Chapter 18 Meng Yulou loves to marry Li Yanei Wu Yueniang sues Chen Jingji
Li Gongbi, the son of Lizhi County, has been a widower for a long time, and he has been asking the matchmaker to marry him everywhere, to no avail.Seeing Wu Yueniang and her party at the Xinghua Village Restaurant on Qingming Day, she fell in love with Meng Yulou, but there was no way to enter, and she didn't know whether to marry or not, and how to behave.When the Xue'e incident happened, the Li Yamen thought that Yueniang would come to pick up the things, but unexpectedly, Yueniang didn't let people come to see the officials, and the Yamen was disappointed.So why don't we discuss with the Lang officials, and let the official matchmaker Tao Mama come to Ximen Qing's house to visit and ask for marriage. She promises that if the marriage is successful, she will be exempted from the county and will be rewarded with five taels of silver.After hearing this, Mother Tao ran away like flying like flying, screaming like chickens and dogs in shock, and came to the door of Ximen Qing's house.
Lai Zhao was standing at the front of the gate, and Mother Tao came forward and said Wanfu, and said, "Just ask the housekeeper, is this Ximen's father's house?"
Lai Zhao said: "Where did you come from? This is Ximen's father's house. My father has passed away, what do you have to say?"
"The housekeeper has to go in and report. I am the official matchmaker of this county. My name is Mama Tao. I was told by Junyu, the little old man in the yamen, that there is a grandma in our house who wants to marry. Please tell me about the marriage."
"You are so unreasonable, old woman! My father has been gone for more than a year, and only two grandmas are widowed and do not marry. As the saying goes, storms and storms do not enter the house of widows. You matchmaker, it doesn't matter if you want to come here It’s a close relationship! You still don’t go away. If you provoke the grandma behind you, you’ll get a good fight.”
Mother Tao smiled and said, "Brother Steward, it is often said that officials are not good when officials are bad, but people are not bad. What do I dare to do if my little father doesn't let me? To marry or not, go in and tell me, so I can talk back."
Laizhao also changed his tone: "Forget it, it's convenient for others, and it's convenient for yourself. You wait for a while and wait for me to go in. There are two grandmas, one has a brother and the other has no brother. I don't know which grandma it is. Want to get married?"
"The little old man in the yamen said that it was the grandma who had some white pockmarks on her face that she saw in the suburbs on Qingming."
Lai Zhao went to the back and told Yueniang: "The county sent an official matchmaker outside."
Yueniang was taken aback: "My family didn't say a single word, so how do outsiders know?"
Lai Zhaodao: "It is said that she met the grandma who had a few white pockmarks on her face in the suburbs on Qingming."
Yueniang stopped talking, and thought to herself: "Could it be that Third Sister Meng is also tempted by the radish in the twelfth lunar month, and suddenly she wants to go forward to marry someone? It's the world's sea water that knows the depth, but only people's hearts can't miss it." So she walked to Yuyu In the building, I sat down and asked: "Sister Meng, I have something to ask you. There is a Baoshan matchmaker outside, who said that the small and medium-sized yamen in the county had seen you on the Qingming day and said that you wanted to move forward. There is really such a thing. talk?"
After hearing Yueniang's question, Yulou's mind, which had not been calm for a few days, turned again.On the outskirts that day, Yulou also saw Li Yanei, who was a good-looking man, flamboyant, and moved his mind: "The man is dead, and there is nothing to do with the slave. Although the aunt has a child, it will grow up tomorrow, and everyone will be happy." Everyone is in pain, so go to his mother. The tree fell without any shade, and the bamboo basket fetched water." Thinking that Yueniang has a filial brother, her heart has changed, not like before, "It's better than before Take a step forward and find the last place where the leaves have fallen back to their roots, but what do you just care about foolishly? It has not delayed the youth of the slave, and failed the youth of the slave.”In the past few days, I have been thinking so much every day, and just now I was in a daze thinking about it.When Yueniang came in and said this, it was the person she was looking for, she was happy and ashamed, but she still said: "Don't listen to people's nonsense, my aunt, I didn't say that." Her face immediately flushed.
Seeing her shy and happy expression, Yueniang knew what she was saying, and said, "Since it's what's on everyone's mind, I don't have much control over it." On the one hand, she called Laizhao, "Please invite that Baoshan." After finishing speaking, she went to the upper room In the Ming room, the coffin of Ximen Qing is enshrined on the front.
Mama Tao came in, paid her respects, and sat down.The little girl Xiuchun poured tea and ate it.
Yueniang then asked, "What's the matter here in Baoshan?"
Tao's mother said: "Little daughter-in-law does not go to the Three Treasures Hall if she has nothing to do. According to the order of the county's main house, I respectfully say that there is a grandma in our house who is going to marry and talk about her marriage."
"My lady got married and never spread the news, how did your yamen know about it?"
"My family's yamen said that on the day of Qingming, I saw this lady in the suburbs. She was tall and tall, with melon seeds and a few white pockmarks on her face. She was this grandma."
Yueniang stopped talking, and led the matchmaker to the Yulou room, and sat down in the open room.
After waiting for half a day, Yulou washed up and came out.
Mother Tao hurriedly got up and said Wanfu, and said: "This is the grandma, she really speaks the truth, she is talented and unparalleled in the world, she can be a decent lady with my father in the yamen. You see, from the beginning to the end, she is very romantic. Incomparable; from head to toe, the wind flows down!"
Yulou said with a smile: "Mom, don't talk nonsense. Let's talk about how old you are in the yamen this year, have you ever married a wife, whether there is anyone in the house, who is the name, where is the township, where is the field, whether there is an official or not. As an official, to be honest, don't lie."
Mother Tao said: "My God, my God! The young daughter-in-law is an official matchmaker in this county, and she can't lie faster than outside matchmakers. I have one sentence to say, and there is no falsehood. My county magistrate's father is over 50 years old, and he only gave birth to the yamen father. One person, this year belongs to the horse, 31 years old, born on the 23rd day of the first lunar month; now he is a senior in the Imperial College, and soon he will be a scholar and a Jinshi; he has a lot of articles, is skilled in bowing and horses, and knows all kinds of scholars. He passed away. Years and years, I want to find a woman to head the house, but I can't find a married couple in the same place. I respectfully come to the house to talk about this marriage. If it succeeds, the little daughter-in-law will not be forced to work in the county, and there will be a big reward. If we do this marriage in the house , Father said, the poor front door, land, money and food in the tomb, one case will be exempted; if someone bullies, name them, bring them to the county, and beat them at will."
Yulou asked again: "Do you have any children in the yamen? Where is the origin? I'm afraid that when the term of office is full for a while, thousands of mountains and rivers will take them away, and all the slaves are here. Do you want to go with him?"
Mother Tao said: "There are no children and women around my father in the yamen, so it's not a single path. The origin is from our family in Zaoqiang County, Zhending Prefecture, Beijing. It is not six or seven hundred miles away from the Yellow River. His home is full of fields. There are groups of mules and horses, countless people, and the archway of the horses. They are all written in plain text, and the sacred decree is above. Hua Guan, what's wrong with taking a seven-scented chariot as a wife and wife?"
Meng Yulou was told by Mama Tao, she spoke with great sincerity, and at the same time called Lan Xiang: "Put the table, let's watch tea, snacks and Baoshan to eat." Not to mention tea and snacks, it's not bad if you don't look down.The Yulou said again: "Baoshan, don't blame me for interrogating you. You matchmakers lie a lot. At the beginning, you told a lot of hype, and there were golden lotuses in the ground. In the middle, there is nothing. The slave is also cannibalistic."
Mother Tao said: "Good grandma, as long as one compares with the other, it's good to be clear and muddy, and it's good to be tired of the bad. The little daughter-in-law doesn't lie, she only acts as a matchmaker according to her duty, and accomplishes good things for others. Grandma agrees, beg Give me a wedding post, so I can talk back to my little daddy."
Yulou took a piece of bright red satin and asked Fu's clerk in the shop in Dai'an to write the date of birth.
Wu Yueniang then said: "You were the matchmaker that Mrs. Xue said at the beginning, but now you have asked the young man to call Mrs. Xue to come. It is reasonable for the two of you to take a post together to talk about this marriage."
The jade building is in compliance, and Dai'er is called to go.
Not long after, Mrs. Xue came and saw Tao's mother saying good luck.When you see you, you go out of Ximen Qing's house with the post, and go back to the county to talk in the yamen.One is the Iceman here, and the other is that Baoshan, with 48 teeth in two mouths.
Mother Tao asked Mrs. Xue on the way, "Are you the original matchmaker for this lady?"
"Of course, it is." Mrs. Xue replied.
Mother Tao asked again: "Who is the daughter of someone who married here before? Married here is a daughter, is it a remarried son?"
Mrs. Xue told the truth.
Tao's mother looked at the wedding post and said, "Female life is 37 years old, born on November 27th." She said, "I'm afraid the yamen thinks the lady is older. What's wrong? He's only 31 years old today. Six years old."
Mrs. Xue said: "This is so difficult! Let's take this wedding invitation and give it to a passing gentleman to see if his life will hinder it. If it's not right, let's keep him from telling him how old he is, and we won't be fooled."
The two of them looked around as they walked, but they didn't see a gentleman passing by the castanets, but they saw a hexagram four far away in the south of the road, with two lines of big characters hanging on the green cloth curtain: "Ziping judges high and low, iron pen judges honor Dry; someone comes to fortune-telling, and the blunt words are not merciful." There is a table under the tent, and there is a gentleman who can write and calculate quickly.The two matchmakers came forward and said good luck.The gentleman sat down.
Mrs. Xue said: "There is a woman's life, Mr. Tired counts it." Xiang took out three points of life gold from his sleeve and said, "Don't underestimate it. Mister has the right to accept it. I never brought more money when I passed by."
The gentleman said: "Does this mean marriage? Say the horoscope!"
Mother Tao handed him a wedding post.
