Proud Maid Chunmei
Chapter 19 Another lawsuit
Chapter 19 Another lawsuit
Yang Dalang dispatched his brother Yang Erfeng to send Chen Jingji away.
This Yang Erfeng had purple flesh on his arms and yellow hair growing wildly on his chest. He strode out, grabbed Ji Ji, and asked his important person: "Okay, your surname is Chen. Call my brother outside to do business. How about this?" I haven’t heard from you for several months, and I don’t know where to throw it in Hanoi, killing your life, but you still come to my house to find the whereabouts of the cargo ship! Human life is more important, or your cargo?”
Where did the economy dare to speak, he hurriedly broke free and ran home.Yang Erfeng deliberately picked up another three-pointed tile, cut his scalp, blood flowed all over his face, chased after the economy and scolded: "I'm your mother's eye! What kind of money did I see from your house? You come to my room to fart and eat me!" Good punch!"
Chen Jingji ran to the house desperately and closed the door.Yang Erfeng cursed his parents, scolded his parents outside the door, smashed the door with a big brick, and left after a long time.
In order to survive, Chen Jingji had to sell the big house, found 70 taels of silver, mortgaged a small house, and lived in a back alley.Not long after, the two girls sold Chongxi'er, and only kept Yuanxiao'er to sleep with him in the same shop.Less than half a month later, the small house was also upside down, but went to rent a house to live in.Chen An left, Yuan Xiao'er died, but he was alone.The guy's tables and chairs are all sold, and he is destitute.Soon, he couldn't afford the rent, so he was kicked out and got into the cold store.Seeing that he was a handsome man from a rich family, Huazi asked him to sleep on the hot kang and ate pancakes with him.Someone came over that night and taught him how to hold a fire and beat a clapper and ring a bell.During the day, teach him to go to the streets to beg for food.At this time, it was the twilight of the twelfth lunar month, and it was snowing heavily, the wind was biting, and it was very cold. Chen Jingji had suffered a lot.
On this day, begging came to the head of a rich family. The head of the household was named Wang Mingxuan, and his Taoist name was Xing’an Jushi. He was over sixty years old. , who is kind and respectful, and is an old acquaintance with Chen Jingji's father, and has met Chen Jingji.When Chen Jingji kowtowed and begged, he recognized him, and hurriedly called him up, asking about the cold and warmth, asking about his father and mother, feeling very sentimental.Take him to the guest seat inside, ask the boy to put the table, put out snacks and meals, and teach him to eat as much as he can.He also took out a green cotton Taoist robe, a felt hat, and a pair of felt socks and cotton shoes, and weighed one tael of silver and five hundred copper coins and handed them to him, saying: "Nephew, you should quickly change into these clothes, shoes and socks, Don't teach it to be frozen; the copper money is for your daily use, and you can rent half of the house to live in; you can use the silver to do some small business. You can make a living, but it is better than being in a cold shop. You can't learn good people. How much should you pay per month? Rent money, come here, I will be with you."
Chen Jingji kowtowed to thank him on the ground, and said, "My nephew will inform you." He took the clothes and money, and left the gate of Xing'an.But he didn't look for a house, didn't do business, and spent the five hundred Wen only in the noodle shop of the hotel every day.That one tael of silver was smashed into some white copper stew pots, which were used in the street, and was taken to the festival level of the workshop by the patrolling local thieves.In two days, the cotton clothes were also lost, and the socks were changed to eat, and they still slept in the cold shop begging for food.
One day, he beat Wang Xing'an again and passed the gate.The old man in Xing'an asked him the truth, told him a few words, let him come in again, fed him with food, and gave him a pair of trousers, a white shirt with a collar, a pair of bound feet, a hanging copper coin, and a bucket of rice , Said to him: "You take it to start a small business, sell some charcoal, beans and melon seeds, and live a life. It's better to beg for food like this."
The economy still fully agreed, and when he went out, he forgot all about it, and his nature did not change.In a few days, he was a pauper again.In the first lunar month, I walked on the street with my shoulders in my arms.It's not easy to come to see the old man, walk under the gable of the first room of his door, and stand facing the sun.The old man in Xing'an saw it coldly and didn't call him.The economy was robbed and robbed, and then came to the front and kowtowed on the ground.
The old man sighed and said: "Nephew, this is not a common policy. The throat is as deep as the sea, the sun and the moon are as fast as the shuttle, how can the bottomless pit be filled? You come in, and I will tell you, there is a place to go, which is both leisurely and comfortable. Safe with you, I'm afraid you won't go."
Ji Ji knelt down and cried: "If the old man sees pity, it doesn't matter where he is, but if he gets down, he will go if he is willing."
The old man Xing'an said: "This is not far from the city. There is a temple of Yan Gong on the Linqing pier. The Taoist priest in charge of the temple has a very close relationship with Lao Zhuo. He also has two or three disciples and grandchildren under his command. I will make a backup gift and send it to you. It is also good to be an apprentice with him, to become a monk, to learn some classic wind and percussion, and to be blessed by others."
Economically said: "Old man is looking after you, so you know it's good."
Xing'an said: "In this case, you go, tomorrow will be a good day, come early in the morning, I will take you there."
The economy kowtowed.
The old man Wang Xing'an quickly called a tailor, and made two Taoist clothes, a Taoist bun, and shoes and socks for the economy.
The next day, the economy really came.The old man taught him to take a bath, comb his hair, and dress neatly.Another four plates of soup, a jar of wine, and a ruler were prepared, and five taels of silver were sealed.So he rode on a horse, hired a donkey and Jiji rode, followed by two children, and two others carried the box load, went out of the city gate, and came straight to Yangong Temple at Linqing Wharf.Seventy miles, a day's journey.When we arrived at Yangong Temple, it was getting late.
At the foot of the mountain gate, a little boy had seen it and reported it to the abbot, and the Taoist priest was busy dressing up and going out to welcome him.The old man Wang Xing'an orders money and gifts and waits outside.He followed the Taoist priest into the abbot Songhexuan to give a speech.After finishing the tea, the old man explained the reason for his visit.
