!" Seeing that the sedan chair bearer just stood still, Ji Ji kicked her twice and scolded: "Don't carry it with me, I will Broke Huazi's legs, and pulled out all the mane hair of the adulteress!"
The person who carried the sedan chair hurt so much from his kick, so he had to lift the sedan chair and walk back.When Mrs. Xue called out Mrs. Zhang, the sedan chair had already been carried away.
Aunt Xue had no choice but to ask Mrs. Zhang to accept the sacrificial ceremony and come back to Yueniang.Yueniang was so angry that she said, "You unreasonable, short-lived prisoner! At the beginning, your family hid in the husband's house for official business, and you lived in it for a few years. Today, you rebelled and avenged your revenge. I hate the dead ghost who took it back then. The good guy is at home, and if something happens, he will teach me to be a stinky mouse today, and teach him to fart and shame." Then he said to the elder sister: "Boy, you have seen it with your own eyes. What did the father-in-law and mother-in-law lose to him? You Live is his family, death is his ghost, and it is difficult for my family to keep you. If you go back tomorrow, don’t be afraid of him. I don’t think he will be able to drag you into the well. He is so courageous, he can’t kill people anyway. Don't care about him!"
On the second day, a sedan chair, taught by Dai'an'er, followed, and sent Sister Ximen to Chen's house again.Chen Jingji was not at home, and went to add soil to his father's grave.Mrs. Zhang knew the etiquette, left her eldest sister behind, and said to Dai'an, "When the senior official comes home, go to his relative's house more: thank you for the sacrifice, don't want to be as knowledgeable as him. He was drunk yesterday, so he is like this, wait for me Talk to him slowly." While taking care of Dai'an'er, he went to comfort him.
Chen Jingji came home at dusk, and when he saw the elder sister, he just kicked and beat her, and scolded: "What are you doing here again, whore? You also said that I eat at your house, and your house has many boxes and cages for me, which is why it is so big. He even said that he was supporting his son-in-law in vain! If you are dead, what do I want you, whore, to do!"
The eldest sister also opened her mouth to curse: "Shameless prisoner, unreasonable prisoner! That whore went out to eat people and killed him, so you use me to vent your anger."
Ji Ji was even more annoyed. He pulled the eldest sister's hair and punched her as hard as she could.Mrs. Zhang came to persuade her, and he pushed her mother down.Mrs. Zhang yelled and cried: "You are so stupid, your eyes are red, you don't even recognize me!"
The economy is just squabbling, and at night, a sedan chair brought Miss Ximen back again, and said: "Come home without asking for the dowry box that will be deposited, I will kill you, whore!"
After all, the eldest sister is a woman, and she is afraid, so she hides at home and dare not go again.
In a blink of an eye, the Ching Ming Festival is here.Wu Yueniang prepared incense candles, money papers, sacrifices for three animals, food and drink, etc., and carried two large food boxes, leaving behind Sun Xue'e and the eldest sister, and the maids to look after the house, and brought Meng Yulou and Xiaoyu, Naizi and Yi'er to hold the filial brother , all sat in sedan chairs and went to the new tomb five miles outside the city to worship and sweep the new tomb for Ximen Qing.Uncle Wu and his wife, husband and mother 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 the ladies and tourists keep walking.Throughout the year, there is no spring, and the scenery is the best: the sun is called a beautiful day; The BMW, the sedan chair you sit on is called a fragrant car, the road you travel is called a fragrant path, and the soil that flies underground is called a fragrant dust; thousands of flowers sprout stamens, and ten thousand 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.Hundreds of orioles frightened back to their noon dreams, Ziyan uttered the sorrows of spring several times.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, green poplar smoke is hung high on the swing.The spring scene at the end is really good!When spring comes, there are places to visit on the county roads of Nafu Prefecture and in various villages, towns and cities.There is a poem that says it well:
Where is there no smoke in the Qingming Festival, paper money hangs on the breeze in the suburbs.People laugh, people sing, and the grassland is full of apricot blossoms.On the branch of the crabapple, the voice of the warbler is flowing, and the eyes of the drunken guest are drunk by the willow embankment.The pretty girls in pink compete for the drawing board, and the colorful ropes sway to learn how to fly.
The sedan chairs of Wu Yueniang and the others came to Ximenqing's grave in this beautiful spring day.Dai'an arrived earlier with the food box in hand, lit a fire under the kitchen in the manor house, and the cook left to tidy up.Yueniang and the others sat down to drink tea in the guest seat of the villa, waiting for Mrs. Wu.Dai'an placed three animals on the table, soup and rice sacrifices on the altar on Ximenqing's grave, and listed paper money, just waiting for Wu Dajinzi to arrive.At the time of the appointment, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu hired two donkeys and rode them, saying that they could not hire a sedan chair.Yueniang said, "The eldest concubine can't hire a sedan chair, so how can I ride this donkey." After eating tea and changing clothes, she came to Ximenqing's grave to worship and sweep.
Yueniang held five sticks of incense in her hand, and gave one to Yulou; In the incense burner, I bowed deeply and said: "My brother, you are a human being in life and a god after death. Today, during the Ching Ming Festival in March, your filial wives, the third sister Wu and the third sister Meng, and your one-year-old child brother filial piety Son, 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 your appearance and What you said is so sad!" Then, seeing Dai'an lighting the paper money, she burst into tears:
After burning the paper, the little feet stomped.There is nothing wrong with my words as a husband and wife with you.I really hope that we will grow old together, but who knows that you will abandon your slave halfway.At the beginning, it was me who came to see me favorably, but now I have left Tongdou'er's family relationship, and the child is young.Leaving my son, mother and widow alone, how can I send them away?It just seems to be caught in the rain halfway and caught in the wind!The mandarin ducks were broken up, and the different fruits were broken.He yelled, good-natured brother!Thinking of you moving and hiding, don't sigh and kill me.
The paper ashes were so burned that they turned around, but my son-in-law was not seen.The young husband cried, leaving Jiaoer behind, feeling so lonely.We missed each other, how can we meet you again?
Yulou went up to insert incense, bowed deeply, and cried:
After burning the paper, tears fell.He screamed, and the sky was full of people, but he was so lost that he had no whereabouts.Shi Chengwang will stay with you forever, who knows that the half-way flower will disappear.The eldest sister has children and she is okay in her room, but the tree is so dark that there is no shade, who will she live with?What can I do if I guard the lonely curtain alone?It's just like coming to the village without going to the store!Where is my leaf falling back to its roots, and the harvest of the garden?Shout out, young brother!I want to see you only in a dream, but I don't want to kill me!