The gentleman looked at it, pinched his fingers to find the pattern, shook the operator, and said: "This girl is 37 years old, born on the 27th of November, the month of Jiazi, the day of Xinmao, and the time of Gengzi. The rules are based on the pattern of seal and ribbon. Women's fate is retrograde, and now Bingshen is in luck. Binghe Xinsheng, who is fortunate to have authority in the future, is in charge of the life of the wife of Zhengtang. Among the four powers, there are many husband stars. Definitely see him. Sure enough, have you seen it before?"
Mrs. Xue said: "I have overcome the two masters."
The gentleman said: "If you have seen it, you will get a horse in the future."
Mrs. Xue asked, "Will she have children in the future?"
The gentleman said: "The child is early, and he was hit until the age of 41 before he had a son to see him off. Life is good fortune, wealth and glory are incomparable." He took a pen and wrote down eight sentences of fate, and read:
When the flowers are in full bloom and the fruit is strange, I am delighted to meet a good gentleman and set up Fengchi.
The charming posture does not lose Jiangmei's attitude, three red and two thrushes.
Join hands to invite each other to ascend the Jade Palace, holding the golden goblet alone in shame.
I will watch the horse's head rise to the sun, but the Yin skin can be removed at will.
Mrs. Xue then asked: "Sir, what is the meaning of 'seeing the day when the horse's head rises, and taking off the skin'? We don't understand these two sentences."
The gentleman said: "The head of the horse, this lady is now married to a husband who belongs to the horse. She is a noble star and enjoys the glory. Yinpi is a husband who has overcome, and belongs to the tiger. Although she is loved by Pang, it is just a partial house. All the way to fame and fame, until the age of 68, there is a son, who dies, and the husband and wife grow old together."
The two matchmakers said: "It turns out that the one who is married now is a horse. I'm afraid I'm a few years older and I can't match it. I beg my husband to be two years younger."
The gentleman said: "If you want to change it, let's change it to Ding Mao's 34 years old."
Sister-in-law Xue asked, "A 34-year-old is compatible with a horse?"
The gentleman said: "Ding Huo Geng Jin, when the fire meets gold, it is destined to become a great weapon, just right!"
The current age of Kaiyulou is 34.
The two matchmakers bid farewell to their husbands, left the hexagram and went to the county.Ya Nei is waiting for news.The door reports in, calls in the second matchmaker, kneels down and kowtows.
The yamen then asked, "Where is this woman from?"
Mother Tao said: "It's her matchmaker." She said that she told her about the marriage again.Said: "The lady is very talented, but she is older. The little daughter-in-law does not dare to do whatever she wants, and does as the father in the yamen respects. I have asked for a wedding invitation here." As he said, he handed over the wedding invitation with both hands.
Li Yanei looked at it, and it said "34 years old, born on November 27th", and said: "It's just three or two years older, it doesn't matter."
Sister-in-law Xue interrupted and said: "What I saw is that since ancient times, my wife is the second, and the eldest is Jin;
The yamen said: "Since it's good, I've seen it before, so there's no need to see each other again. When Yin and Yang are ordered to choose auspicious days, the tea ceremony is over."
The two matchmakers asked, "When will the daughter-in-law come to serve?"
The yamen said: "It's not too late. You two will come to talk to her tomorrow and go to her house." He also ordered: "Everyone will reward her with a tael of silver for walking."
The two matchmakers were overjoyed, sleeved their money and went out.
Seeing that the marriage has been completed, Li Yanei was overjoyed, so he called the Lang official why not Weilai, the two discussed and told his father Li Zhixian.He also ordered the yin and yang students to choose the eighth day of the fourth month to salute, and on the fifteenth day when the auspicious day was good, they were allowed to marry.Immediately cash out the silver and entrust He Buwei and Xiao Zhangxian to comprador tea and red wine gifts.
The two matchmakers discussed the date the next day, and went to Ximen Qing's house to return Yueniang and Yulou's words.On the eighth day of April, the county prepared sixteen plates of soup, fruit and tea cakes, a pair of gold silk crowns, a pair of gold-headed noodles, an agate belt, a pair of seven things, gold bracelets and silver chains, and two scarlet pieces. Gongjin robes, four sets of colorful clothes, 30 taels of gift money, and the rest of the cloth, silk and cotton, totaling about [-] liters.Two matchmakers followed, why didn't the gallery official Wei Yadan, and sent it to Ximen Qing's house for tea.
On the [-]th day, the county dispatched a lot of fast-handed idlers to move the dowry boxes and cages of the Yulou bed curtains.Yueniang watched, and handed over all the things in her room to her.On the day of Ximen Qing's birthday, she accompanied the eldest sister with an eight-step painted bed in Yulou, and Yueniang accompanied her with the mother-of-pearl bed in the Golden Lotus Room.Yulou taught Lanxiang to go with her, leaving Xiaoluan and Yueniang to watch her brother.Yueniang refused, and said: "Girl in your room, how can I keep you? The left and right brothers have Zhongqiuer, Xiuchun and Naizi, and that's enough." Yulou only left a pair of silver Huihui pots, with My brother is playing with his son, making a souvenir, and taking the rest with him.
In the evening, a big sedan chair for four people, four pairs of red gauze and iron falling lanterns, and eight Zaoli followed to marry Meng Yulou.Yulou wears a gold beam crown, a head full of pearls and emeralds, beard beads, a red sleeved gown, a gold inlaid agate belt, seven things of the pendant, and a willow-yellow hundred-flower skirt. .
Yueniang said: "Sister Meng, you are so ruthless! You have left me alone, who will be my companion?" The two cried together for a while.
Then everyone in the family sent Yulou out of the gate.The matchmaker put on the red Luopin gold hijab for her and taught her to hold the golden blessing bottle.Yueniang was a widow and couldn't go out, so she invited Aunt Meng to see her off and went to the magistrate's office.There was another commotion, and people all over the street came to see, point out and discuss, saying good things and saying bad things.
Aunt Meng sent her relatives to the county government office, laid out the bed curtains, and stayed at the banquet to come home.Li Yanei called Sister-in-law Xue and Mother Tao to him, and sent them out for five taels of silver each, and a section of bonus money.At the end of the day, the two got married, enjoying the joy of fish and water, and the joy of flying.
On the next day, Wu Yueniang delivered tea and finished the meal.Miss Yang is dead, and Meng Dajin, Erjinzi, and Aunt Meng all sent tea to the county.Then Li Yameni will write back next time, and invite all relatives and women's family members to stay for three days, tie colorful mountains and have a feast.They are all musicians and prostitutes from the third courtyard, playing drums and performing operas.Wu Yueniang was also full of pearls and emeralds this day, wearing a red gown with full sleeves, a floral skirt, and a gold belt. She sat in a sedan chair and came to the yamen for a three-day banquet and drank in the back hall.The magistrate's grandma came out to accompany her.
When Yueniang came home, she saw the brocade clusters of flowers on the banquet, and she returned home. She entered the courtyard behind, and saw that there was no one to meet her quietly.Recalling back then, when Ximen Qing was here, the sisters were so lively, and when they came back from the banquet, they all came to meet and talk, and the sisters couldn’t sit on a single bench. Now there was no one, and felt a burst of sadness, so they rushed to Ximen Qing. The coffin, burst into tears.
Li Yanei and Meng Yulou, two talented men and women, like fish like water, are closing the oil bottle cap.Yaner is newly married every day, and stays together in the room, never leaving.Li Yanei looked at the appearance of Yulou, not enough to see, but more than enough, the more he looked at it, the more he loved it.I also saw that I brought two maidservants: one Lanxiang, who can play and sing; one Xiaoluan, fifteen years old.They are all colorful, and their hearts are so happy that they can't enter their feet, but they don't pay attention, someone else has their idea.
Chen Jingji has been yelling for three days and making troubles for five days since the elder sister Ximen came to the house. While scolding the elder sister, he asked his mother, Mrs. Zhang, for capital to do business.His uncle, Zhang Tuanlian, came to ask Zhang to borrow 50 taels of silver to resume his job. He got drunk and yelled at Uncle Zhang's door.Uncle Zhang couldn't bear it, so he borrowed money from other places, became a steward, and returned the money to him.Mrs. Zhang knew that after suffering a heavy blow, she was sick and bedridden. She took medicine all day long and asked a doctor for treatment.His son was beaten up by his son, but he exchanged 200 taels of silver to deliver to him, and asked Chen Ding to open two houses at the front of the house, open a cloth shop, and do business.This Chen Jingji made friends with Yang Dalang and Lu Erlang, who played pipa, wiped dominoes, played Shuanglu in the shop, and ate night wine.Chen Ding had no choice but to tell Zhang the truth.Mrs. Zhang listened to Chen Ding's words and refused to let her son manage the cloth shop.The economic counter said that Chen Dingran cloth dropped money, and drove Chen Ding and his wife out to live outside, but hired Yang Dalang as a clerk, and asked his mother for 500 taels of silver to sell cloth in Linqing.
This Yang Dalang's name is Yang Guangyan, nicknamed Tiejiao, and he specializes in selling wind and rain, setting up lies and hollowing out the sky, just to exploit others' capital.When he got home, he packed his luggage, packed some gold-embedded elm coins in his bottomless bag, took a black-heart carved bow, rode a white-eyed dragon horse, and followed the economy from home.
Linqing Gate is a bustling and bustling place for large docks, where merchants come and go, where boats gather, and where vehicles converge. There are 32 Hualiu Lanes and 72 orchestra buildings.This economy is young and young. The last time I came here to secure a ship, I had already tasted the sweetness of prosperity. Now I am led by this iron-nailed Yang Dalang to visit prostitution houses, visit hotels, sleep every day, and hang out all night long. Not many goods were sold, and a lot of money was spent.Because I was walking in a prostitution building, I met a fan named Feng Jinbao, who was born romantic and pretty, with both sex and art, only in his twenties, and his financial mind was at a loss, and he married a bustard for five taels of silver and house money, and made a series of marriages. She rested for several nights.Yang Dalang babbled at the side, saying that the economy spent 100 taels of silver to marry Lai's family.