Taoist Ren said quickly: "The old layman ordered, how dare the Xiaodao go against it. Nai's life is difficult because of the Xiaodao. Although there are two or three apprentices under his command, they are not easy to trouble, and none of them are established. The Xiaodao often provokes anger. I don't know that this person is honest and dishonest."
The old man Xing'an said: "This little one, to tell the truth to the respected teacher, only cares about peace of mind, blindly honest and duty, timid and smart, can be regarded as an apprentice."
Taoist Ren asked, "When will the layman deliver it?"
The old man said: "Now I am serving outside the mountain gate. There are still some small gifts, please accept it with a smile."
Taoist Ren hurriedly said, "Why didn't the old lay tell you earlier?" He said, "Please!"
So the box bearer carried in the gift.Taoist Ren saw that the post said: "I would like to have one end of thick satin, one bottle of Lu wine, one pair of dolphin hoofs, two roast ducks, two boxes of tree fruits, and five taels of platinum. Zhisheng Wang Xuandun first worshiped." He quickly thanked him. Said: "Why is the old layman so far away? See how many important gifts have been given, so that Xiaodao is disrespectful, and he is ashamed to accept it." Look at Chen Jingji again: wearing a golden beam bun on his head, wearing a green silk Taoist robe, cloud shoes on his feet, clean socks, and a waist tie. Silk sash, born with delicate features, white teeth and red lips, and a face like powder, she really looks handsome and honest.
Chen Jingji stepped forward and bowed down to Taoist priest Ren, making four double and eight obeisances.
Taoist Ren asked him, "How much youth?"
Ji Ji said: "It is a horse, and it is 24 years old in the Chinese New Year."
Taoist Ren saw that he was really smart, so he took his Dharma name, "Chen Zongmei".Taoist priest Ren had two original apprentices: the first apprentice was surnamed Jin and his name was Zongming; the second apprentice was surnamed Xu and his name was Zongshun.
The old man Wang Xing'an rested in the temple for a night, and was treated by a Taoist priest.On the next day, he told Chen Jingji to give his speech and go home.
Since then, the economy has been a Taoist priest in this Yangong Temple.
Taoist Ren is old, red-nosed, burly, with a loud voice, a mustache, and can talk and drink well.This Yangong Temple is located at the pier.At that time, the imperial canal was first opened, and two gates were set up in Linqing to save water.No matter the officials or the people, when the boat arrives at the gate, they all come to the temple, or to ask for blessings, or to make sacrifices, or to ask for divination and broom, or to do good deeds; Reed mat.This Taoist priest often ordered his disciples to set up money and rice shops on the wharf with the surplus money and food in the office, and sold the money to accumulate private pockets.
His big apprentice, Jin Zongming, is not a dutiful person either.He is about thirty years old, and he often takes advantage of happy women in brothels. He is a licentious person.There are also two clean young apprentices under his command, who sleep in the same bunk and are troubled for a long time.Seeing that the new junior was handsome and obedient, and could talk, she pestered him to live in the same room.Wanxi had a midnight drink with him, got him drunk, and slept in the same bed.
At the beginning, he slept on both ends, but he felt that Jiji's feet were smelly, so he called him to sleep on the same pillow. After sleeping for a while, he said that he was breathing heavily, which made him turn around and put his butt against his stomach.The economy pretended to be asleep and ignored him.Jin Zongming made those words hard, straightened a stick, wiped some saliva on his head, and pushed it into his dung door.Some time ago, Ji Ji had been messed with by Huazi flying ghost Hou Lin'er in the cold shop, his eyes became big, and Jin Zongming went in without knowing what he said.
Ji Ji secretly said in his heart: "This guy is a loser. It's much more convenient for him to ask for it. He doesn't know who I am. Give him a sweetheart and teach him to take some disadvantages in my hands!" Thinking of this, he deliberately yelled.
Jin Zongming was afraid that the old Taoist would hear it, so he quickly covered his mouth and said, "Good brother, keep silent! Whatever you want, I will do it for you."
Ji Ji said: "Three things must be done by me."
"Brother, don't say three things, even ten things, I will follow you."
"The first one, since you want me, you are not allowed to sleep with those two apprentices; the second one, I will hold the keys on the big and small doors; the third one, follow me wherever I go, and don't be angry with me."
"It doesn't matter, I will depend on you."
That night, the two turned upside down and went crazy for half the night.This Chen Jiji has been bumped into by love since he was a child, what does he not know?At that moment, Jin Zongming was coaxed into endless joy by the Di Shanmeng, pillow oaths, and lewd words.On the second day, as expected, he handed over all the keys to him, and stopped staying with the two apprentices, and only slept with him every night.As the days went by, Chen Jingji knew the inside and outside details of the Yangong Temple, and with the key in his hand, it was easy to get money.On this day, the economy was taking some money to go to the pier. When he saw Chen San'er on the shelf in the yard, he said, "Feng Jinbao'er, her bustard died, and she was sold at Zheng's house again, named Zheng Jinbao'er. Now she is in the big restaurant again." Hurry up, don't you want to see her?"
The young man did not change his old love, so he followed Ding Chen San'er and went straight to the big restaurant on the wharf.
This big restaurant is Xiejia Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Linqing.Now it has been renovated, there are hundreds of pavilions inside, surrounded by green railings, facing the Guan River in front, it is a very lively place for people and boats.Chen San'er led the economy upstairs and sat down in a pavilion.Ebony spring platform, red lacquered stool.So he called the shop waiter, quickly wiped the spring table, took a pair of cups and chopsticks, arranged a top-quality wine, fruit and meat dish to display, and asked him to call Fantou from below.
After a while, only hearing the sound of the stairs, Jin Bao came up, holding a gong in his hand, met Ji Ji, and said a lot of blessings.Lover meets lover, tears to tears.When Ji Ji saw it, he pulled her to sit with him, put his arms around her, and asked, "Sister, where have you been? Why don't you see me?"