Crying and crying until I am demented, you will not waste it once you go.Think about it, there is no bottom, you are young, and you are so delicate.The kind heart is anxious, and the beauty is reduced.
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 eldest concubine burned incense and finished their rituals.All the people let them go to the rolling shed on the farm together, set up tables and mats, set up meals, and clean up and drink.
At this time, the little lady Pang Chunmei from the Garrison Mansion also came out of the city to visit the grave.
(End of this chapter)
On this day, Yueniang sent Da'an to ask Mrs. Wang to come and fetch the golden lotus and sell it.
That Wang Po, since her son Wang Chao'er came to Huai with the guests and stole 100 taels of silver from the car to come home, she got rich and stopped selling tea. She bought two donkeys, installed a pan mill, and opened a cabinet. Get up the mill.Hearing that Ximen Qing's house called her, he hurriedly dressed and left. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, he must have money to earn.
Along the way, Wang Po and Dai'an started talking.
"My brother, how long has it been since I saw you, and I've been caged for a long time, have you ever had a daughter-in-law?"
"Not yet."
"Do you want a wife?"
"Think. Who wouldn't want to."
"Yes. When there is a suitable one, I will help you talk about a wife."
"Thank you so much."
"Your father is gone, who will invite me in your family? What to do?"
Dayan said nothing.
"Could it be that your fifth mother raised a son and asked me to hug her waist?"
"My fifth mother did not raise a son, but a son-in-law."
"Raise a son-in-law?" Wang Po's eyes widened, "What kind of son-in-law do you raise?"
"My aunt asks your old man to take her out to get married."
"My God, my God, look! I said that this whore, after your father's death, was guarding her. She just pretended to be a dog and couldn't get rid of eating shit, so she made a fuss. Is it your eldest sister's son-in-law? What's his last name?"
"His surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Jiji."
"Thinking about last year, why did I bother your father about the old nine. When I arrived in the house, your father was not there. The thief whore, he didn't leave me to sit in the room, and the needle couldn't come out, just called me The girl poured a cup of green tea, I ate it, and came out. I only said that I lived in his house for a thousand years, so how could I still come out today! What a prodigal whore, don’t say that I am your matchmaker, and I did it for you Good people, even if the world goes in, they shouldn't be so careless." Wang Po scolded, scolded, angry, and sighed.
Dai'an said: "Because of her and my brother-in-law fighting at home, I almost killed my aunt yesterday. My brother-in-law has already been sent out, and she is the only old man. Now I will teach you to take her there. "
Mrs. Wang said: "She came here in a sedan chair, and she had to be called a sedan chair. She also came with a box and cage. It is necessary to have a box with her here."
"This is indispensable, my aunt has a place." Dai'an said.
The two people were talking, and they arrived at the head of Ximen Qingmen.Entering Yueniang's room, Wang Po said Wanfu, sat down, and the maid took tea and ate.
Yueniang said: "Old Wang, I invite you here for anything." So she told about Pan Jinlian. "Today it's right and wrong, let's go to right and wrong. One guest doesn't bother two masters, and you are encouraged to take her out, or marry her, or send her away, and teach her to eat freely. My man is gone, so I can't recruit her." These people come. I can’t say that the dead ghost lost a lot of money for her at the beginning, just beat her like a silver man. Now you can marry as you like, and you can pay for it. I will read a scripture for his father, too. A trick."
Wang Po said: "Your old man is rare for this money. You just need to get rid of the disaster. I know, and I don't want to send it away." Looking at Yueniang, seeing that Yueniang didn't change her mind, she said, "Today On a good day, just go out. Another thing, she had a box and a sedan chair back then, so she had to sit on the sedan chair with her."
Yue Niang said: "The box is with her, and she is not allowed to sit in the sedan chair."
Xiaoyu said from the side: "My grandma said that in a fit of anger. When you come to Linqi, you must hire a sedan chair. Otherwise, the neighbors will watch, and those who show their faces will not beg for jokes."
Yueniang stopped talking, and while making the maid embroider spring, she called Jinlian.
As soon as Jin Lian saw Wang Po in the room, she opened her eyes, said her blessings, and sat down.
Mrs. Wang spoke first and said, "You're packing up soon. My aunt said just now, teach me to take you out today!"
Jin Lian refused: "How long has my man been dead, why did I do something wrong, what evil did I do, how can I be sent out out of nowhere?"
Wang Po said: "Stop coaxing and being dumb and pretending to be deaf! Since ancient times, snakes know when they drill holes, and everyone knows what they do. Jinlian, you don't act adulterously in a daze, with two white faces, talking long and short. In my hands, you can’t let you speak sweet words and help you idle away! Since ancient times, there has never been a feast that never ends, and the rafters rot first. The name of a person, the shadow of a tree. Flies don’t drill eggs without cracks. Don’t you Raising a man for food, I will send you to Yangguan now!"
Jin Lian contended: "Don't hit people in the face, and curse people! As the saying goes, when a rooster dies, a rooster crows. Whoever plays the gong eats. Whoever always wears iron hoops, and whoever is the commander-in-chief keeps his eyes on Xi Mier. There is still a meeting place for people, and the leaves fall to the root. Don't drive people out with bare hands, don't listen to villains! It's because women don't wear wedding clothes, and men don't eat time-sharing food, so they have their own prisons. It's cold."
After a while of chaos, Yue Niang went to the Golden Lotus Room and packed her two suitcases, a drawer table, four sets of clothes, a few hairpins, combs and hairpin rings, and a quilt.The rest of her shoes are stuffed in the box.Then she called Qiu Ju, and locked the door of Jinlian's room with a lock.
Jinlian had to put on her clothes, bid farewell to Yueniang, cried a lot in front of Ximen Qingling, then went to Mengyu's building, held hands, and shed tears once, which was also a scene of sisters getting along.
Yulou quietly gave Jinlian a pair of golden bowls and hairpins, a set of emerald blue satin jacket and red skirt, and said: "Sixth sister, the slave will be far away from you. You see a good family and move forward. Since ancient times: Even if you have a long canopy thousands of miles away, there is no banquet that never ends. If you have a family, let someone come and say to the slave, where does the slave go, and visit you by the way, it is also a sister's affection." So she shed tears and said goodbye.
Before going out, Xiaoyu gave Jinlian a gift, and quietly gave Jinlian two gold-headed hairpins.
Jin Lian said: "My sister, you have a little heart for me."