When Mrs. Zhang saw that her son didn't sell much goods, she married a prostitute with her capital and came home.The economy can't help buying coffins for burial, and doing seven chanting scriptures.Park it for seventeen years, send it out, and bury it together in the tombs of the ancestors.His uncle Zhang Tuanlian looked at his mother's face, and he didn't have the same knowledge as him.The economy has three main rooms for his wife, the middle one is for the spiritual place, the other two rooms are packed with Feng Jinbao, and the eldest sister lives in the side room.He also bought a girl, Chong Xi'er, to serve Feng Jinbao.Yang Dalang told Yang Dalang to open the shop in front of the door.The family buys a lot of wine and meat to eat with prostitutes, and only sleeps with Jinbao every day, leaving the eldest sister alone.
One day, I heard that Meng Yulou married Li Yanei and brought many things with her.The magistrate of Li County has completed his term of office for three years. Not long ago, he was promoted to Yanzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province.This Chen Jingji was not right-minded. He remembered the Yulou hairpin he picked up in the garden in the past. He wanted to use this hairpin as a witness to catch up with Yanzhou. He only said that Yulou had an affair with him and gave him the hairpin. He married Li Yanei with many other things. These things were gold and silver boxes and cages left by Yang Jian in the past, and they should have no official property.Ji Ji thought: "Then Li Tong judged a civil servant with a lot of soup, and he was not afraid to teach his son to give his wife to me with both hands when he heard this sound. Very useful."
On this day, Chen Jingji sorted out his mother's box, found 1000 taels of gold and silver, and left 100 taels of gold and silver for daily use at Jinbao's home. Regardless of Gu Dajie, he called Chen Dingfu in to look after the house, and sold scraps of cloth at the shop in front of the door.He and Yang Dalang took his family, Chen An, with 900 taels of silver, set off from the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, went to Huzhou to sell half a boat of silk and silk, came to the wharf of Pujiangkou in Qingjiang, moored the boat, and threw it in a shop owner Chen An. In the second store.During the drinking, I said to Yang Dalang: "Man, you will take care of the goods on the ship for a while, and stay in Erlang's store for a few days. Chen An and I will take some personnel gifts and go to Yanzhou Mansion, Zhejiang Province to see my sister marry in the mansion, no more than five Day, at least three days."
Yang Dalang said: "Brother, go and just go! Brother is willing to wait in the store, and brother will get up together when the day comes."
Chen Jingji and Chen An brought silver and personnel gifts, and set off early the next morning.Take the road to Yanzhoufu.Enter the city, throw it in the temple and settle down.After inquiring about Li Tongpan's residence, he dared not be negligent, so he chose neat clothes and hats, bright eyes, and taught Chen An to put the gift, and came to the front of Li Tongpan's mansion, bowed to the doorman and said: "Please report, say that I am Tongpan Uncle Meng came to visit the relatives of the newly married wife in the yamen of Father Li."
After hearing this, the gatekeeper immediately reported to go in.Ya Nei was reading in the study room, when he heard that Yulou's brother had come, he ordered the left and right to bring in the presents first, and while he was busy adjusting his clothes, he said, "Please."
Chen Jingji enters the government office.Li Yanei greeted them, narrated the etiquette, and divided the guests and hosts to sit down.
Yamen said: "When we were married the day before yesterday, why didn't you see your second uncle?"
Ji Ji said: "Because I sell goods in Sichuan and Guangxi, I will only come back in a year. I don't know that my sister married into the family, and I have lost closeness. Today, I would like to prepare a small gift and come to see my sister."
The yamen said: "I never knew, I'm rude, forgive me, forgive me."
After a while, the tea soup is over.The yamen ordered the left and right to send the gift cards and gifts inside: "Tell your mother, the second uncle is here."
Yulou was sitting in the room, and when she heard about this, she thought to herself: "If I haven't been home for a year or two, is there another Uncle Meng? Could it be that my second elder brother Meng Rui came to visit me from all over the world?" I read the gift post, which read: "Meng Rui, my family member". I was very happy, and I asked Lan Xiang to clean up the back hall while saying hello.
Yulou rejoices, adorns her clothes and waits for her appearance.I saw the yamen let in, and Yulou was watching from the curtain. Where was her brother, but it was brother-in-law Chen. He thought to himself: "What is he doing here? Wait for me to go out and see how he talks?" So he dressed up and came out to meet.
Ji Ji said: "I never knew my sister was married here, I never saw it..."
Just talking about this, a door came to invite the yamen, saying that there are guests coming from outside.The yamen ordered Yulou to take care of the second uncle, and then went out.
Seeing that Jiji kowtowed, Yulou hurriedly returned the salute, saying, "Brother-in-law is exempt. What gust of wind brought you here?" After the etiquette, he gave up his seat and asked Lan Xiang to watch the tea.After having tea, we talked some homely things to each other.
In the middle of the conversation, the maid put down the table, put on the wine, and the cups and dishes were piled up on the platform.Yulou poured a glass of wine, handed it to Ji Ji with both hands, and said, "Brother-in-law has traveled a long way and has nothing to spend, please have a glass of water and wine."
The economy took it with his hands, sang it, poured a cup back to Fengyulou, and sat down.Seeing her brother-in-law called him shortly, she thought to herself: "Why doesn't this whore recognize Fan and only calls me brother-in-law? Wait for me to explore her slowly."
At present, after drinking for three rounds, five dishes are added to the food.Chen Jingjiu covered his face, seeing that no one else was in front of him, he threw in a few evil words first: "My brother misses my sister, thirsty for blood, and hot for cool. I think we were at my husband's house when we were together. Playing chess and cards everywhere, sitting together, like oil bottle caps. Who wants to be separated today, you go east and you go west."
Yulou said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is easy to say, since ancient times, the Qing is clear, and the muddy is muddy, and you will see it after a long time."
Ji Ji smiled and took out a pack of fragrant tea for two people from his sleeve, handed it to Yulou, and said, "Sister, if you have feelings, I will pity my brother and eat this fragrant tea from me." After speaking, he quickly knelt down.
Yulou immediately blushed from her ears, blushed, and grabbed the fragrant tea bag on the ground with one hand, and said, "I don't know people's respect! I'm so kind to give you wine to eat, but I got up to tease me." Withdrew the banquet, I'm going to the room.
Ji Ji picked up the fragrant tea and said: "I came to see you with good intentions, but you changed your mind. How dare you say that you married Tongpan's son and ignored me? You were the third concubine in Ximenqing's family back then. Have you had sex with me?" So he took out the gold-headed hairpin, held it in his hand, and said, "Who does this belong to? Since you didn't have an affair with me, why did this hairpin fall into my hand? There is also an inscription on it. The name of Yulou. You colluded with the eldest wife and brought eight boxes of gold, silver, fine nephrite and precious stones from my house. They were all belongings that should not be given to officials by Yang Jian at that time. They were all married to a man. I teach you not to panic. Go to the Bazi Yamen to answer with you!"
Seeing him speak, Yulou held the hairpin she had used on her own head, and said to herself, "I didn't see it in the garden before, why did it fall into the hands of this short-lived man?" Said: "Good brother-in-law, I am teasing you, how can I get annoyed." Seeing that there is no one around, he whispered: "You have a heart, and the slave also has intentions."
Chen Jingji hurriedly put his arms around Yulou, kissed her, put his tongue in her mouth like a snake spit out a letter, and let her smack it, saying: "You call me--kiss-brother-in-law, only you-you- With my-heart."
Yulou said: "Keep quiet, lest someone hear you."
The economy said quietly: I have cured half of the cargo now, and I am waiting in Qingjiangpu.If you are willing to go down to Gu Shi, pretend to be the door in the evening, sneak out, come with me to the boat house, and become their husband and wife, why not?He is a civil official, he is afraid of right and wrong, so he dare not come and arrest you?
Yulou said: "In that case, it's fine. You wait behind the mansion wall tonight. I have a bag of gold and silver, which is soft and soft. I tied it to the wall and picked it up with you. Then I pretended to be a door and came out through the door. I'm with you." Let's go aboard."
The economy was convinced, had a few glasses of wine, and left.
When Li Yanei learned about it, he hurriedly sent him out of the house.Chen An also followed.
Ya Nei came in and asked Yulou: "Where does your brother live? I will go back to pay homage to him tomorrow, and send some trips with him."
Yulou said: "Where is he my brother? He is the son-in-law of Ximen Qing's family." Then he told the truth, and said: "I have made an appointment with him. Tonight until three o'clock, we will be equal at the back wall. We are not good How about taking him down as a thief and getting rid of his future troubles?"
The yamen said: "There is no reason for this guy! Since ancient times, he has no poison and no husband. I didn't go to find him. He came to die." Immediately called the left and right confidantes and fast hands, and ordered to go down and prepare.
In the middle of the night, Chen Jingji really brought Chen An to the back wall of the government office, using the name of coughing.For a long time, only listening to the sound of the jade building inside the wall, a rope was passed over the wall, and a large bag of silver was tied there.How did Chen Jingji know that this was all 200 taels of stolen silver taken by Kunei, and Chen An was just waiting to be taught to take it away. Suddenly, there was a sound of clappers, and four or five men flashed out of the darkness, shouting: "There are thieves!" They tied up Chen Jingji's master and servant, and reported to Li Tong for judgment.The judge ordered: "Send them all to the prison and ask them tomorrow."
Xu Zhifu, the main hall of Yanzhou Prefecture, is a very honest and upright person.When he went up to the hall the next morning, Li Tong took Chen Jingji up and said: "From last night to the third watch, there were two unknown thieves: Chen Jingji and Chen An, who broke open the warehouse door and stole 200 taels of stolen silver. Pass over the wall and get caught, come to see the master."