Jinbao swallowed his tears and said: "Since the county was interrupted, my mother was terrified and died of illness soon. She sold me to Zheng Wu's mother's house to make noodles. There are few younger brothers in the past two days, so I inevitably come to Linqing Wharf again. Catch up with the drinkers. Yesterday I heard Chen San'er say that you are opening a money shop here, and I want to see you. I don't expect to have a drink upstairs here today, and I will meet you. I don't want to kill me!" Cried.
Ji Ji took the handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped her tears, and said, "My sister, don't worry, I'm fine now. Since the lawsuit, the family business has been lost. I invested it in this temple of Yan Gong and became a monk. I became a Taoist priest. Master has entrusted me with great trust, and I will often come to see you in the future." He asked again, "Where do you settle down now?"
Jin Bao held back his tears and said, "The slave is at Liu Er's in the Sajia shop in the west of this bridge. There are hundreds of houses, four laymen's nests, and prostitutes all settled there. During the day, they come to these restaurants to take advantage of it." .”
The two of them were talking, sitting next to each other for a drink.Chen San'er warmed the wine and went upstairs, and brought the pipa.Jinbao played and sang a song called "Putianle" to drink with the economy:
Tears are falling, tears are falling.Three glasses of no wine, three glasses of no wine.Take apart the Luanfeng pair, take apart the Luanfeng pair.Look at the slanting light outside the ridge, look at the slanting light outside the ridge.The sky is dark and the earth is dark, the earth is dark and the sky is dark.lingering, reluctant to linger.
When the two eat and drink heavily, they inevitably undress and go to the next room.Chen Jiji, who has never been close to women and has been thirsty for a long time, now meets Jinbao and tries his best to hang around.
When things are over in a moment, each dresses up.Seeing that it was getting late, the economy said goodbye to Jinbao, gave Jinbao one or two silver coins, and gave Chen San'er three hundred copper coins.Then he said to Jin Bao: "Sister, I will come to see you often. Let's meet here. If you miss me, ask Chen San'er to call me." When he came downstairs, he sent the owner Xie Sanlang again. Three silver coins for wine.
Jin Bao followed and went straight to the bridge before returning.
From then on, they meet every other day or two, or if they don't go to the Economic Temple one day, Jinbao will ask Chen San'er to bring something or write a love letter to tell him to go.Go once, or five dollars, or one or two.Later, he offered firewood and rice for him, paid for his rent, and blushed when he returned to the temple.Taoist Ren asked him where he came to eat wine, and Jiji only said: "Drink three cups with the buddy at the rice shop, and relieve your hard work." act.Days and evenings went by, day and night, and most of the money in Taoist Ren's pocket was stolen, but Taoist Ren didn't know it.
Liu Er from Sajiadian is famous as Sidihu.He is Zhang Sheng's brother-in-law in Zhou Shoubei's mansion in the commander-in-chief's mansion. He exclusively runs a prostitution shop on the wharf.If one is not paid, the documents will be exchanged, and the profit will be used as the basis, and the profit will be added to the profit.People dare not provoke him because he is addicted to alcohol and commits crimes.He is the leader of the team that beats the fans, and the leader who bullies the drinkers.These days, I saw a white-faced boy, an apprentice of a Taoist priest in Yangong Temple, occupying a powdered gold treasure bag in Xie's restaurant, but he didn't see any money in his hands, so I felt very sad. On fire.On this day, he was staring blankly after eating, and carrying a bowl with big fists, he came downstairs to Xie's house and asked where Jin Bao was.When Xie Sanlang saw that he was coming, he hurriedly called out in a panic, and said, "Uncle Liu, she is in the second pavilion upstairs." Liu Er strode upstairs.
The economy is in the pavilion with Jinbao. The two are drinking and having a good time. The door is closed and the curtain is hung.Suddenly, there was a "crash", the curtain outside was torn down, and an earth-shattering cry: "Jin Baoer come out!" Then with a "bang", the door was kicked open, and a ferocious man stood at the door.
Chen Jingji was too bluffed to speak out.Seeing that it was Liu Er, Jin Bao had no choice but to come out to meet him: "Uncle Liu, what do you have to say?"
Liu Er scolded: "Thief whore, you owe me three months' rent, but you hide here. I won't go!"
Jin Bao smiled and said, "Second Uncle, go to your house, and I'll send my mother the rent."
But Liu Er punched Jin Bao's heart, knocked her down to the ground, then pulled her hair, smashed her forehead, blood flowed all over the ground.Cursed: "Thieves and whores, what are you waiting for? I want it now!" Seeing that the economy was inside, he went over and turned the table, smashing the dishes.
Ji Ji said: "Oh, who are you? Come and play wild!"
Liu Er scolded: "I, you Taoist priest, Yumiang!" He pulled his hair, pressed him to the ground, punched and kicked countless times.
The people eating wine upstairs watched and opened their eyes.The owner of the shop, Xie Sanlang, saw that Liu Er was drunk at first, so he didn't dare to mess with him.After the second time, I heard that the person was beaten badly, so I went upstairs to persuade him, and said, "Second Uncle Liu, calm down your anger. He doesn't know your name, and he made false remarks and offended you. Don't be as knowledgeable as he is. Let him go because of the villain's thin face. .”
Where did Liu Er obey, he tried his best to beat the economy until he passed out.He also called the local Baojia, tied the two of them to a pier lock, and said, "daymorning, go to the master's mansion early in the morning." It turned out that the garrison Zhou Xiu's edict ordered him to protect the place, patrol and arrest thieves, and also manage the river.
Chen Jiji was taken here. How did Taoist Ren know in the temple that he didn't see him back to the temple at night, so he thought he was sleeping in the rice shop.
The next day, before dawn, Xunhe quickly escorted Jiji and Jinbao, hired a leader to ride on them, and arrived in front of the house early in the morning to serve.First pass the manuscript to the two stewards Zhang Sheng and Li An, and say that there is a commotion in Uncle Liu's place, the Taoist Chen Jingji of Yangong Temple, and the prostitute Zheng Jinbao.
When all the soldiers learned about it, they came forward to ask Chen Jiji for money, and said: "We are executed by the court, a group of 12 people, you can do whatever you want. The two managers of Zhengjing, you can't underestimate them."