The sedan chair is already waiting at the gate.Wang Po hired someone to carry the box and table first.Only Yulou and Xiaoyu send Jinlian to the door, and then return in a sedan chair.
When Jinlian arrived at Wang Po's house, Wang Po put her in the inner room and slept with her at night.His son Wang Chao'er has also grown into a big man with his head caged. He has no wife yet and sleeps on a bed outside.
The next day, Jin Lian was still dressed up, looking at people under the curtain, sitting on the kang with nothing to do, either painting eyebrows or eyes, or playing the pipa.When Wang Po is not at home, she fights against Wang Chao'er and plays chess with Wang Chao'er.The queen lady went to sweep the face and feed the donkeys, leaving them alone.After a few days, Jinlian scratched Wang Chao'er.At night, when Mrs. Wang fell asleep, Jin Lian pushed down the kang to urinate, walked out on the bed outside, and had sex with Wang Chao'er, shaking the bed so loudly.
Mrs. Wang woke up and heard it, and asked where it sounded.
Wang Chao'er said, "It's the rats caught by the cat under the cabinet."
Mrs. Wang murmured: "Just because there are these bran noodles in the house, this heart-wrenching middle of the night is so exhausting that people can't sleep."
After a long time, I heard movement again, shaking the bed so that the bed creaked, and Wang Po woke up again and asked where it was.
Wang Chao'er said: "It's the cat biting the mouse. It chewed loudly under the kang hole."
The mother-in-law listened carefully, and she heard the cat wolfing and tigering in the kang cave, so she fell asleep again without saying a word.
After finishing her work, Jin Lian still quietly went back to the kang to sleep.
Chen Jingji inquired and learned that Jinlian had come out and was married at Wang Po's house, so he came to Wang Po's house with two hanging copper coins.
Wang Po was sweeping donkey manure in front of the door.
Go ahead and sing a deep song.
The mother-in-law asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Ji Ji said: "Please use the inside to speak."
Wang Po then let in.
Ji Ji raised his eye veil and said, "Please tell me that there is a lady named Sixth Sister Pan in the mansion of the high official Ximen, is she getting married here?"
"Who are you?" Wang Po looked up and down at the young man in front of her.
Ji Ji smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, old man, I am her brother and she is my sister."
This lie is twisted!Wang Po heard this, looked at him again, and said: "You are her brother? Why don't I know? You want to coax me? You are not her brother, you have praised you! Are you her son-in-law named Chen?" , come here to bump into midges! My old lady, I can't let it go!"
The economic smile remained unchanged, and he hurriedly untied two slings of copper coins from his waist, put them in front of him, and said, "These two slings of money are right for Grandma Wang's tea fee, let me see her, and I will thank you again someday. "
When Wang Po saw Qian, she became more and more aggressive: "Don't say thank you! Her eldest lady has ordered that no one should come to see her. Let's put down and talk. Since you want to see this daughter, you can't talk to her." I have five taels of silver; if we meet each other, ten taels. If you marry her, you will give me 100 taels of silver, and ten taels of money from the matchmaker. I don’t care about idle accounts. Now you have two strings of money, what do you do with enough money? "
Jiji pulled out a pair of gold-headed and silver-footed hairpins from his head, weighed five qian, killed chickens and pulled his legs, knelt on the ground, and said, "Grandma Wang, take it away, and let me make up another tael of silver. I dare not It's bad. Let me see her and say something!"
Wang Po took the hairpin and money: "Go in, and come out after you have spoken. You are not allowed to open your eyes and just sit. The one tael of silver will be sent to me tomorrow."
Jin Lian was sitting on the edge of the kang to take out her shoes. When she saw the economy coming in, she put down her shoe fan. She would be in the same place and complained: "You good man! I can't go to the village in front of me, and I can't go to the shop in the back. I have upper ends and no lower ends. I'm making a fool of myself." It's disgusting. You just disappear, don't come to see me. My girls are good, tear you apart, because who is it for?" He said, holding on to the economy, just crying.
Wang Po was crying beside her, lest someone might hear her.
Ji Ji said: "My sister, I cut skin and flesh for you, and you are angry and ashamed for me, why don't you come to see you? I went to Sister-in-law Xue's house yesterday, and I knew that Chunmei had been sold in the garrison mansion, and I asked where you were. Leaving his house and marrying at Grandma Wang's side. Today I came to see you and discuss with you. The two of us are inseparable and cannot be separated. What can I do? I am going to divorce her daughter now, ask She wants the gold and silver box that my family had previously deposited. If she doesn’t come with me, I’ll go to the Longevity Gate in Tokyo and enter it with a copy. At that time, it’s too late for her to give it to me. You go home, the two of us will be reunited forever, and become a husband and wife, why not!"
Jin Lian said: "Now Ganniang Wang wants 100 taels of silver, do you have this silver for her?"
Economically said: "How do you want so many?"
Wang Po said: "Your eldest mother-in-law said that your father spent more money for her than a silver man. It must be 100 taels of silver, and nothing less will make it."
Ji Ji said: "To tell you the truth, old man, I have a heated fight with Sixth Sister, and we can't break it up. Look at you, old man, give back half of it. It doesn't matter five or sixty taels of silver. I will pawn two or three to Uncle Zhang. A house. Married to Sixth Sister’s house, it’s also a spring breeze. You old man, earn less!”
Wang Po said: "Don't say 50 taels of silver, and 80 taels are not in your hands. He Guanren, who sells silk and silk in Huzhou, sold 70 taels yesterday; Zhang Erguan, a big street shop, is now being sentenced in the criminal court. It's over." The position of your dead father Ximen, you have to use two festivals, and you have to pay 80 taels, and take two pieces of silver to exchange. If you can’t get it, I will send you back. You kid, you are empty talk Talking empty words, but still dare to taunt my old lady, my old lady is hurt by her dishonesty!" Then, he walked out of the room, came to the street, and yelled loudly: "Who's son-in-law wants to marry his mother-in-law, and he comes to fart in my mother's room !"
The economy panicked, so she quickly dragged in Mrs. Wang, knelt down on her knees, and said: "Grandma Wang is silent, I agree with grandma, just 100 taels of silver. But my father is still in Tokyo. I will get up early tomorrow morning and go to Tokyo to get the money." Silver go."
Jin Lian said: "Since you did it for me, stop arguing with the godmother and take it away. I'm afraid it will be too late, and someone else will marry a slave and go away, so he won't belong to you anymore."
Ji Ji said: "I hired a toukou, and I traveled all night, as long as half a month, and as long as ten days, and then I came."