Prefect Xu ordered to bring it up, but the leader was a handsome young man, and when he asked him, he just kept shouting for grievances.Li Tong's sentence only reminds him to use his punishment.When the board was beaten down, Chen Jingji only scolded: "Who knows that the prostitute Meng San'er has trapped me so far, it's wrong! It's bitter!" After hearing this, the prefect Xu knew that there was a reason for it, so he beat ten boards and stopped drinking. Take it to prison.After leaving the hall, he ordered his confidantes to pretend to be prisoners and lock him up with the economy to sleep at night.
The man asked Ji Ji: "I think my brother is young and not a thief. Why did he fall into this lawsuit today?"
Ji Ji said: "It's hard to say. The villain was originally the son-in-law of Ximenqing in Qinghe County. The newly married woman Meng Shi of Li Tongpan's son is my father-in-law's younger brother. She used to have an affair with me. Now I took my master Yang Jian to send ten A box of gold and silver treasures came to his house. I came here to ask her to ask for it, but she tricked me, trapped me, and took me as a thief. It’s hard to beat me into a trick, and I can’t see the light of day. It’s so hard! "
The magistrate Xu learned of this that night, he was promoted to the court the next day, brought Chen Jingji and Chen An up, took his oral statements, took Zhang Wushi's confession, and ordered them to be released.Li Tongpan wanted to dissuade him from the sidelines, but Xu Zhifu tried his best to say: "I am an official in my government and work with the court. I shouldn't avenge your family's officials and frame ordinary people as thieves. Your son married His father-in-law, Ximen Qing's concubine, Meng Shi, brought many things, such as stolen goods from officials, gold and silver boxes and cages. He is Ximen Qing's son-in-law, and he came to ask for the former things. How do you pretend to be a thief, condemn him, and teach me to replace him Your family contributes? Being an official raises sons and daughters, you have to grow up. If so, how can it be fair?"
Li Tongpan was ashamed and restless, he retreated home and beat and scolded his son. When he was thirty, Li Yan's skin was ripped apart and blood gushed out.It was useless for Mrs. Tongjuan to cry and persuade, so Yulou could only cover her tears and listen at the corner door of the back hall.After the beating, he ordered the yamen: "Send this woman out of the house immediately, and let her remarry at will, so as not to cause trouble, all in my name."
Yamen couldn't bear it in his heart, he just cried and begged in front of his parents: "I would rather beat my son to death in front of my father than my wife."
Li Tongpan locked the yamen in the back hall with iron chains, as long as he was banned.The wife persuaded him in every possible way, but seeing that the judge was stubborn, he said, "You won't allow him to be here, so send him and his wife to the home of their original place." Then Tong judge obeyed his wife's advice and released him from the yamen, with a deadline of three days to leave.Li Yanei packed up his vehicles and went back to his home in Zaoqiang County with Yulou to attack books.
Chen Jingji and Chen An left Yanzhou Mansion and rushed to Qingjiangpu Chen Erdian to look for Yang Dalang.Chen Er told: "He packed up the cargo ship three days ago and got up and went home." Ji Ji still didn't believe it, so he went to the river to search, but he couldn't see the man and the boat, so he was so angry that he cursed: "I'll kill you this day, why don't you wait for me to come?" , got up and went?" At this time, there was no more money around me, so I had to ride on a boat with Chen An, unpack my clothes, beg for food and go home.It's autumn evening, the trees are withered, and the golden wind is shaking, it's very desolate.
Chen Jingji and Chen An arrived home.Chen Ding was at the gate, and when he saw the two of them coming in ragged clothes and dark faces, he was taken aback, and hurried to his home, asking where the cargo ship was.The economy was so angry that I couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, I told all this experience, and said: "Thanks to the magistrate Xu for letting me go, otherwise my life will be in danger. But I was killed by Yang Dalang again today, and my goods were taken away. I don't know where it went."
At present, Chen Jingji first sent Chen Ding to Yang's house to inquire, but his family said that they had not come home yet.Chen Jiji went to ask again, but he was still there, so he walked into the room in a panic.
Feng Jinbao and Elder Sister Ximen have been doing Aiqi since they went out financially until now.The two turned south and north, and talked about the economy.
The elder sister said that Feng Jinbao took the money and transferred it to her bustard, and her bustard came all day long, hiding behind his back, buying wine for meat, and eating in the house.I don't have anything at home, I sleep until noon, I don't buy anything, I just boil us.
Chen Jingji listened, but didn't believe it.
Feng Jinbao said that the elder sister would not move the horizontal grass all day long, and the vertical grass would not move, and she would steal rice in exchange for sesame cakes.And steal the boiled bacon in the room to eat with the girl Yuanxiao.
When Chen Jingji heard this, he believed it, and scolded the eldest sister: "A thief is not a material whore! You are a glutton and a glutton." He beat Yuan Xiao'er and kicked the eldest sister several times.
The eldest sister was in a hurry, and rushed Feng Jinbao'er to bump her head, and scolded: "A whore who loves to support a man! You are against the thief and the bustard, but you are learning your tongue from the man, saying that I steal rice and meat, and the one who commits the night arrests the policeman. What's more! Teach the man to kick me. Let me fight with you whore, what do you want to do with this life!"
Ji Ji said: "What a whore, if you fight her hard, you are not worth her toes." He pulled the eldest sister's hair again, punched, kicked, and hit her with a kidnapper, causing her nose and mouth to bleed , Waking up in half a day.
At night, the economy went to sleep in the prostitute's room, and the elder sister was left in the room below, sobbing and crying.Yuan Xiao'er fell asleep outside.Poor sister Ximen cried until midnight, hanged herself from a beam with a rope, and died at the age of 24.
Until the next morning, the economy still scolded the elder sister for being lazy.Yuan Xiao found out that he had been hanged, and the economy panicked.When Chen Ding met, he was afraid of getting involved, so he hurried to Ximen Qing's house to report to Yueniang.
When Yueniang heard about it, she was so angry that she trembled all over her body. She led her family, servants, maids and daughters-in-law to the Chen family. Hold it, pull it, beat it, and pierce it with an awl.That Jinbao was hiding under the bed, and everyone dragged her out and beat her to death.They smashed the doors, windows, and walls to pieces, and moved back the bed, curtains, and dowry in the room.How dare the economy come forward and say a word.
When you get home, please bring Uncle Wu and Uncle Wu to discuss.The uncle said: "Sister, you can take advantage of our family's death and not be an official. Tomorrow he will have a hard time and come to ask for a cage. People have no long-term concerns, and there must be near-term worries. It's better to disconnect at the official office. Avoid future troubles."
Yueniang said: "Brother, I see it." She immediately wrote the certificate.
The next day, Yueniang met the official in person, came to the county's official hall, and handed in the certificate.The new Huozhi County Juren was born in Juren, and he is upright.Hearing that it is a matter of human life, he was promoted to the hall to accept the case.After reading the certificate, I saw that Wu Yueniang was wearing white, with a filial skirt around her waist, and was the wife of a fifth-rank official. and Feng Jinbao.
Yueniang quickly thanked the county magistrate, appointed Fu Laizhao to serve in the hall, and came out to go home in a sedan chair.
Chen Jingji was busy with the funeral at home, and when he saw his father-in-law come to pick him up, his soul flew into the sky, and he was in a state of mourning.Feng Jinbao had been beaten until his whole body was in pain, and he was sleeping on the bed, and he was so bluffed that he didn't know what was going on.After sending off the public to drink and eat, he was escorted to the county government office and knelt at the bottom of the steps.
Huozhi County was promoted to interrogation, but Chen Jiji insisted that he just hanged himself to death.The master magistrate ordered to take down the left and right sides, and beat him [-] times.He brought up the golden treasure again, swiped it, and knocked it a hundred times.The body was examined the next day, and there were many bruises on the body, and there were rope marks between the necks. It was indeed due to kicking and beatings during his lifetime, and he couldn't bear it, so he hanged himself to death.The county magistrate was furious, took off his economic and gold treasure clothes, and beat ten boards each, and asked Chen Jingji's husband for beating his wife until the deceased was hanged;
Chen Jingji panicked, and the prison wrote a post, telling Chen Ding that he collected 100 taels of silver from the cloth shop, including the eldest sister's original headdress, and secretly sent it to the county magistrate.Huozhi County changed the papers overnight, and only asked him to be forced to die.
Wu Yueniang learned that she knelt down and begged again and again, not to be taken lightly.The county magistrate called Yueniang up and said, "Lady, there are rope marks on your daughter's neck. How do you ask him about the law of beating and killing? Is human favor too biased? You are afraid that he will stalk you later, so I will take him away for you." Just ask him not to come to your door again." He brought Jiji to him and ordered: "I will spare you today, but you must make up your mind and stop stalking Wu's house. If you commit a crime against me again, Absolutely no forgiveness. Immediately buy Ximen’s coffin and bury it, and send a reply for burial, so I can apply for documents to the superior.”
The man was spared, paid the redemption money, returned home, carried the body into the coffin, parked it for seventeen, read scriptures for the funeral, and buried it outside the city.I sat in prison for half a month, spent a lot of silver, the prostitute Jinbao also went, everything in the house was cleaned, and the house was foreclosed.There is nowhere to get angry, only to blame Chen Ding, and drive Chen Ding and his wife out of the house.The house was empty, so I couldn't help but think of Yang Dalang, and wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of the cargo.
The next day, Chen Jingji came to Dalang's house and asked, "Is Yang Dalang at home?"
Yang Dalang has already sold the cargo for silver, and has been out all the time, dodging in all directions.I heard that the economy is in prison, so I came to live at home.At this time, I heard Jiji shouting outside the door, and dared not come out, but called his brother Yang Erfeng to come out.
This Yang Erfeng is a rascal, did he have something good to do when he came out?
From then on, Chen Jingji wandered around, until he was at the end of his life, and was rescued by Chunmei Xun and entered the garrison mansion, changing his fortune.