Ji Ji said: "I do have money around me. When Liu Er beat me last night, I was touched by others. The clothes on my body were torn to pieces. Where can I get the money? Only a silver hairpin was closed on the head and pulled out. Let's work with the two stewards."
All the prisoners took the hairpin and came to Zhang Sheng and Li An and told it.Zhang Sheng said: "You tell him to come closer and wait for me to interrogate him."
All the soldiers pushed Chen Jingji to kneel down in front of Zhang Sheng.Zhang Sheng asked: "Which Taoist priest are you apprentices?"
"The third."
"How old are you this year?"
"24 years old."
"You are so young, you should only be a Taoist priest in the temple and study the classics. Why do you hang out and drink and make noise? What kind of small yamen do you think of my lord Shuai's yamen? If you don't take money, this hairpin fetches water Don't be confused, what do you want it to do!" Zhang Sheng scolded Chen Jingji, and then ordered the jailer: "Also plunder him. Wait a moment, the master ascends to the hall and puts him on the head. Seeing this dog Male and female Taoist priests are just stingy. You are only allowed to ask for money and food from all directions! Don't say that you are an official, you come to eat and drink, and you also bring a square sweat towel to wipe your mouth. When you are executed, you will really use it harder. Hit this fellow!" He called Jin Bao up again.The Zheng family was followed by Wang Ba, who sent three or four taels of silver.Zhang Sheng said: "You are a prostitute, but it's no big deal to make a living while you are familiar. It depends on the master's happiness and anger. The distress is just a bit or two; if you like it, you just let it out and you don't know."
The jailer next to him said: "Give me another penny, and if I beat you later, I will spare your two big fingers."
Li An ordered: "Take the two of them far away to serve, and the master will come out of the hall next time."
Not for a while, I only heard the sound of the cloud board inside, the garrison was raised to the hall, and the Liaojun army prisons on both sides were very neat.
Chunmei is in the mansion, and she gave birth to a brother in August last year.The small yamen is half a year old now, with an appearance like a crown jade, and lips like vermilion.Defensive joy is like a treasure on the table, and it is like a priceless treasure.Soon after the eldest grandma passed away, the garrison registered Chunmei as his wife and lived in five main houses. He bought two foster mothers and nurses, one in Yutang and one in Jinkui; One of them is called Cuihua, the other is called Orchid, and there are two sisters who are loved to play and sing around him, both of them are sixteen or seventeen years old, one is Haitang, the other is Laurel, and they all serve in Chunmei's room.In Erniang Sun's room, there is only one maid named He Hua'er.Every time in this small yamen, as long as Zhang Sheng hugs him outside to play, he will watch from the side when he encounters the garrison promotion hall.
At that time, the garrison promotion hall sat down, put up the notice board and went out, and people from all places came in.The first one was indeed Chen Jingji and the prostitute Zheng Jinbao.The garrison looked at the certificate, and saw that the economy was wounded, and said, "You are a Taoist priest. If you don't abide by the clear rules, how can you be a prostitute, drink alcohol, and harass my place? It's a loss!" After chasing the ultimatum, she returned to vulgarity. The whore, Mrs. Zheng, slapped her for fifty blows, and ordered her to return to the court to serve as an errand."
The military prisons on both sides stepped forward, and waited to overthrow the economy, spread out the clothes, tied them up with ropes, and turned the sticks. When the two sides greeted each other, the small yamen, who was watching on the platform in front of the hall, fluttered in Zhang Sheng's arms and rushed towards Chen Jingji Want him to hug.Zhang Sheng was afraid that the guard would see him, so he hurried in, and the small yamen burst into tears, crying until Chunmei was in front of him.
Chunmei asked him why he was crying.
Zhang Sheng then said: "The old man was giving a message in the hall. He hit Taoist Chen from the Yangong Temple, and he rushed to hug him. When the little one walked down, he cried."
When Chunmei heard that the surname was Chen, she couldn't help but lightly moved her lotus steps, frowned her skirt, walked to the back of the soft screen and looked around. Seeing the man's face and appearance, and hearing his painful voice, she looked like Chen. Ji Ji couldn't help wondering: "Why did he become a Taoist priest?" So he called Zhang Sheng and asked, "Who is this person's name?"
Zhang Shengdao: "This Taoist confession was 24 years old last year, and his common name is Chen Jiji."
Chunmei secretly said: "It's him." On the one hand, Zhang Sheng: "Please come down your master."
The garrison was beating the economy in the hall, and he had only hit ten sticks, while still beating the prostitute. Suddenly, when he heard that his wife had invited him, he ordered the jailer to stop the stick and stop beating, and came down the hall.
Chunmei said: "The Taoist priest you beat is my aunt's cousin, let me spare him."
The guard said: "Madam didn't say earlier, I have already beaten him ten sticks, what can I do?" He hurried out of the hall and told the prisoner: "Let them all go with me!"
Chunmei was about to ask Zhang Sheng to invite Ji Ji to meet her in the back hall when she suddenly remembered something and thought to herself, "Pull out the sores in front of my eyes and fix my heart. If the sores in front of my eyes don't go away, how can I fix my heart?" So he told Zhang Sheng: "You call that man now, and I will call him again after I take my time."
The Taoist priest thought that Chen Jingji hadn't returned to the rice shop last night, but suddenly he heard someone say, "Your disciple Chen Zongmei was keeping a whore, Zheng Jinbaoer, in a big restaurant, and offended Liu Er, a land tiger in Sajiadian. You're so stinky, even the whore is tied up, and you have to go to the garrison, if you don't do it well, you, the master, will also be interrogated, and you will be sent back to the official after the death certificate." The Taoist heard this, and one of them was old. Frightened, the two were fat and fat. When they opened the suitcase, they saw that there was not much soft gold and silver left. They breathed heavily, and phlegm came up, and they passed out on the ground.All the disciples rushed forward to help, and asked the doctor to pour the medicine, and passed out. In the middle of the night, he breathed out and died. He died at the age of 63.
Therefore, when Chen Jingji was released from the garrison mansion, a neighbor told him on the way: "How dare you go back to the temple? Your master was so angry because of you that he died at midnight last night."