Wang Po said: "As the saying goes, the rice is served first, and the meal is eaten first. My ten taels of silver is out of the matchmaker's money, so don't lose mine. It makes sense."
Economic farewell.Early the next morning, he hired a toukou and called a companion of Zhang Tuanlian to follow him, and went up the road to Tokyo.
Sure enough, Chunmei was sold to the garrison's mansion. Zhou Shoubei was overjoyed to see that she was beautiful and smart, with a charming demeanor, and he lived with her in three rooms, under the command of a maid.She rested in her room for three nights.In three days, he cut two sets of clothes for her, bought a maid to serve her, and made her the third room.The eldest lady is blind in one eye, eats a long fast and prays to Buddha, and doesn't mind her own business.There is also Sun Erniang, who gave birth to a sister and son, who lives in the East Wing.Chunmei is in the west wing, and she is taught to handle the keys everywhere, and she is very doted on.
One day, I heard from Mrs. Xue that Jin Lian came out to be married at the Wang Po's house.Chunmei felt sad, and she cried and said to the guard in the evening: "My mother and I have been together for the past few years, but she never caressed me and treated me like her own daughter. I just thought we were separated. I don't think she will come out today. If you are willing to marry her, my girls will still live a good life together." He also said that Jin Lian looks good: "Every family can sing and play the pipa. Smart Handsome, full of cleverness. She belongs to the dragon and is only 32 years old. If she comes, I would rather be the fourth one."
The defense was moved by Chunmei's words, not because of Jinlian, but because of Chunmei's happiness, so that his subordinates followed Zhang Sheng and Li An, sealed two handkerchiefs and two coins, and went to see Wang Po's house. Sure enough, she was born a wonderful woman.Wang Po asked for 100 taels of silver by referring to her eldest lady.Zhang Sheng and Li An talked for half a day, and repaid 80 taels.How could Wang Po be willing!The two came back to the mansion to defend, adding another five taels.The two took the silver and went to talk to Wang Po.Wang Po didn't let go, and said, "It's all right for the matchmaker to ask for money, but I'm a matchmaker for nothing."
Zhang Sheng and Li An had to take back the silver to report to the defense, but lost it for two days.At night, Chunmei cried again and said to the guard: "Anyway, add a few taels of silver, marry and be a slave, and die willingly."
The guard saw that Chunmei was just crying, so he had to send the big housekeeper Zhou Zhong, together with Zhang Sheng and Li An, to take the silver to find Wang Po, and this time it was added to 90 taels.
Wang Po became more and more aggressive, and said: "If it is 90 taels, it will not be possible now, and Zhang Er's father's house will be able to carry it long ago."
Zhou Zhong was annoyed this time, and ordered Li An to wrap up the money, and said: "There is nowhere to find the three-legged toad, but there is nowhere to find the two-legged wife! This old whore doesn't even know anyone. You say that the two-legged toad What's wrong with the government, the master in my house doesn't care about you? If it wasn't for the newly married young lady who repeatedly said in front of the master that if she wanted to marry this woman, she would spend all this money for nothing, what use would she be for!"
Li Andao: "Let me run back and forth two or three times, the thief is an old whore, and she is getting more and more like a parrot!" He pulled Zhou Zhong and said, "Brother Steward, let's go, when we get home, master, okay, teach the jailer Take it, and have a good meal with her."
Wang Po let him scold, but she didn't speak. What she was greedy for was Chen Jingji's stuttering of 110 taels of silver.
When the three of them went to the mansion, they reported back to the guard and said, "It has been added to 90 taels, but I still refuse."
The guard said: "Tomorrow I will pay her 100 taels, take a sedan chair and carry it here."
Zhou Zhongdao: "My lord just added 100 taels, and Mrs. Wang still needs the matchmaker's money. If she loses her for two days, she will be afraid if she takes it to the mansion and has a fight with her."
Sure enough, two days were lost.
This is why Pan Jinlian deserves to die, and Wuhan University's revenge should be avenged.Otherwise, Zhou Shoubei loved Chunmei so much, why would he lose and lose it for 30 taels of silver?Otherwise, Zhou Shoubei has agreed to pay 100 taels of silver, but Zhou Zhong will lose it for two days, suppressing the momentum of the Wang Po?During the two days that Zhou Zhong was lost, Wu Song returned to Qinghe when he was amnesty, and in the name of marrying his sister-in-law, he used one hundred and five taels of silver to deceive Wang Po, sent Jinlian to the Wu family, and forced the two to confess their secrets. The truth about Ximen Qing and poisoning Wuhan University.First killed Pan Jinlian, opened her chest, pulled out her heart, liver and five internal organs, offered them to Wu Daling, and cut off her head.Then he killed Wang Po, cut off her head, sacrificed to the spirit of his brother, and avenged Wu Da.Then I went to Wang Po's house, recovered most of my silver, and went to Liangshan.
On the third day, that is, the second day after Wu Song killed Jinlian and fled to Liangshan, Zhang Sheng and Li An came to Wang Po's house with 100 taels of silver. , the head was in a different place, the five internal organs were dripping, and the blood was flowing all over the ground. The county sent people to conduct an autopsy, arrest the murderer, and hurried back to the house to report.When Chunmei heard this, she passed out on the ground.After finally being rescued, she cried again and again.The guard tried every means to comfort her, but Chunmei just refused to listen, did not comb her hair, did not wash her face, did not eat tea or food, and cried for three days and three nights.
Chen Jingji traveled day and night to Tokyo to fetch money. Halfway there, he ran into his family member Chen Ding coming from Tokyo and told his grandfather that he was seriously ill.Chen Jingji made two trips to catch another trip, entered Tokyo, and came to the house of his uncle Zhang Shilian.Zhang Shilian is dead, only the girl is now.Father Chen Hong has been dead for about three days, and the whole family is wearing mourning.For the economy, see his father's spiritual seat, and kowtow to his mother Zhang and the girl.Mother and son cry together.
Seeing that her son has grown up, Mrs. Zhang said, "Now one is happy and the other is worried."
The economy then asked: "What is happiness and what is worry?"
Mrs. Zhang said: "For those who are happy, now I am happy that the imperial court will set up the East Palace, and the suburbs will be amnesty; if you are worried, you don't want your father to get sick and die here, your uncle is gone, and the girl is a widow. It is not normal to live here, so let Chen Ding I will call you here, and I will send your father's coffin back with you, and it will be good to bury the village well."