(End of this chapter)
Li Gongbi, the son of Lizhi County, has been a widower for a long time, and he has been asking the matchmaker to marry him everywhere, to no avail.Seeing Wu Yueniang and her party at the Xinghua Village Restaurant on Qingming Day, she fell in love with Meng Yulou, but there was no way to enter, and she didn't know whether to marry or not, and how to behave.When the Xue'e incident happened, the Li Yamen thought that Yueniang would come to pick up the things, but unexpectedly, Yueniang didn't let people come to see the officials, and the Yamen was disappointed.So why don't we discuss with the Lang officials, and let the official matchmaker Tao Mama come to Ximen Qing's house to visit and ask for marriage. She promises that if the marriage is successful, she will be exempted from the county and will be rewarded with five taels of silver.After hearing this, Mother Tao ran away like flying like flying, screaming like chickens and dogs in shock, and came to the door of Ximen Qing's house.
Lai Zhao was standing at the front of the gate, and Mother Tao came forward and said Wanfu, and said, "Just ask the housekeeper, is this Ximen's father's house?"
Lai Zhao said: "Where did you come from? This is Ximen's father's house. My father has passed away, what do you have to say?"
"The housekeeper has to go in and report. I am the official matchmaker of this county. My name is Mama Tao. I was told by Junyu, the little old man in the yamen, that there is a grandma in our house who wants to marry. Please tell me about the marriage."
"You are so unreasonable, old woman! My father has been gone for more than a year, and only two grandmas are widowed and do not marry. As the saying goes, storms and storms do not enter the house of widows. You matchmaker, it doesn't matter if you want to come here It’s a close relationship! You still don’t go away. If you provoke the grandma behind you, you’ll get a good fight.”
Mother Tao smiled and said, "Brother Steward, it is often said that officials are not good when officials are bad, but people are not bad. What do I dare to do if my little father doesn't let me? To marry or not, go in and tell me, so I can talk back."
Laizhao also changed his tone: "Forget it, it's convenient for others, and it's convenient for yourself. You wait for a while and wait for me to go in. There are two grandmas, one has a brother and the other has no brother. I don't know which grandma it is. Want to get married?"
"The little old man in the yamen said that it was the grandma who had some white pockmarks on her face that she saw in the suburbs on Qingming."
Lai Zhao went to the back and told Yueniang: "The county sent an official matchmaker outside."
Yueniang was taken aback: "My family didn't say a single word, so how do outsiders know?"
Lai Zhaodao: "It is said that she met the grandma who had a few white pockmarks on her face in the suburbs on Qingming."
Yueniang stopped talking, and thought to herself: "Could it be that Third Sister Meng is also tempted by the radish in the twelfth lunar month, and suddenly she wants to go forward to marry someone? It's the world's sea water that knows the depth, but only people's hearts can't miss it." So she walked to Yuyu In the building, I sat down and asked: "Sister Meng, I have something to ask you. There is a Baoshan matchmaker outside, who said that the small and medium-sized yamen in the county had seen you on the Qingming day and said that you wanted to move forward. There is really such a thing. talk?"
After hearing Yueniang's question, Yulou's mind, which had not been calm for a few days, turned again.On the outskirts that day, Yulou also saw Li Yanei, who was a good-looking man, flamboyant, and moved his mind: "The man is dead, and there is nothing to do with the slave. Although the aunt has a child, it will grow up tomorrow, and everyone will be happy." Everyone is in pain, so go to his mother. The tree fell without any shade, and the bamboo basket fetched water." Thinking that Yueniang has a filial brother, her heart has changed, not like before, "It's better than before Take a step forward and find the last place where the leaves have fallen back to their roots, but what do you just care about foolishly? It has not delayed the youth of the slave, and failed the youth of the slave.”In the past few days, I have been thinking so much every day, and just now I was in a daze thinking about it.When Yueniang came in and said this, it was the person she was looking for, she was happy and ashamed, but she still said: "Don't listen to people's nonsense, my aunt, I didn't say that." Her face immediately flushed.
Seeing her shy and happy expression, Yueniang knew what she was saying, and said, "Since it's what's on everyone's mind, I don't have much control over it." On the one hand, she called Laizhao, "Please invite that Baoshan." After finishing speaking, she went to the upper room In the Ming room, the coffin of Ximen Qing is enshrined on the front.
Mama Tao came in, paid her respects, and sat down.The little girl Xiuchun poured tea and ate it.
Yueniang then asked, "What's the matter here in Baoshan?"
Tao's mother said: "Little daughter-in-law does not go to the Three Treasures Hall if she has nothing to do. According to the order of the county's main house, I respectfully say that there is a grandma in our house who is going to marry and talk about her marriage."
"My lady got married and never spread the news, how did your yamen know about it?"
"My family's yamen said that on the day of Qingming, I saw this lady in the suburbs. She was tall and tall, with melon seeds and a few white pockmarks on her face. She was this grandma."
Yueniang stopped talking, and led the matchmaker to the Yulou room, and sat down in the open room.
After waiting for half a day, Yulou washed up and came out.
Mother Tao hurriedly got up and said Wanfu, and said: "This is the grandma, she really speaks the truth, she is talented and unparalleled in the world, she can be a decent lady with my father in the yamen. You see, from the beginning to the end, she is very romantic. Incomparable; from head to toe, the wind flows down!"
Yulou said with a smile: "Mom, don't talk nonsense. Let's talk about how old you are in the yamen this year, have you ever married a wife, whether there is anyone in the house, who is the name, where is the township, where is the field, whether there is an official or not. As an official, to be honest, don't lie."
Mother Tao said: "My God, my God! The young daughter-in-law is an official matchmaker in this county, and she can't lie faster than outside matchmakers. I have one sentence to say, and there is no falsehood. My county magistrate's father is over 50 years old, and he only gave birth to the yamen father. One person, this year belongs to the horse, 31 years old, born on the 23rd day of the first lunar month; now he is a senior in the Imperial College, and soon he will be a scholar and a Jinshi; he has a lot of articles, is skilled in bowing and horses, and knows all kinds of scholars. He passed away. Years and years, I want to find a woman to head the house, but I can't find a married couple in the same place. I respectfully come to the house to talk about this marriage. If it succeeds, the little daughter-in-law will not be forced to work in the county, and there will be a big reward. If we do this marriage in the house , Father said, the poor front door, land, money and food in the tomb, one case will be exempted; if someone bullies, name them, bring them to the county, and beat them at will."
Yulou asked again: "Do you have any children in the yamen? Where is the origin? I'm afraid that when the term of office is full for a while, thousands of mountains and rivers will take them away, and all the slaves are here. Do you want to go with him?"
Mother Tao said: "There are no children and women around my father in the yamen, so it's not a single path. The origin is from our family in Zaoqiang County, Zhending Prefecture, Beijing. It is not six or seven hundred miles away from the Yellow River. His home is full of fields. There are groups of mules and horses, countless people, and the archway of the horses. They are all written in plain text, and the sacred decree is above. Hua Guan, what's wrong with taking a seven-scented chariot as a wife and wife?"
Meng Yulou was told by Mama Tao, she spoke with great sincerity, and at the same time called Lan Xiang: "Put the table, let's watch tea, snacks and Baoshan to eat." Not to mention tea and snacks, it's not bad if you don't look down.The Yulou said again: "Baoshan, don't blame me for interrogating you. You matchmakers lie a lot. At the beginning, you told a lot of hype, and there were golden lotuses in the ground. In the middle, there is nothing. The slave is also cannibalistic."
Mother Tao said: "Good grandma, as long as one compares with the other, it's good to be clear and muddy, and it's good to be tired of the bad. The little daughter-in-law doesn't lie, she only acts as a matchmaker according to her duty, and accomplishes good things for others. Grandma agrees, beg Give me a wedding post, so I can talk back to my little daddy."
Yulou took a piece of bright red satin and asked Fu's clerk in the shop in Dai'an to write the date of birth.
Wu Yueniang then said: "You were the matchmaker that Mrs. Xue said at the beginning, but now you have asked the young man to call Mrs. Xue to come. It is reasonable for the two of you to take a post together to talk about this marriage."
The jade building is in compliance, and Dai'er is called to go.
Not long after, Mrs. Xue came and saw Tao's mother saying good luck.When you see you, you go out of Ximen Qing's house with the post, and go back to the county to talk in the yamen.One is the Iceman here, and the other is that Baoshan, with 48 teeth in two mouths.
Mother Tao asked Mrs. Xue on the way, "Are you the original matchmaker for this lady?"
"Of course, it is." Mrs. Xue replied.
Mother Tao asked again: "Who is the daughter of someone who married here before? Married here is a daughter, is it a remarried son?"
Mrs. Xue told the truth.
Tao's mother looked at the wedding post and said, "Female life is 37 years old, born on November 27th." She said, "I'm afraid the yamen thinks the lady is older. What's wrong? He's only 31 years old today. Six years old."
Mrs. Xue said: "This is so difficult! Let's take this wedding invitation and give it to a passing gentleman to see if his life will hinder it. If it's not right, let's keep him from telling him how old he is, and we won't be fooled."
The two of them looked around as they walked, but they didn't see a gentleman passing by the castanets, but they saw a hexagram four far away in the south of the road, with two lines of big characters hanging on the green cloth curtain: "Ziping judges high and low, iron pen judges honor Dry; someone comes to fortune-telling, and the blunt words are not merciful." There is a table under the tent, and there is a gentleman who can write and calculate quickly.The two matchmakers came forward and said good luck.The gentleman sat down.
Mrs. Xue said: "There is a woman's life, Mr. Tired counts it." Xiang took out three points of life gold from his sleeve and said, "Don't underestimate it. Mister has the right to accept it. I never brought more money when I passed by."
The gentleman said: "Does this mean marriage? Say the horoscope!"
Mother Tao handed him a wedding post.