After hearing this, the economy hurriedly frightened like a dog in mourning, and hurried back to Qinghe County like a fish slipping through the net.
Chunmei dismissed the money, went back to the room, took off the crown, took off the embroidered clothes, fell on the bed, felt the quilt, and cried out for pain.It made everyone in the house panic.The next room, Erniang Sun, came to ask: "The eldest grandma is fine, why is it so bad?"
Chunmei said: "Go ahead and leave me alone."
The garrison retreated to the hall and came in. Seeing her like this, he also panicked, took her hand and asked, "What's on your mind?"
Chunmei was silent.
"Which provoked you?"
Chunmei remained silent.
"Is it because I hit your brother just now, are you annoyed?"
Chunmei still didn't answer.
The guard was helpless, so he went out of the room to call Zhang Sheng and Li An, and troubled them both: "You two, if you knew he was your grandma's brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? But you taught me to hit him ten times, It made your grandma feel uncomfortable. I taught you to keep him and ask your grandma to meet him, why did you let him go again? You two should decide!"
Zhang Sheng said: "The young one once reported to grandma, and grandma told him to teach him to go, so the young one let him go."
The two walked into the room, weeping and pleading with Chunmei: "I hope grandma can say something conveniently in front of the master. Otherwise, the master will punish the younger ones."
When Chunmei heard this, she opened her starry eyes, raised her moth eyebrows, and called the guards to come closer and said, "I don't feel good about myself, what can I do to them? That guy doesn't keep his duty, he is a Taoist priest outside. Don't worry about him for a while." , wait for me to admit him slowly."
The guard saw that she was only screaming for pain, so Zhang Sheng invited a medical officer to take a pulse, and said: "The old lady is suffering from the disease of six desires and seven emotions, and she is very angry." Ask for the medicine.
How could Chunmei know how to take medicine? When she was on guard, she only took a sip. When the guard left, she scolded the girl Yuegui and poured the medicine on Yuegui's face. It was useless for Erniang Sun to persuade her.The girl Haitang was kind, and according to Sun Erniang's advice, she cooked a small pot of porridge thick with japonica millet and served it, but she was also scolded and almost beat him up.
After a long time, Chunmei called Lan Hua'er, the little girl, and told her, "I want some chicken soup. Go to the kitchen, face that prostitute servant, and teach him to wash his hands and make a good bowl of chicken soup with him." I will eat it. Teach her to put more sour bamboo shoots, and I will eat it if it is hot and sour."
Lan Hua'er didn't dare to neglect, she went to the kitchen and told Xue'e.
Chicken tip soup is a soup made from the tip of chicken breast wings, chopped.Xue'e hurriedly washed her hands and picked her nails, butchered two chickens, brushed them clean, picked the wing tips, chopped them into shreds with a sharp knife, added pepper, green onion, coriander, sour bamboo shoots, oil sauce, etc., and made a clear soup .Fill two cups, use a red lacquer plate, and teach the orchids to be taken to the room hot.
Chunmei looked at it under the lamp, took a sip, and cursed strangely: "Tell that whore and slave, what kind of soup do you make, the semen water is weak, and it tastes bad? This is not teaching me to eat, for no reason. Teach me to be angry!"
Lan Hua'er was afraid of being beaten, so she hurried to the kitchen and told Xue'e.Xue'e didn't say a word, swallowed her anger, sat down in the pot again, made another bowl, added more pepper, and taught the orchid to bring it to the room.
Chunmei thought it was too salty again, so she picked it up and poured it on the ground.Fortunately, the orchid hides quickly.Almost splashed all over.Chunmei scolded again: "Talk to that slave, she is not used to having sex with me! No matter how bad this is, teach her to ask for justice!"
After hearing this, Xue'e whispered: "Since when my sister has grown up like this, she will cheer up!"
Lan Hua heard this, and went back to the room to tell Chunmei.Chunmei straightened her willow eyebrows, her starry eyes widened, she gritted her silver teeth, her face flushed red, she shouted, "Take that whore slave here with me!"
After a while, three or four maidservants were used to drag Xue'e into the room.Chunmei was furious, grabbed her hair with one hand, stomped off the crown on her head, and scolded: "You whore and slave, how did you say you were so big? It wasn't your Ximenqing family who made me so big! I bought you to serve me, you are not angry. I teach you how to make mouth soup, it is either bland or bitter. You are still talking to the girl, what do I want you for!" , pulled Xue'e out of the room, and knelt in the courtyard.Zhang Sheng and Li An were ordered to strip her of her clothes and beat her with thirty sticks.
The family members on both sides lighted and waved the lanterns brightly, and Zhang Sheng and Li An each held a big stick to serve them.Xue'e just refused to take off her clothes.Chunmei was probably angry with the defense, so she dared not speak in front of her.Sun Erniang persuaded again and again: "Beat her as much as grandma tells you, don't take off her little clothes, and take off her clothes to the servants, he is not good-looking. I just hope grandma will hold her hands high."
Chunmei refused, and said, "Who's stopping me? I'll throw the child to death first, and then I'll just hang her with a rope. It's fine to keep her in this house!" Stretched in a coma and unconscious.
The guard hurriedly helped her up and said, "Fight as you like, I'm not mad at you."
Poor at the moment, she dragged Sun Xue'e to the ground, took off her clothes, and beat her with thirty sticks until her skin was torn to pieces.He also asked the prisoner to call Mrs. Xue to come in the middle of the night, and immediately took him out to sell with all his body.
Chunmei called Mrs. Xue behind her back and told her: "I only want eight taels of silver, and I will sell this prostitute slave to me in a whore house. You can earn as much as you want, and I don't care about you. If you sell it elsewhere, I will find out. Just stop seeing me."
Sister-in-law Xue said: "Where can I live? Why don't I follow your advice? Don't worry!" That night, she brought Xue'e home.
Xue'e cried bitterly until dawn.
Mrs. Xue persuaded: "Stop crying. It's your bad luck. The enemy bumped into each other. It's all right for the master to see you. I only blame you for having some old grudges with her. At this time, I come to frustrate you. The master can't do it." Master, seeing that she has a child, I must follow her. Sun Erniang also has to give her a little bit. As the saying goes: "Traveling rice turned out to be a warehouse officer. Don't cry if you can't say it."