After listening to the economics, he secretly said in his heart: "This time, the coffin will be sent, the coffin will be loaded, and the family will get on the car heavily. At least there will be a lot of delays, but it will not be late to marry the sixth sister. It's better to buy two cars of soft boxes and cages to go home first. After marrying the sixth sister, it won’t be too late to move the coffin.” The idea was made, and he said to his mother: “It’s very difficult for thieves to get out now. If the coffin’s small box and cage get up together, it’s not easy to see. What if you meet a young man? I'd rather delay than delay. I'll take two cars of soft boxes and cages to go home first, and clean up the house; then my mother, Chen Ding, his family, and father's coffin will celebrate the new year. It is not too late to do fasting and recite scriptures, and to be buried in the grave."
After all, Mrs. Zhang is a woman's family, and she listened to her son's clever words.
Chen Jingji arranged a thin soft cage, loaded two large carts, put flags on them, and pretended to be a fragrant cart.Day and night, less than a few days, arrived in Qinghe County.When he got home, he said to his uncle Zhang Tuanlian: "Father is dead, and my mother will be here soon with the hearse. I have taken two loads of luggage, and I will pack and clean the house first." After Zhang Tuanlian heard this, he ordered his family to move and vacate the house. Come.Seeing his uncle moving, the economy was full of joy, and said, "Let's get away from my enemies! I will marry my sixth sister and come home, and I can enjoy it freely. My father is dead, and my mother loves me again. First divorce that adulteress, and then I will marry you." Paper certificate, sue my mother-in-law to the government, and chase after the things I sent. See if she dares to say no!"
After cleaning up a bit, Chen Jingji put 100 taels of silver in his waist, and another 50 taels of money to thank the matchmaker, and came to the head of Wangpo's gate on Zishi Street.I saw two corpses buried shallowly beside the street in front of the door, with two guns interlaced and a lantern hanging on top of them, and a hand list hung on the door, which read: "This county is a matter of life: the murderer Wu Song killed Pan, Wang My mother-in-law ordered someone to capture the first person to file a lawsuit, and the official rewarded [-] taels of silver." Just looking up, two people came out of a shack next to him, and shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing reading this announcement? "
Chen Jingji ran away in a hurry.Walking to the side of the restaurant under the stone bridge, there was a man wearing a swastika and a blue jacket, followed him to the foot of the bridge, and said, "Brother, you are so bold, why are you here just to see it?"
Ji Ji was taken aback again, and turned around to look back, but it was an acquaintance, Yang Dalang with iron nails.Two voices here.
Yang Dalang said: "My brother has never been seen, where did he come from?"
The economy then told about Dongdong's father's death and going back, and said: "It just so happened that the woman who was killed was my father-in-law's younger brother. I didn't know it before, but I saw the announcement just now, so I knew why."
Yang Dalang told: "This woman's former younger uncle, Wu Song, was an outsider. When he was pardoned, he returned him. He killed the woman for some reason, and even Wang's wife was not spared. There is also a girl in his family. My uncle Yao Erlang The family has been supporting the family for several years. His uncle killed someone yesterday and disappeared without a trace. My uncle took the girl out of the county and married her as a wife and child. Now these two corpses have been so shallow for a long time. Buried, it was only after suffering from the local Baojia guards, not to mention the year, month and day, that the murderer Wu Song was caught." After finishing speaking, please go to the restaurant for a drink.
Seeing that the person he liked was dead, Chen Jingji couldn't stop his pain, so he couldn't eat or drink.After drinking three cups, he bid farewell and went downstairs.In the evening, I bought a Moqian paper and burned it on the side of Zishiqiao, a stone bridge far away from Wangpo's gate, and said to myself, "Sixth Sister Pan, my little brother Chen Jiji will burn Moqian paper for you today. It's because I came a step late and missed your life. You were a man when you were alive, and a god after you died. Bless you early to catch your enemy Wu Song and avenge you. ambition." After speaking, wept and burned the money paper.
When he got home, closed the door, went back to the room, and fell on the bed, Chen Jingji felt that he was in a haze, as if he was sleeping but not sleeping. He saw Jinlian wearing plain clothes and covered in blood, crying to Jiji: "My brother , I died so hard! I really hoped to get along with you, but I was deceived by Wu Song and killed my life when you didn’t come. Now that the underworld is closed, I wander around during the day and return to various places at night. Begging for water. Just now you sent me a banknote. But the enemy has not been found, and my body is buried in the street. You can remember the old feelings and buy a coffin to bury it, so as not to be exposed for a long time."
Ji Ji cried: "My sister, I know I want to bury you, but I'm afraid that my mother-in-law's ruthless whore will know about Ximen Qing's house. She relied on me and took advantage of her opportunity. Sister, you should go to the garrison mansion." Just tell Chunmei and teach her to bury you."
Jin Lian said: "Just now when I arrived at the garrison mansion, the Kobe captain refused to let go. I must slowly plead with them again."
Ji Ji was crying and tried to pull her to talk, but was rushed away by a burst of blood on her body, and broke free, but it was Nan Keyimeng.When I listened to the drum on the pillow, it was three o'clock in the middle of the night, and said: "Strange! I clearly dreamed of Sixth Sister, who told me her heart and taught me the meaning of burial. I don't know when and when Wu Song will be caught. It's so sad!"
The county sent people to visit and capture Wusong. It took about two months, but they could not be captured. It is known that he fled Liangshan as a thief.The local Baojialinyou reported to the officials that all the two bodies were buried, and the family members were ordered to bury them accordingly.The dead body of Wang Po was buried by her son.Only Jinlian's body was left, and no one came to collect it.
Chunmei, who was guarding the mansion, once every two or three days, sent Zhang Sheng and Li An to the county to inquire about arresting the murderer.During the new year, in the first ten days of the first lunar month, one night, Chunmei had a dream, in a trance, dreaming that the golden lotus cloud was fluffy and covered in blood, and she cried: "Sister Pang, my good sister, the slave died so bitterly." Yes! It was so easy to come to see you, but the door god stopped me and shouted at me, and I dared not come in. Now my enemy Wu Song has escaped. Only the slave’s body has been exposed in the street for a long time. There is no one to lead the burial. The slave has no relatives. If you think about the old mother-child relationship, buy a coffin and bury the slave in the same place. When the slave dies, he will shut his mouth and eyes." After speaking, he burst into tears.Chunmei grabbed her and wanted to ask her something else, but when she broke away, she let go and realized that it was Nan Keyimeng.Waking up from the dream crying, I was hesitating in my heart.
The next day, Chunmei called Zhang Sheng and Li An in, and said, "You two go to the county and inquire if there are any corpses of the buried woman."