The gentleman looked at it, pinched his fingers to find the pattern, shook the operator, and said: "This girl is 37 years old, born on the 27th of November, the month of Jiazi, the day of Xinmao, and the time of Gengzi. The rules are based on the pattern of seal and ribbon. Women's fate is retrograde, and now Bingshen is in luck. Binghe Xinsheng, who is fortunate to have authority in the future, is in charge of the life of the wife of Zhengtang. Among the four powers, there are many husband stars. Definitely see him. Sure enough, have you seen it before?"
Mrs. Xue said: "I have overcome the two masters."
The gentleman said: "If you have seen it, you will get a horse in the future."
Mrs. Xue asked, "Will she have children in the future?"
The gentleman said: "The child is early, and he was hit until the age of 41 before he had a son to see him off. Life is good fortune, wealth and glory are incomparable." He took a pen and wrote down eight sentences of fate, and read:
When the flowers are in full bloom and the fruit is strange, I am delighted to meet a good gentleman and set up Fengchi.
The charming posture does not lose Jiangmei's attitude, three red and two thrushes.
Join hands to invite each other to ascend the Jade Palace, holding the golden goblet alone in shame.
I will watch the horse's head rise to the sun, but the Yin skin can be removed at will.
Mrs. Xue then asked: "Sir, what is the meaning of 'seeing the day when the horse's head rises, and taking off the skin'? We don't understand these two sentences."
The gentleman said: "The head of the horse, this lady is now married to a husband who belongs to the horse. She is a noble star and enjoys the glory. Yinpi is a husband who has overcome, and belongs to the tiger. Although she is loved by Pang, it is just a partial house. All the way to fame and fame, until the age of 68, there is a son, who dies, and the husband and wife grow old together."
The two matchmakers said: "It turns out that the one who is married now is a horse. I'm afraid I'm a few years older and I can't match it. I beg my husband to be two years younger."
The gentleman said: "If you want to change it, let's change it to Ding Mao's 34 years old."
Sister-in-law Xue asked, "A 34-year-old is compatible with a horse?"
The gentleman said: "Ding Huo Geng Jin, when the fire meets gold, it is destined to become a great weapon, just right!"
The current age of Kaiyulou is 34.
The two matchmakers bid farewell to their husbands, left the hexagram and went to the county.Ya Nei is waiting for news.The door reports in, calls in the second matchmaker, kneels down and kowtows.
The yamen then asked, "Where is this woman from?"
Mother Tao said: "It's her matchmaker." She said that she told her about the marriage again.Said: "The lady is very talented, but she is older. The little daughter-in-law does not dare to do whatever she wants, and does as the father in the yamen respects. I have asked for a wedding invitation here." As he said, he handed over the wedding invitation with both hands.
Li Yanei looked at it, and it said "34 years old, born on November 27th", and said: "It's just three or two years older, it doesn't matter."
Sister-in-law Xue interrupted and said: "What I saw is that since ancient times, my wife is the second, and the eldest is Jin;
The yamen said: "Since it's good, I've seen it before, so there's no need to see each other again. When Yin and Yang are ordered to choose auspicious days, the tea ceremony is over."
The two matchmakers asked, "When will the daughter-in-law come to serve?"
The yamen said: "It's not too late. You two will come to talk to her tomorrow and go to her house." He also ordered: "Everyone will reward her with a tael of silver for walking."
The two matchmakers were overjoyed, sleeved their money and went out.
Seeing that the marriage has been completed, Li Yanei was overjoyed, so he called the Lang official why not Weilai, the two discussed and told his father Li Zhixian.He also ordered the yin and yang students to choose the eighth day of the fourth month to salute, and on the fifteenth day when the auspicious day was good, they were allowed to marry.Immediately cash out the silver and entrust He Buwei and Xiao Zhangxian to comprador tea and red wine gifts.
The two matchmakers discussed the date the next day, and went to Ximen Qing's house to return Yueniang and Yulou's words.On the eighth day of April, the county prepared sixteen plates of soup, fruit and tea cakes, a pair of gold silk crowns, a pair of gold-headed noodles, an agate belt, a pair of seven things, gold bracelets and silver chains, and two scarlet pieces. Gongjin robes, four sets of colorful clothes, 30 taels of gift money, and the rest of the cloth, silk and cotton, totaling about [-] liters.Two matchmakers followed, why didn't the gallery official Wei Yadan, and sent it to Ximen Qing's house for tea.
On the [-]th day, the county dispatched a lot of fast-handed idlers to move the dowry boxes and cages of the Yulou bed curtains.Yueniang watched, and handed over all the things in her room to her.On the day of Ximen Qing's birthday, she accompanied the eldest sister with an eight-step painted bed in Yulou, and Yueniang accompanied her with the mother-of-pearl bed in the Golden Lotus Room.Yulou taught Lanxiang to go with her, leaving Xiaoluan and Yueniang to watch her brother.Yueniang refused, and said: "Girl in your room, how can I keep you? The left and right brothers have Zhongqiuer, Xiuchun and Naizi, and that's enough." Yulou only left a pair of silver Huihui pots, with My brother is playing with his son, making a souvenir, and taking the rest with him.
In the evening, a big sedan chair for four people, four pairs of red gauze and iron falling lanterns, and eight Zaoli followed to marry Meng Yulou.Yulou wears a gold beam crown, a head full of pearls and emeralds, beard beads, a red sleeved gown, a gold inlaid agate belt, seven things of the pendant, and a willow-yellow hundred-flower skirt. .
Yueniang said: "Sister Meng, you are so ruthless! You have left me alone, who will be my companion?" The two cried together for a while.
Then everyone in the family sent Yulou out of the gate.The matchmaker put on the red Luopin gold hijab for her and taught her to hold the golden blessing bottle.Yueniang was a widow and couldn't go out, so she invited Aunt Meng to see her off and went to the magistrate's office.There was another commotion, and people all over the street came to see, point out and discuss, saying good things and saying bad things.
Aunt Meng sent her relatives to the county government office, laid out the bed curtains, and stayed at the banquet to come home.Li Yanei called Sister-in-law Xue and Mother Tao to him, and sent them out for five taels of silver each, and a section of bonus money.At the end of the day, the two got married, enjoying the joy of fish and water, and the joy of flying.
On the next day, Wu Yueniang delivered tea and finished the meal.Miss Yang is dead, and Meng Dajin, Erjinzi, and Aunt Meng all sent tea to the county.Then Li Yameni will write back next time, and invite all relatives and women's family members to stay for three days, tie colorful mountains and have a feast.They are all musicians and prostitutes from the third courtyard, playing drums and performing operas.Wu Yueniang was also full of pearls and emeralds this day, wearing a red gown with full sleeves, a floral skirt, and a gold belt. She sat in a sedan chair and came to the yamen for a three-day banquet and drank in the back hall.The magistrate's grandma came out to accompany her.
When Yueniang came home, she saw the brocade clusters of flowers on the banquet, and she returned home. She entered the courtyard behind, and saw that there was no one to meet her quietly.Recalling back then, when Ximen Qing was here, the sisters were so lively, and when they came back from the banquet, they all came to meet and talk, and the sisters couldn’t sit on a single bench. Now there was no one, and felt a burst of sadness, so they rushed to Ximen Qing. The coffin, burst into tears.
Li Yanei and Meng Yulou, two talented men and women, like fish like water, are closing the oil bottle cap.Yaner is newly married every day, and stays together in the room, never leaving.Li Yanei looked at the appearance of Yulou, not enough to see, but more than enough, the more he looked at it, the more he loved it.I also saw that I brought two maidservants: one Lanxiang, who can play and sing; one Xiaoluan, fifteen years old.They are all colorful, and their hearts are so happy that they can't enter their feet, but they don't pay attention, someone else has their idea.
Chen Jingji has been yelling for three days and making troubles for five days since the elder sister Ximen came to the house. While scolding the elder sister, he asked his mother, Mrs. Zhang, for capital to do business.His uncle, Zhang Tuanlian, came to ask Zhang to borrow 50 taels of silver to resume his job. He got drunk and yelled at Uncle Zhang's door.Uncle Zhang couldn't bear it, so he borrowed money from other places, became a steward, and returned the money to him.Mrs. Zhang knew that after suffering a heavy blow, she was sick and bedridden. She took medicine all day long and asked a doctor for treatment.His son was beaten up by his son, but he exchanged 200 taels of silver to deliver to him, and asked Chen Ding to open two houses at the front of the house, open a cloth shop, and do business.This Chen Jingji made friends with Yang Dalang and Lu Erlang, who played pipa, wiped dominoes, played Shuanglu in the shop, and ate night wine.Chen Ding had no choice but to tell Zhang the truth.Mrs. Zhang listened to Chen Ding's words and refused to let her son manage the cloth shop.The economic counter said that Chen Dingran cloth dropped money, and drove Chen Ding and his wife out to live outside, but hired Yang Dalang as a clerk, and asked his mother for 500 taels of silver to sell cloth in Linqing.
This Yang Dalang's name is Yang Guangyan, nicknamed Tiejiao, and he specializes in selling wind and rain, setting up lies and hollowing out the sky, just to exploit others' capital.When he got home, he packed his luggage, packed some gold-embedded elm coins in his bottomless bag, took a black-heart carved bow, rode a white-eyed dragon horse, and followed the economy from home.
Linqing Gate is a bustling and bustling place for large docks, where merchants come and go, where boats gather, and where vehicles converge. There are 32 Hualiu Lanes and 72 orchestra buildings.This economy is young and young. The last time I came here to secure a ship, I had already tasted the sweetness of prosperity. Now I am led by this iron-nailed Yang Dalang to visit prostitution houses, visit hotels, sleep every day, and hang out all night long. Not many goods were sold, and a lot of money was spent.Because I was walking in a prostitution building, I met a fan named Feng Jinbao, who was born romantic and pretty, with both sex and art, only in his twenties, and his financial mind was at a loss, and he married a bustard for five taels of silver and house money, and made a series of marriages. She rested for several nights.Yang Dalang babbled at the side, saying that the economy spent 100 taels of silver to marry Lai's family.