Xue'e shed tears and thanked Mrs. Xue: "I just hope to find a good brain sooner or later. I'll go and have something to eat."
Mrs. Xue said: "She must have ordered me to send you to a prostitute. I have to raise children and raise a daughter, and I have to be reasonable. Wait for me to find a single husband and a single wife; or marry a small broker's family to support you. You come too."
Xue'e is very grateful, thank you Mrs. Xue.
The next day, Mama Zhang, who runs a shop next door, came and called, "Mama Xue, what kind of lady is there next door to you, why did you cry so miserably last night?"
Mrs. Xue said: "Mother Zhang, please come in and sit down. This is the lady. She came from an adult's family. Because she couldn't get along with the eldest lady, she was sent out to marry with me. I would rather find a single husband and a single wife, so as not to get married. get angry."
"I have a customer who sells cotton flowers from Shandong. His surname is Pan, ranking fifth, and he is 37 years old. Several carts of flowers and fruits are often placed in the old body shop. The day before yesterday, he said that his mother was sick, and she was in her 70s. His wife died for about half a year, and no one waited on him. He told me again and again to protect his head. In my opinion, this lady is about the same age, so marry him and be a lady." Zhang Ma said.
"To tell you the truth, old man, this lady comes from a family, and she can do everything, no matter how big or small. Needless to say, she can make good soup. I'm only 35 years old this year. My family only needs 30 taels of silver. It's better to keep him." Mrs. Xue started asking for the price.
"Is there a cage?" Mama Zhang was also amazing.
"It's just that she has clothes, hairpin rings, etc., and she doesn't have a cage." Mrs. Xue had to tell the truth.
"Since that's the case, I'll go back and tell that person, tell him to come and take a look." After Zhang Ma finished speaking, she ate tea and went back.
After dinner the next day, he really brought a man to see him, and he bargained for 25 taels, and he got a matchmaker's money with Mrs. Xue.Mrs. Xue didn't compete, so she took the money and wrote the paperwork.Wanxi sent the man there, and at five o'clock the next day, the man thanked Zhang's mother and led Sun Xue'e into the car and got up.Mrs. Xue taught people to change the paperwork, and only exchanged eight taels of silver, handing it over to the mansion and Chunmei to collect it, and only said that she had sold it to a prostitute.
Xue'e followed Pan Wu in the car and came to Linqing, thinking that she had found a single husband, and she was a little happy.At this time, the weather is in June, the days are long, and it is only the west of Linqing Wharf.When I arrived at Sajiadian, I entered a portal, and half of the house was covered with earth kang.Sitting on the kang was a woman in her 60s and [-]s, and an old girl in her seventeenth or eighteenth year, with her hair in a bun, her pink lips painted, and soft silk clothes, playing on the edge of the kang. play pipa.Xue'e cried out bitterly, only to realize that she was still sold into a whorehouse. This man Pan Wu was a confidante who bought her to make fans.
Pan Wu entered the house regardless of length, beat up Xue'e, slept with her for two nights, and only ate two bowls of food with her. He named her "Yu'er", taught her to play musical instruments, and learned how to play and sing. He beat him again, until his body was covered in blue and red.Leading the way, Fang and her dress up, dress up, stand in front of the door, lean on the door and smile, with mocking eyes.
One day, Zhang Sheng was sent by the garrison to buy dozens of wine koji in the river and make wine in his house.Seeing his brother-in-law coming, Liu Er, the ground tiger of this Sajia restaurant, cleaned up the restaurant quickly. In the upper class pavilion, he arranged wine and food cups and plates, all kinds of fresh fruits, good wine and live fish. Zhang Sheng was invited to sit on it and drink.He also ordered Bao'er, the wine doctor, to sieve the wine and call some singers to come up.Not long after, I only heard laughter by Hu Ti's bank. Generally, the four singers are the oldest, dressed like flowers, all wearing light gauze and soft silk clothes. The embroidered belt fluttered, and he bowed four times and stood beside him.
Zhang Sheng opened his eyes to watch, and saw a pink head in it, which looked very familiar, and when he looked closely, he thought to himself: It looks like the lady Xue'e sent by the grandma in the old man's house.How did she make this way, and how did she come here?
Xue'e recognized Zhang Sheng first, but she dared not make a sound.
Zhang Sheng then asked Liu Er: "Whose family does that fan belong to?"
Liu Er replied: "I will tell you my brother-in-law, she is Yuer from Pan Wuwu."
Zhang Sheng said: "This Pan Jiayu looks familiar to me." So he called her to come closer and asked her quietly: "Aren't you the snow girl in the master's house? How did you get here?"
After hearing this, Xue'e couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, and said, "It's hard to explain in one word." Then she told the story of being sold.
Zhang Shengping used to see that she was born well, and he was always in love with her.Xue'e was like an old acquaintance, she tried her best to persuade her to drink before the dinner, and the two agreed to enter Hong Kong.Xue'e inevitably picked up the pipa, sang the words "Four Dollars of Gold", and drank with Zhang Sheng:
I missed us in my previous life, so I owe him less lovesickness debts.In the middle of the wave, I can't hold back the concentric belt.Talking taught me that tears filled my cheeks, and I was bored and worried like a sea.Thousands of vows and alliances, where are they now?Bad talent, Zensheng wasted a lot of my love!
At the end of the singing, pass cups to each other for a change, lean on the green and cuddle up to the red, and when the meal is thick, Xue'e will fall in love with Zhang Sheng.In the evening, the two stayed in the pavilion and slept together.With Fengyue beside her pillow, Shanmeng beside her ears, she and Zhang Sheng try their best to linger, like a fish in water, it's hard to describe in every way.
The next day, after getting up and washing his head and face, Liu Er arranged for food and wine to be brought up early, and he and his brother-in-law supported the head.With a big plate and a big bowl, after a gluttonous meal, Zhang Sheng put away his luggage, fed his head, loaded with rice koji, and followed him to go back to Qinghe.Before going out, I gave Xue'e three taels of silver.He also told Liu Er: "Take care of her, don't teach others to bully her."