The two promised to go.Not long after, he came back to report: "The principal culprit has escaped. All the dead bodies were killed. The local guards will not be inconvenient for a long time, and they will order their families to bury them accordingly. The woman's body was buried by her son. There was that woman, but no one came to fetch her, and she was still buried in the middle of the street."
Chunmei said, "Since that's the case, I have something to do to both of you. If you can do it for me, I will reward you both."
The two knelt down and said, "What are you talking about, my little lady! If you are willing to praise the villain one or two in front of the master, you will not be able to bear it. Even if you go through fire and water, how dare you say no?"
Chunmei went into the room, took out ten taels of silver and two bolts of cloth, and entrusted the two of them: "This dead woman is one of my direct sisters, who married into Ximenqing's family, came out today, and was killed. Don't you two tell your master to know; use this money to buy a coffin for me, put her in a coffin, carry her out of the city, and choose a convenient place to bury her."
The two said: "It doesn't matter, the villain will go."
When the two came out, Li An said: "I'm afraid the county won't let you and me get the corpse? I have to take the master's note and go down to the county magistrate."
Zhang Shengdao: "Just say that the little lady is her sister, married in the mansion, the county magistrate is not good enough to refuse, why cancel the post."
The two took the silver and came to the class room. Zhang Sheng said to Li An: "I think the dead woman and the young lady once worked together at Ximen Qing's house, and they got along well. Today, Fang is so troublesome for her." When she died, the little madam cried for three or four days and didn't eat. The master tried every means to comfort her, but it was useless. He also asked her to watch it with her in front of the door, but she didn't like it. If we help her She does this well, sooner or later she will be convenient for you and me in front of the master, and she is a bit of a lucky star. Now the master is obedient to everything, listens to her, and is a serious grandma and second mistress and stays behind."
Zhang Sheng and Li An came to the county government office and handed over the collar certificate, saying that the dead woman and her sister were in the master's mansion, and they came to collect the body.How dare the county government not obey?The two used six liang of silver to build a coffin, dug up Jinlian's body, stuffed the heart and liver in the belly, sewed the head up with thread, wrapped it in cloth for burial, and put it in the coffin.Zhang Sheng said: "It will be buried in Yongfu Temple in the south of the old man's Xianghuoyuan. There is free space there. After burying it, go back to my little lady." Li An agreed.So I called two companions, carried it to Yongfu Temple, and told the elders that they were relatives of the little lady in the house.The elder didn't dare to neglect, so he picked a hollow poplar tree behind the temple and buried the golden lotus.
After everything was over, the two returned to the mansion to report to Chunmei, and handed over the remaining four taels of silver.
Chunmei said: "It's good to motivate you two. Take two liang of the four taels of silver and tell the elder Dao Jian, and teach him to recite sutras for her sooner or later, so that she can ascend to heaven." He also took out a large bottle of wine and a leg of pork , a leg of mutton, and said: "For these two taels of silver, each of you should take one tael for daily use at home. These wine and meat can be regarded as rewards."
The two knelt down, how dare they pick it up.He just said: "If the little lady is willing to praise the villain in front of the master, she can't stand it. How dare these little labors accept silver taels."
Chunmei said: "I reward you, if you don't accept it, I will be annoyed."
The two had no choice but to kowtow and lead them out. They sat in the class room and ate wine, and they really praised the little lady's benefits.
The next day, Zhang Sheng gave the two taels of silver to the elder to read scriptures.Chunmei gave another five coins to buy paper and golden lotus to burn.
Chen Jingji's mother, Mrs. Zhang, and her family, Chen Ding, carried the coffin from Tokyo to Qinghe County, and parked the coffin in Yongfu Temple, waiting for the scriptures to be distributed and buried in the grave.When the economy learned, he only greeted him at the door of the house and kowtowed to his mother.
Mrs. Zhang blamed him: "Don't go out of the city to pick me up!"
The economy only said: "I am unhappy, and there is no one guarding the house."
Mrs. Zhang asked again: "Why didn't your uncle disappear?"
Ji Ji said: "Seeing that his mother was coming, he moved home quickly."
Mrs. Zhang said, "Let's teach your uncle to live here. Why move away in a hurry?" At this time, Zhang Tuanlian came to see his sister.The two sisters and brothers cried with their heads in their arms, and set up wine to talk.
The next day, Zhang's envoy took five taels of silver and a few mosaics of gold and silver money paper, and went to Yongfu Temple outside the city to recite scriptures for his father with the elders.I was riding on Toukou Street when I bumped into Yang Dalang and Lu Erlang, so I hurriedly stopped to say hello.
The two asked, "Where is brother going?"
Ji Ji said: "My late father's coffin is sent to the temple outside the city. Tomorrow will be the seventh day on the [-]th. My mother asked me to send money to the elders for fasting and chanting."
The two hurriedly said: "Brother, I don't know that the old man's coffin has arrived, so I asked him if he was lost. I don't know when he will be buried?"
"It's only between these two days. After reading the scriptures, I will be buried in the grave." Economics said.Seeing the two people raise their hands to say goodbye, he called Yang Dalang again: "My father-in-law's younger brother in front of the county, why is Pan's body missing? Who took it away?"
Yang Dalang told him: "Ten days ago, because Wu Song could not be caught, the local government reported to the county magistrate, and ordered each family to take him for burial. Wang Po was taken by her son. Only the woman's body was lost for three or four days. The garrison mansion bought a coffin, sent people to carry it out of the city, and buried it behind Yongfu Temple."
After hearing this, Jing knew that it was Chunmei who did it.He asked again, "How many Yongfu Temples are there outside the city?"
Da Lang said: "Just outside the south gate of the city is the incense fire courtyard of Lord Zhou Xiu. How many Yongfu Temples are there?"
After hearing this, Ji Ji secretly rejoiced: "This is Yongfu Temple! It's also a coincidence, and I am so happy that the sixth sister is also buried here."
So they bid farewell to the two of them, headed out of the city, and went to Yongfu Temple. When they saw the elder, they didn't say anything about chanting scriptures for their father. Instead, they first asked the elder Daojian, "Where is the newly buried woman in the garrison mansion?"
The elder said: "It's under the poplar tree behind the temple. It is said to be the sister of the little lady in the house."