When Mrs. Zhang saw that her son didn't sell much goods, she married a prostitute with her capital and came home.The economy can't help buying coffins for burial, and doing seven chanting scriptures.Park it for seventeen years, send it out, and bury it together in the tombs of the ancestors.His uncle Zhang Tuanlian looked at his mother's face, and he didn't have the same knowledge as him.The economy has three main rooms for his wife, the middle one is for the spiritual place, the other two rooms are packed with Feng Jinbao, and the eldest sister lives in the side room.He also bought a girl, Chong Xi'er, to serve Feng Jinbao.Yang Dalang told Yang Dalang to open the shop in front of the door.The family buys a lot of wine and meat to eat with prostitutes, and only sleeps with Jinbao every day, leaving the eldest sister alone.
One day, I heard that Meng Yulou married Li Yanei and brought many things with her.The magistrate of Li County has completed his term of office for three years. Not long ago, he was promoted to Yanzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province.This Chen Jingji was not right-minded. He remembered the Yulou hairpin he picked up in the garden in the past. He wanted to use this hairpin as a witness to catch up with Yanzhou. He only said that Yulou had an affair with him and gave him the hairpin. He married Li Yanei with many other things. These things were gold and silver boxes and cages left by Yang Jian in the past, and they should have no official property.Ji Ji thought: "Then Li Tong judged a civil servant with a lot of soup, and he was not afraid to teach his son to give his wife to me with both hands when he heard this sound. Very useful."
On this day, Chen Jingji sorted out his mother's box, found 1000 taels of gold and silver, and left 100 taels of gold and silver for daily use at Jinbao's home. Regardless of Gu Dajie, he called Chen Dingfu in to look after the house, and sold scraps of cloth at the shop in front of the door.He and Yang Dalang took his family, Chen An, with 900 taels of silver, set off from the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, went to Huzhou to sell half a boat of silk and silk, came to the wharf of Pujiangkou in Qingjiang, moored the boat, and threw it in a shop owner Chen An. In the second store.During the drinking, I said to Yang Dalang: "Man, you will take care of the goods on the ship for a while, and stay in Erlang's store for a few days. Chen An and I will take some personnel gifts and go to Yanzhou Mansion, Zhejiang Province to see my sister marry in the mansion, no more than five Day, at least three days."
Yang Dalang said: "Brother, go and just go! Brother is willing to wait in the store, and brother will get up together when the day comes."
Chen Jingji and Chen An brought silver and personnel gifts, and set off early the next morning.Take the road to Yanzhoufu.Enter the city, throw it in the temple and settle down.After inquiring about Li Tongpan's residence, he dared not be negligent, so he chose neat clothes and hats, bright eyes, and taught Chen An to put the gift, and came to the front of Li Tongpan's mansion, bowed to the doorman and said: "Please report, say that I am Tongpan Uncle Meng came to visit the relatives of the newly married wife in the yamen of Father Li."
After hearing this, the gatekeeper immediately reported to go in.Ya Nei was reading in the study room, when he heard that Yulou's brother had come, he ordered the left and right to bring in the presents first, and while he was busy adjusting his clothes, he said, "Please."
Chen Jingji enters the government office.Li Yanei greeted them, narrated the etiquette, and divided the guests and hosts to sit down.
Yamen said: "When we were married the day before yesterday, why didn't you see your second uncle?"
Ji Ji said: "Because I sell goods in Sichuan and Guangxi, I will only come back in a year. I don't know that my sister married into the family, and I have lost closeness. Today, I would like to prepare a small gift and come to see my sister."
The yamen said: "I never knew, I'm rude, forgive me, forgive me."
After a while, the tea soup is over.The yamen ordered the left and right to send the gift cards and gifts inside: "Tell your mother, the second uncle is here."
Yulou was sitting in the room, and when she heard about this, she thought to herself: "If I haven't been home for a year or two, is there another Uncle Meng? Could it be that my second elder brother Meng Rui came to visit me from all over the world?" I read the gift post, which read: "Meng Rui, my family member". I was very happy, and I asked Lan Xiang to clean up the back hall while saying hello.
Yulou rejoices, adorns her clothes and waits for her appearance.I saw the yamen let in, and Yulou was watching from the curtain. Where was her brother, but it was brother-in-law Chen. He thought to himself: "What is he doing here? Wait for me to go out and see how he talks?" So he dressed up and came out to meet.
Ji Ji said: "I never knew my sister was married here, I never saw it..."
Just talking about this, a door came to invite the yamen, saying that there are guests coming from outside.The yamen ordered Yulou to take care of the second uncle, and then went out.
Seeing that Jiji kowtowed, Yulou hurriedly returned the salute, saying, "Brother-in-law is exempt. What gust of wind brought you here?" After the etiquette, he gave up his seat and asked Lan Xiang to watch the tea.After having tea, we talked some homely things to each other.
In the middle of the conversation, the maid put down the table, put on the wine, and the cups and dishes were piled up on the platform.Yulou poured a glass of wine, handed it to Ji Ji with both hands, and said, "Brother-in-law has traveled a long way and has nothing to spend, please have a glass of water and wine."
The economy took it with his hands, sang it, poured a cup back to Fengyulou, and sat down.Seeing her brother-in-law called him shortly, she thought to herself: "Why doesn't this whore recognize Fan and only calls me brother-in-law? Wait for me to explore her slowly."
At present, after drinking for three rounds, five dishes are added to the food.Chen Jingjiu covered his face, seeing that no one else was in front of him, he threw in a few evil words first: "My brother misses my sister, thirsty for blood, and hot for cool. I think we were at my husband's house when we were together. Playing chess and cards everywhere, sitting together, like oil bottle caps. Who wants to be separated today, you go east and you go west."
Yulou said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is easy to say, since ancient times, the Qing is clear, and the muddy is muddy, and you will see it after a long time."
Ji Ji smiled and took out a pack of fragrant tea for two people from his sleeve, handed it to Yulou, and said, "Sister, if you have feelings, I will pity my brother and eat this fragrant tea from me." After speaking, he quickly knelt down.
Yulou immediately blushed from her ears, blushed, and grabbed the fragrant tea bag on the ground with one hand, and said, "I don't know people's respect! I'm so kind to give you wine to eat, but I got up to tease me." Withdrew the banquet, I'm going to the room.
Ji Ji picked up the fragrant tea and said: "I came to see you with good intentions, but you changed your mind. How dare you say that you married Tongpan's son and ignored me? You were the third concubine in Ximenqing's family back then. Have you had sex with me?" So he took out the gold-headed hairpin, held it in his hand, and said, "Who does this belong to? Since you didn't have an affair with me, why did this hairpin fall into my hand? There is also an inscription on it. The name of Yulou. You colluded with the eldest wife and brought eight boxes of gold, silver, fine nephrite and precious stones from my house. They were all belongings that should not be given to officials by Yang Jian at that time. They were all married to a man. I teach you not to panic. Go to the Bazi Yamen to answer with you!"
Seeing him speak, Yulou held the hairpin she had used on her own head, and said to herself, "I didn't see it in the garden before, why did it fall into the hands of this short-lived man?" Said: "Good brother-in-law, I am teasing you, how can I get annoyed." Seeing that there is no one around, he whispered: "You have a heart, and the slave also has intentions."
Chen Jingji hurriedly put his arms around Yulou, kissed her, put his tongue in her mouth like a snake spit out a letter, and let her smack it, saying: "You call me--kiss-brother-in-law, only you-you- With my-heart."
Yulou said: "Keep quiet, lest someone hear you."
The economy said quietly: I have cured half of the cargo now, and I am waiting in Qingjiangpu.If you are willing to go down to Gu Shi, pretend to be the door in the evening, sneak out, come with me to the boat house, and become their husband and wife, why not?He is a civil official, he is afraid of right and wrong, so he dare not come and arrest you?
Yulou said: "In that case, it's fine. You wait behind the mansion wall tonight. I have a bag of gold and silver, which is soft and soft. I tied it to the wall and picked it up with you. Then I pretended to be a door and came out through the door. I'm with you." Let's go aboard."
The economy was convinced, had a few glasses of wine, and left.
When Li Yanei learned about it, he hurriedly sent him out of the house.Chen An also followed.
Ya Nei came in and asked Yulou: "Where does your brother live? I will go back to pay homage to him tomorrow, and send some trips with him."
Yulou said: "Where is he my brother? He is the son-in-law of Ximen Qing's family." Then he told the truth, and said: "I have made an appointment with him. Tonight until three o'clock, we will be equal at the back wall. We are not good How about taking him down as a thief and getting rid of his future troubles?"
The yamen said: "There is no reason for this guy! Since ancient times, he has no poison and no husband. I didn't go to find him. He came to die." Immediately called the left and right confidantes and fast hands, and ordered to go down and prepare.
In the middle of the night, Chen Jingji really brought Chen An to the back wall of the government office, using the name of coughing.For a long time, only listening to the sound of the jade building inside the wall, a rope was passed over the wall, and a large bag of silver was tied there.How did Chen Jingji know that this was all 200 taels of stolen silver taken by Kunei, and Chen An was just waiting to be taught to take it away. Suddenly, there was a sound of clappers, and four or five men flashed out of the darkness, shouting: "There are thieves!" They tied up Chen Jingji's master and servant, and reported to Li Tong for judgment.The judge ordered: "Send them all to the prison and ask them tomorrow."
Xu Zhifu, the main hall of Yanzhou Prefecture, is a very honest and upright person.When he went up to the hall the next morning, Li Tong took Chen Jingji up and said: "From last night to the third watch, there were two unknown thieves: Chen Jingji and Chen An, who broke open the warehouse door and stole 200 taels of stolen silver. Pass over the wall and get caught, come to see the master."