Since then, when Zhang Shengdan came to Hexia, he met Xue'e at Sajiadian.Walking back and forth, with Pan five taels of silver every month, he covered her and didn't allow anyone else.Then Liu Er wanted to make his brother-in-law happy, so he didn't even ask him for the rent, and scraped the future of each nest, and paid for Zhang Sheng, including Xue'e's firewood and rice.
From now on, Sun Xue'e's life is much better.
(End of this chapter)
Yang Dalang dispatched his brother Yang Erfeng to send Chen Jingji away.
This Yang Erfeng had purple flesh on his arms and yellow hair growing wildly on his chest. He strode out, grabbed Ji Ji, and asked his important person: "Okay, your surname is Chen. Call my brother outside to do business. How about this?" I haven’t heard from you for several months, and I don’t know where to throw it in Hanoi, killing your life, but you still come to my house to find the whereabouts of the cargo ship! Human life is more important, or your cargo?”
Where did the economy dare to speak, he hurriedly broke free and ran home.Yang Erfeng deliberately picked up another three-pointed tile, cut his scalp, blood flowed all over his face, chased after the economy and scolded: "I'm your mother's eye! What kind of money did I see from your house? You come to my room to fart and eat me!" Good punch!"
Chen Jingji ran to the house desperately and closed the door.Yang Erfeng cursed his parents, scolded his parents outside the door, smashed the door with a big brick, and left after a long time.
In order to survive, Chen Jingji had to sell the big house, found 70 taels of silver, mortgaged a small house, and lived in a back alley.Not long after, the two girls sold Chongxi'er, and only kept Yuanxiao'er to sleep with him in the same shop.Less than half a month later, the small house was also upside down, but went to rent a house to live in.Chen An left, Yuan Xiao'er died, but he was alone.The guy's tables and chairs are all sold, and he is destitute.Soon, he couldn't afford the rent, so he was kicked out and got into the cold store.Seeing that he was a handsome man from a rich family, Huazi asked him to sleep on the hot kang and ate pancakes with him.Someone came over that night and taught him how to hold a fire and beat a clapper and ring a bell.During the day, teach him to go to the streets to beg for food.At this time, it was the twilight of the twelfth lunar month, and it was snowing heavily, the wind was biting, and it was very cold. Chen Jingji had suffered a lot.
On this day, begging came to the head of a rich family. The head of the household was named Wang Mingxuan, and his Taoist name was Xing’an Jushi. He was over sixty years old. , who is kind and respectful, and is an old acquaintance with Chen Jingji's father, and has met Chen Jingji.When Chen Jingji kowtowed and begged, he recognized him, and hurriedly called him up, asking about the cold and warmth, asking about his father and mother, feeling very sentimental.Take him to the guest seat inside, ask the boy to put the table, put out snacks and meals, and teach him to eat as much as he can.He also took out a green cotton Taoist robe, a felt hat, and a pair of felt socks and cotton shoes, and weighed one tael of silver and five hundred copper coins and handed them to him, saying: "Nephew, you should quickly change into these clothes, shoes and socks, Don't teach it to be frozen; the copper money is for your daily use, and you can rent half of the house to live in; you can use the silver to do some small business. You can make a living, but it is better than being in a cold shop. You can't learn good people. How much should you pay per month? Rent money, come here, I will be with you."
Chen Jingji kowtowed to thank him on the ground, and said, "My nephew will inform you." He took the clothes and money, and left the gate of Xing'an.But he didn't look for a house, didn't do business, and spent the five hundred Wen only in the noodle shop of the hotel every day.That one tael of silver was smashed into some white copper stew pots, which were used in the street, and was taken to the festival level of the workshop by the patrolling local thieves.In two days, the cotton clothes were also lost, and the socks were changed to eat, and they still slept in the cold shop begging for food.
One day, he beat Wang Xing'an again and passed the gate.The old man in Xing'an asked him the truth, told him a few words, let him come in again, fed him with food, and gave him a pair of trousers, a white shirt with a collar, a pair of bound feet, a hanging copper coin, and a bucket of rice , Said to him: "You take it to start a small business, sell some charcoal, beans and melon seeds, and live a life. It's better to beg for food like this."
The economy still fully agreed, and when he went out, he forgot all about it, and his nature did not change.In a few days, he was a pauper again.In the first lunar month, I walked on the street with my shoulders in my arms.It's not easy to come to see the old man, walk under the gable of the first room of his door, and stand facing the sun.The old man in Xing'an saw it coldly and didn't call him.The economy was robbed and robbed, and then came to the front and kowtowed on the ground.
The old man sighed and said: "Nephew, this is not a common policy. The throat is as deep as the sea, the sun and the moon are as fast as the shuttle, how can the bottomless pit be filled? You come in, and I will tell you, there is a place to go, which is both leisurely and comfortable. Safe with you, I'm afraid you won't go."
Ji Ji knelt down and cried: "If the old man sees pity, it doesn't matter where he is, but if he gets down, he will go if he is willing."
The old man Xing'an said: "This is not far from the city. There is a temple of Yan Gong on the Linqing pier. The Taoist priest in charge of the temple has a very close relationship with Lao Zhuo. He also has two or three disciples and grandchildren under his command. I will make a backup gift and send it to you. It is also good to be an apprentice with him, to become a monk, to learn some classic wind and percussion, and to be blessed by others."
Economically said: "Old man is looking after you, so you know it's good."
Xing'an said: "In this case, you go, tomorrow will be a good day, come early in the morning, I will take you there."
The economy kowtowed.
The old man Wang Xing'an quickly called a tailor, and made two Taoist clothes, a Taoist bun, and shoes and socks for the economy.
The next day, the economy really came.The old man taught him to take a bath, comb his hair, and dress neatly.Another four plates of soup, a jar of wine, and a ruler were prepared, and five taels of silver were sealed.So he rode on a horse, hired a donkey and Jiji rode, followed by two children, and two others carried the box load, went out of the city gate, and came straight to Yangong Temple at Linqing Wharf.Seventy miles, a day's journey.When we arrived at Yangong Temple, it was getting late.