Instead of going to see his father's coffin, Chen Jingji took some money paper sacrifices, went to Pan Jinlian's grave, sacrificed to her, burned the money paper, and cried: "My sixth sister, your brother Chen Jingji came to accompany you Burn a mosaic of money paper. You need to settle down for the good, and use the money for the trouble." After the sacrifice, he went to the abbot's father's coffin to burn the paper as a sacrifice.He also handed over the scripture money to the elder, and taught him to invite eight Zen monks to recite the seven sutras tomorrow.
The next day, all the monks recited scriptures.Mrs. Zhang and her son led their family members to the temple to burn incense, choose auspicious occasions, and return the coffin to the ancestral tomb.
One day at the beginning of February, when the weather was mild, Yueniang, Yulou, Xue'e, Sister Ximen, and Xiaoyu stood at the front of the gate, watching the commotion of people passing by.First, a fat monk came to ask for alms.Yueniang used to like to give alms to monks, and she often made up her mind to make a monk's hat and shoes in order to give alms. When she saw the begging monk, she asked Xiaoyu to get a monk's hat, a pair of monk's shoes, a hanging copper coin, and a bucket. White rice, give this monk.
After sending the monk away, she suddenly saw Mrs. Xue coming from the street with a flower box, and Yueniang asked, "Where are you going? Why don't you come to my place?"
Mrs. Xue approached, said Wanfu, and said, "I don't know what I'm busy with all day long. In the past two days, Zhang Er's father, who was in charge of punishment on the street, married his son, married Xu Gonggong in the north, and married his son. My niece is also about my marriage with Sister-in-law Wen. Three days ago, there was a big banquet. I was so busy that I was called by our young lady in the garrison mansion, but I didn’t go. I don’t know why she annoyed me!"
Yue Niang asked: "Where are you going now?"
Mrs. Xue said, "I have something to say, so I'll come and talk to your old man."
"You have something to say." Yueniang asked Mrs. Xue to sit in the upper room at the back and had tea.
Mrs. Xue said: "You don't know, old man? Your in-laws, Chen, died of illness in Tokyo last year. My mother-in-law called my brother-in-law to move the family's coffin. Since I came home in the first lunar month, I have already read scriptures and sent them out, and I have finished burial on the grave. Just say that your old man knows, why don't you burn a piece of paper and visit?"
Yue Niang said: "If you don't tell me, how do I know about it here, and no one inquires about it. I only know that Pan's family killed her uncle and buried them with Mrs. Wang, but I don't know what's going on now. "
Sister-in-law Xue said: "Since ancient times, life has its place and death has its place. Wu Niang, an old man, didn't go out because of those things, but it's not good? She doesn't keep her duty on weekdays, she does ugly things and goes out. If she is in our house, How could her younger uncle kill her? The enemy has the head, the debt has the owner. Thanks to our eldest daughter Chunmei, she couldn't get past the feelings of a woman, so she sent someone to buy a coffin and took her body to bury her. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's still exposed to the streets. If you can't get her brother-in-law, who will take care of her?"
Sun Xue'e said from the side: "How long has Chunmei been sold in the garrison's mansion, is she so old? If he can buy a coffin for her to bury with money in his hand, the garrison is not angry. Who does he think of her?"
Mrs. Xue said: "Yeah, you don't know yet. Be on guard and don't like her! Every day I just sleep in her room and say a few words. Once I marry her, I live with her in the three rooms in the west wing Maid, bought a maid again, several people waited on her, cut four seasons clothes for her, and put it on. I got a silver reward and a piece of satin. Grandma is 50 years old, her eyesight is blind, she eats long fast, and doesn’t care about things. Sun Erniang gave birth to a young lady. Now Chunmei holds the keys to the large and small warehouses. Be on guard and don’t listen to her. Let’s talk about money, how much money can’t be taken out?”
Yueniang and Xue'e were silent.
After sitting for a while, Mrs. Xue got up.Yueniang ordered: "Come tomorrow, I will prepare a sacrificial table, a ruler, and a piece of paper, and you will send the eldest sister to burn the paper with her father-in-law."
"Aren't you going?" Aunt Xue asked.
"You just said that I have a bad heart, so I can visit my in-laws another day." Yue Niang said.
This sister-in-law Xue agreed: "You teach the eldest sister to clean up and wait for me. I will come when the meal is over."
Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Yueniang asked, "Where are you going now? It doesn't matter if you don't go to the garrison mansion."
"Don't go? If I don't go, I'll make her crazy. She has called me several times as a companion." Mrs. Xue said.
"What did she ask you to do?" Yueniang asked.
"Grandma, you don't know. She is now four or five months pregnant. If the master likes it so much, he will reward me if he asks me to go." Sister Xue said, carrying the flower box and resigning.
Xue'e said: "The old whore has no money! When she sold the guard's house for a long time, she had half a child? Then the guard has a few houses around him, so why not just pick her up?" There is a reason!"
Yueniang said: "He also has Grandma Zhengjing, and there is a wife of Miss Sheng in the room."
Xue'e said: "That's not true! After all, it's the matchmaker's mouth, and the water is ten feet wide."
The next day, Wu Yueniang prepared a sacrificial table, three pigs' heads, soup rice paper, etc., sealed a ruler head, and taught the elder sister to pack a suit of plain clothes and sit in a sedan chair.Sister-in-law Xue went ahead with the sacrificial ceremony and came to the gate of Chen's house.
Chen Jingji was standing at the door.
Mrs. Xue carried the sacrificial ritual teacher inside.
The economy asked: "Where is it?"
Sister-in-law Xue said all blessings first, and said, "Brother-in-law, don't push it away. Your mother-in-law's family came to burn paper with your father, and sent the eldest sister here."
Ji Ji said: "Mine is the mother-in-law! On the [-]th of the first lunar month, the door god was posted, 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 a widow has no legs and crabs. I don't know that your in-laws' coffin came home. Don't blame me for being a step late."
Just as he was talking, the eldest sister's sedan chair came and landed at the door.
The economy asked again: "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."
The economy scolded: "Take the prostitute back as soon as possible. If she is dead, what do I want her to do!"
Mrs. Xue said: "As the saying goes: Marrying a husband is the master. Why do you say that?"
Ji Ji said: "I don't want this whore anymore, don't go with me!" Seeing that the sedan chair bearer just stood still, Ji Ji kicked her twice and scolded: "Don't carry it with me, I will Broke Huazi's legs, and pulled out all the mane hair of the adulteress!"
The person who carried the sedan chair hurt so much from his kick, so he had to lift the sedan chair and walk back.When Mrs. Xue called out Mrs. Zhang, the sedan chair had already been carried away.