Prefect Xu ordered to bring it up, but the leader was a handsome young man, and when he asked him, he just kept shouting for grievances.Li Tong's sentence only reminds him to use his punishment.When the board was beaten down, Chen Jingji only scolded: "Who knows that the prostitute Meng San'er has trapped me so far, it's wrong! It's bitter!" After hearing this, the prefect Xu knew that there was a reason for it, so he beat ten boards and stopped drinking. Take it to prison.After leaving the hall, he ordered his confidantes to pretend to be prisoners and lock him up with the economy to sleep at night.
The man asked Ji Ji: "I think my brother is young and not a thief. Why did he fall into this lawsuit today?"
Ji Ji said: "It's hard to say. The villain was originally the son-in-law of Ximenqing in Qinghe County. The newly married woman Meng Shi of Li Tongpan's son is my father-in-law's younger brother. She used to have an affair with me. Now I took my master Yang Jian to send ten A box of gold and silver treasures came to his house. I came here to ask her to ask for it, but she tricked me, trapped me, and took me as a thief. It’s hard to beat me into a trick, and I can’t see the light of day. It’s so hard! "
The magistrate Xu learned of this that night, he was promoted to the court the next day, brought Chen Jingji and Chen An up, took his oral statements, took Zhang Wushi's confession, and ordered them to be released.Li Tongpan wanted to dissuade him from the sidelines, but Xu Zhifu tried his best to say: "I am an official in my government and work with the court. I shouldn't avenge your family's officials and frame ordinary people as thieves. Your son married His father-in-law, Ximen Qing's concubine, Meng Shi, brought many things, such as stolen goods from officials, gold and silver boxes and cages. He is Ximen Qing's son-in-law, and he came to ask for the former things. How do you pretend to be a thief, condemn him, and teach me to replace him Your family contributes? Being an official raises sons and daughters, you have to grow up. If so, how can it be fair?"
Li Tongpan was ashamed and restless, he retreated home and beat and scolded his son. When he was thirty, Li Yan's skin was ripped apart and blood gushed out.It was useless for Mrs. Tongjuan to cry and persuade, so Yulou could only cover her tears and listen at the corner door of the back hall.After the beating, he ordered the yamen: "Send this woman out of the house immediately, and let her remarry at will, so as not to cause trouble, all in my name."
Yamen couldn't bear it in his heart, he just cried and begged in front of his parents: "I would rather beat my son to death in front of my father than my wife."
Li Tongpan locked the yamen in the back hall with iron chains, as long as he was banned.The wife persuaded him in every possible way, but seeing that the judge was stubborn, he said, "You won't allow him to be here, so send him and his wife to the home of their original place." Then Tong judge obeyed his wife's advice and released him from the yamen, with a deadline of three days to leave.Li Yanei packed up his vehicles and went back to his home in Zaoqiang County with Yulou to attack books.
Chen Jingji and Chen An left Yanzhou Mansion and rushed to Qingjiangpu Chen Erdian to look for Yang Dalang.Chen Er told: "He packed up the cargo ship three days ago and got up and went home." Ji Ji still didn't believe it, so he went to the river to search, but he couldn't see the man and the boat, so he was so angry that he cursed: "I'll kill you this day, why don't you wait for me to come?" , got up and went?" At this time, there was no more money around me, so I had to ride on a boat with Chen An, unpack my clothes, beg for food and go home.It's autumn evening, the trees are withered, and the golden wind is shaking, it's very desolate.
Chen Jingji and Chen An arrived home.Chen Ding was at the gate, and when he saw the two of them coming in ragged clothes and dark faces, he was taken aback, and hurried to his home, asking where the cargo ship was.The economy was so angry that I couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, I told all this experience, and said: "Thanks to the magistrate Xu for letting me go, otherwise my life will be in danger. But I was killed by Yang Dalang again today, and my goods were taken away. I don't know where it went."
At present, Chen Jingji first sent Chen Ding to Yang's house to inquire, but his family said that they had not come home yet.Chen Jiji went to ask again, but he was still there, so he walked into the room in a panic.
Feng Jinbao and Elder Sister Ximen have been doing Aiqi since they went out financially until now.The two turned south and north, and talked about the economy.
The elder sister said that Feng Jinbao took the money and transferred it to her bustard, and her bustard came all day long, hiding behind his back, buying wine for meat, and eating in the house.I don't have anything at home, I sleep until noon, I don't buy anything, I just boil us.
Chen Jingji listened, but didn't believe it.
Feng Jinbao said that the elder sister would not move the horizontal grass all day long, and the vertical grass would not move, and she would steal rice in exchange for sesame cakes.And steal the boiled bacon in the room to eat with the girl Yuanxiao.
When Chen Jingji heard this, he believed it, and scolded the eldest sister: "A thief is not a material whore! You are a glutton and a glutton." He beat Yuan Xiao'er and kicked the eldest sister several times.
The eldest sister was in a hurry, and rushed Feng Jinbao'er to bump her head, and scolded: "A whore who loves to support a man! You are against the thief and the bustard, but you are learning your tongue from the man, saying that I steal rice and meat, and the one who commits the night arrests the policeman. What's more! Teach the man to kick me. Let me fight with you whore, what do you want to do with this life!"
Ji Ji said: "What a whore, if you fight her hard, you are not worth her toes." He pulled the eldest sister's hair again, punched, kicked, and hit her with a kidnapper, causing her nose and mouth to bleed , Waking up in half a day.
At night, the economy went to sleep in the prostitute's room, and the elder sister was left in the room below, sobbing and crying.Yuan Xiao'er fell asleep outside.Poor sister Ximen cried until midnight, hanged herself from a beam with a rope, and died at the age of 24.
Until the next morning, the economy still scolded the elder sister for being lazy.Yuan Xiao found out that he had been hanged, and the economy panicked.When Chen Ding met, he was afraid of getting involved, so he hurried to Ximen Qing's house to report to Yueniang.
When Yueniang heard about it, she was so angry that she trembled all over her body. She led her family, servants, maids and daughters-in-law to the Chen family. Hold it, pull it, beat it, and pierce it with an awl.That Jinbao was hiding under the bed, and everyone dragged her out and beat her to death.They smashed the doors, windows, and walls to pieces, and moved back the bed, curtains, and dowry in the room.How dare the economy come forward and say a word.
When you get home, please bring Uncle Wu and Uncle Wu to discuss.The uncle said: "Sister, you can take advantage of our family's death and not be an official. Tomorrow he will have a hard time and come to ask for a cage. People have no long-term concerns, and there must be near-term worries. It's better to disconnect at the official office. Avoid future troubles."
Yueniang said: "Brother, I see it." She immediately wrote the certificate.
The next day, Yueniang met the official in person, came to the county's official hall, and handed in the certificate.The new Huozhi County Juren was born in Juren, and he is upright.Hearing that it is a matter of human life, he was promoted to the hall to accept the case.After reading the certificate, I saw that Wu Yueniang was wearing white, with a filial skirt around her waist, and was the wife of a fifth-rank official. and Feng Jinbao.
Yueniang quickly thanked the county magistrate, appointed Fu Laizhao to serve in the hall, and came out to go home in a sedan chair.
Chen Jingji was busy with the funeral at home, and when he saw his father-in-law come to pick him up, his soul flew into the sky, and he was in a state of mourning.Feng Jinbao had been beaten until his whole body was in pain, and he was sleeping on the bed, and he was so bluffed that he didn't know what was going on.After sending off the public to drink and eat, he was escorted to the county government office and knelt at the bottom of the steps.
Huozhi County was promoted to interrogation, but Chen Jiji insisted that he just hanged himself to death.The master magistrate ordered to take down the left and right sides, and beat him [-] times.He brought up the golden treasure again, swiped it, and knocked it a hundred times.The body was examined the next day, and there were many bruises on the body, and there were rope marks between the necks. It was indeed due to kicking and beatings during his lifetime, and he couldn't bear it, so he hanged himself to death.The county magistrate was furious, took off his economic and gold treasure clothes, and beat ten boards each, and asked Chen Jingji's husband for beating his wife until the deceased was hanged;
Chen Jingji panicked, and the prison wrote a post, telling Chen Ding that he collected 100 taels of silver from the cloth shop, including the eldest sister's original headdress, and secretly sent it to the county magistrate.Huozhi County changed the papers overnight, and only asked him to be forced to die.
Wu Yueniang learned that she knelt down and begged again and again, not to be taken lightly.The county magistrate called Yueniang up and said, "Lady, there are rope marks on your daughter's neck. How do you ask him about the law of beating and killing? Is human favor too biased? You are afraid that he will stalk you later, so I will take him away for you." Just ask him not to come to your door again." He brought Jiji to him and ordered: "I will spare you today, but you must make up your mind and stop stalking Wu's house. If you commit a crime against me again, Absolutely no forgiveness. Immediately buy Ximen’s coffin and bury it, and send a reply for burial, so I can apply for documents to the superior.”
The man was spared, paid the redemption money, returned home, carried the body into the coffin, parked it for seventeen, read scriptures for the funeral, and buried it outside the city.I sat in prison for half a month, spent a lot of silver, the prostitute Jinbao also went, everything in the house was cleaned, and the house was foreclosed.There is nowhere to get angry, only to blame Chen Ding, and drive Chen Ding and his wife out of the house.The house was empty, so I couldn't help but think of Yang Dalang, and wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of the cargo.
The next day, Chen Jingji came to Dalang's house and asked, "Is Yang Dalang at home?"
Yang Dalang has already sold the cargo for silver, and has been out all the time, dodging in all directions.I heard that the economy is in prison, so I came to live at home.At this time, I heard Jiji shouting outside the door, and dared not come out, but called his brother Yang Erfeng to come out.
This Yang Erfeng is a rascal, did he have something good to do when he came out?
From then on, Chen Jingji wandered around, until he was at the end of his life, and was rescued by Chunmei Xun and entered the garrison mansion, changing his fortune.