Aunt Xue had no choice but to ask Mrs. Zhang to accept the sacrificial ceremony and come back to Yueniang.Yueniang was so angry that she said, "You unreasonable, short-lived prisoner! At the beginning, your family hid in the husband's house for official business, and you lived in it for a few years. Today, you rebelled and avenged your revenge. I hate the dead ghost who took it back then. The good guy is at home, and if something happens, he will teach me to be a stinky mouse today, and teach him to fart and shame." Then he said to the elder sister: "Boy, you have seen it with your own eyes. What did the father-in-law and mother-in-law lose to him? You Live is his family, death is his ghost, and it is difficult for my family to keep you. If you go back tomorrow, don’t be afraid of him. I don’t think he will be able to drag you into the well. He is so courageous, he can’t kill people anyway. Don't care about him!"
On the second day, a sedan chair, taught by Dai'an'er, followed, and sent Sister Ximen to Chen's house again.Chen Jingji was not at home, and went to add soil to his father's grave.Mrs. Zhang knew the etiquette, left her eldest sister behind, and said to Dai'an, "When the senior official comes home, go to his relative's house more: thank you for the sacrifice, don't want to be as knowledgeable as him. He was drunk yesterday, so he is like this, wait for me Talk to him slowly." While taking care of Dai'an'er, he went to comfort him.
Chen Jingji came home at dusk, and when he saw the elder sister, he just kicked and beat her, and scolded: "What are you doing here again, whore? You also said that I eat at your house, and your house has many boxes and cages for me, which is why it is so big. He even said that he was supporting his son-in-law in vain! If you are dead, what do I want you, whore, to do!"
The eldest sister also opened her mouth to curse: "Shameless prisoner, unreasonable prisoner! That whore went out to eat people and killed him, so you use me to vent your anger."
Ji Ji was even more annoyed. He pulled the eldest sister's hair and punched her as hard as she could.Mrs. Zhang came to persuade her, and he pushed her mother down.Mrs. Zhang yelled and cried: "You are so stupid, your eyes are red, you don't even recognize me!"
The economy is just squabbling, and at night, a sedan chair brought Miss Ximen back again, and said: "Come home without asking for the dowry box that will be deposited, I will kill you, whore!"
After all, the eldest sister is a woman, and she is afraid, so she hides at home and dare not go again.
In a blink of an eye, the Ching Ming Festival is here.Wu Yueniang prepared incense candles, money papers, sacrifices for three animals, food and drink, etc., and carried two large food boxes, leaving behind Sun Xue'e and the eldest sister, and the maids to look after the house, and brought Meng Yulou and Xiaoyu, Naizi and Yi'er to hold the filial brother , all sat in sedan chairs and went to the new tomb five miles outside the city to worship and sweep the new tomb for Ximen Qing.Uncle Wu and his wife, husband and mother 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 the ladies and tourists keep walking.Throughout the year, there is no spring, and the scenery is the best: the sun is called a beautiful day; The BMW, the sedan chair you sit on is called a fragrant car, the road you travel is called a fragrant path, and the soil that flies underground is called a fragrant dust; thousands of flowers sprout stamens, and ten thousand 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.Hundreds of orioles frightened back to their noon dreams, Ziyan uttered the sorrows of spring several times.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, green poplar smoke is hung high on the swing.The spring scene at the end is really good!When spring comes, there are places to visit on the county roads of Nafu Prefecture and in various villages, towns and cities.There is a poem that says it well:
Where is there no smoke in the Qingming Festival, paper money hangs on the breeze in the suburbs.People laugh, people sing, and the grassland is full of apricot blossoms.On the branch of the crabapple, the voice of the warbler is flowing, and the eyes of the drunken guest are drunk by the willow embankment.The pretty girls in pink compete for the drawing board, and the colorful ropes sway to learn how to fly.
The sedan chairs of Wu Yueniang and the others came to Ximenqing's grave in this beautiful spring day.Dai'an arrived earlier with the food box in hand, lit a fire under the kitchen in the manor house, and the cook left to tidy up.Yueniang and the others sat down to drink tea in the guest seat of the villa, waiting for Mrs. Wu.Dai'an placed three animals on the table, soup and rice sacrifices on the altar on Ximenqing's grave, and listed paper money, just waiting for Wu Dajinzi to arrive.At the time of the appointment, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu hired two donkeys and rode them, saying that they could not hire a sedan chair.Yueniang said, "The eldest concubine can't hire a sedan chair, so how can I ride this donkey." After eating tea and changing clothes, she came to Ximenqing's grave to worship and sweep.
Yueniang held five sticks of incense in her hand, and gave one to Yulou; In the incense burner, I bowed deeply and said: "My brother, you are a human being in life and a god after death. Today, during the Ching Ming Festival in March, your filial wives, the third sister Wu and the third sister Meng, and your one-year-old child brother filial piety Son, 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 your appearance and What you said is so sad!" Then, seeing Dai'an lighting the paper money, she burst into tears:
After burning the paper, the little feet stomped.There is nothing wrong with my words as a husband and wife with you.I really hope that we will grow old together, but who knows that you will abandon your slave halfway.At the beginning, it was me who came to see me favorably, but now I have left Tongdou'er's family relationship, and the child is young.Leaving my son, mother and widow alone, how can I send them away?It just seems to be caught in the rain halfway and caught in the wind!The mandarin ducks were broken up, and the different fruits were broken.He yelled, good-natured brother!Thinking of you moving and hiding, don't sigh and kill me.
The paper ashes were so burned that they turned around, but my son-in-law was not seen.The young husband cried, leaving Jiaoer behind, feeling so lonely.We missed each other, how can we meet you again?
Yulou went up to insert incense, bowed deeply, and cried:
After burning the paper, tears fell.He screamed, and the sky was full of people, but he was so lost that he had no whereabouts.Shi Chengwang will stay with you forever, who knows that the half-way flower will disappear.The eldest sister has children and she is okay in her room, but the tree is so dark that there is no shade, who will she live with?What can I do if I guard the lonely curtain alone?It's just like coming to the village without going to the store!Where is my leaf falling back to its roots, and the harvest of the garden?Shout out, young brother!I want to see you only in a dream, but I don't want to kill me!
Crying and crying until I am demented, you will not waste it once you go.Think about it, there is no bottom, you are young, and you are so delicate.The kind heart is anxious, and the beauty is reduced.
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 eldest concubine burned incense and finished their rituals.All the people let them go to the rolling shed on the farm together, set up tables and mats, set up meals, and clean up and drink.
At this time, the little lady Pang Chunmei from the Garrison Mansion also came out of the city to visit the grave.