At the foot of the mountain gate, a little boy had seen it and reported it to the abbot, and the Taoist priest was busy dressing up and going out to welcome him.The old man Wang Xing'an orders money and gifts and waits outside.He followed the Taoist priest into the abbot Songhexuan to give a speech.After finishing the tea, the old man explained the reason for his visit.
Taoist Ren said quickly: "The old layman ordered, how dare the Xiaodao go against it. Nai's life is difficult because of the Xiaodao. Although there are two or three apprentices under his command, they are not easy to trouble, and none of them are established. The Xiaodao often provokes anger. I don't know that this person is honest and dishonest."
The old man Xing'an said: "This little one, to tell the truth to the respected teacher, only cares about peace of mind, blindly honest and duty, timid and smart, can be regarded as an apprentice."
Taoist Ren asked, "When will the layman deliver it?"
The old man said: "Now I am serving outside the mountain gate. There are still some small gifts, please accept it with a smile."
Taoist Ren hurriedly said, "Why didn't the old lay tell you earlier?" He said, "Please!"
So the box bearer carried in the gift.Taoist Ren saw that the post said: "I would like to have one end of thick satin, one bottle of Lu wine, one pair of dolphin hoofs, two roast ducks, two boxes of tree fruits, and five taels of platinum. Zhisheng Wang Xuandun first worshiped." He quickly thanked him. Said: "Why is the old layman so far away? See how many important gifts have been given, so that Xiaodao is disrespectful, and he is ashamed to accept it." Look at Chen Jingji again: wearing a golden beam bun on his head, wearing a green silk Taoist robe, cloud shoes on his feet, clean socks, and a waist tie. Silk sash, born with delicate features, white teeth and red lips, and a face like powder, she really looks handsome and honest.
Chen Jingji stepped forward and bowed down to Taoist priest Ren, making four double and eight obeisances.
Taoist Ren asked him, "How much youth?"
Ji Ji said: "It is a horse, and it is 24 years old in the Chinese New Year."
Taoist Ren saw that he was really smart, so he took his Dharma name, "Chen Zongmei".Taoist priest Ren had two original apprentices: the first apprentice was surnamed Jin and his name was Zongming; the second apprentice was surnamed Xu and his name was Zongshun.
The old man Wang Xing'an rested in the temple for a night, and was treated by a Taoist priest.On the next day, he told Chen Jingji to give his speech and go home.
Since then, the economy has been a Taoist priest in this Yangong Temple.
Taoist Ren is old, red-nosed, burly, with a loud voice, a mustache, and can talk and drink well.This Yangong Temple is located at the pier.At that time, the imperial canal was first opened, and two gates were set up in Linqing to save water.No matter the officials or the people, when the boat arrives at the gate, they all come to the temple, or to ask for blessings, or to make sacrifices, or to ask for divination and broom, or to do good deeds; Reed mat.This Taoist priest often ordered his disciples to set up money and rice shops on the wharf with the surplus money and food in the office, and sold the money to accumulate private pockets.
His big apprentice, Jin Zongming, is not a dutiful person either.He is about thirty years old, and he often takes advantage of happy women in brothels. He is a licentious person.There are also two clean young apprentices under his command, who sleep in the same bunk and are troubled for a long time.Seeing that the new junior was handsome and obedient, and could talk, she pestered him to live in the same room.Wanxi had a midnight drink with him, got him drunk, and slept in the same bed.
At the beginning, he slept on both ends, but he felt that Jiji's feet were smelly, so he called him to sleep on the same pillow. After sleeping for a while, he said that he was breathing heavily, which made him turn around and put his butt against his stomach.The economy pretended to be asleep and ignored him.Jin Zongming made those words hard, straightened a stick, wiped some saliva on his head, and pushed it into his dung door.Some time ago, Ji Ji had been messed with by Huazi flying ghost Hou Lin'er in the cold shop, his eyes became big, and Jin Zongming went in without knowing what he said.
Ji Ji secretly said in his heart: "This guy is a loser. It's much more convenient for him to ask for it. He doesn't know who I am. Give him a sweetheart and teach him to take some disadvantages in my hands!" Thinking of this, he deliberately yelled.
Jin Zongming was afraid that the old Taoist would hear it, so he quickly covered his mouth and said, "Good brother, keep silent! Whatever you want, I will do it for you."
Ji Ji said: "Three things must be done by me."
"Brother, don't say three things, even ten things, I will follow you."
"The first one, since you want me, you are not allowed to sleep with those two apprentices; the second one, I will hold the keys on the big and small doors; the third one, follow me wherever I go, and don't be angry with me."
"It doesn't matter, I will depend on you."
That night, the two turned upside down and went crazy for half the night.This Chen Jiji has been bumped into by love since he was a child, what does he not know?At that moment, Jin Zongming was coaxed into endless joy by the Di Shanmeng, pillow oaths, and lewd words.On the second day, as expected, he handed over all the keys to him, and stopped staying with the two apprentices, and only slept with him every night.As the days went by, Chen Jingji knew the inside and outside details of the Yangong Temple, and with the key in his hand, it was easy to get money.On this day, the economy was taking some money to go to the pier. When he saw Chen San'er on the shelf in the yard, he said, "Feng Jinbao'er, her bustard died, and she was sold at Zheng's house again, named Zheng Jinbao'er. Now she is in the big restaurant again." Hurry up, don't you want to see her?"
The young man did not change his old love, so he followed Ding Chen San'er and went straight to the big restaurant on the wharf.
This big restaurant is Xiejia Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Linqing.Now it has been renovated, there are hundreds of pavilions inside, surrounded by green railings, facing the Guan River in front, it is a very lively place for people and boats.Chen San'er led the economy upstairs and sat down in a pavilion.Ebony spring platform, red lacquered stool.So he called the shop waiter, quickly wiped the spring table, took a pair of cups and chopsticks, arranged a top-quality wine, fruit and meat dish to display, and asked him to call Fantou from below.
After a while, only hearing the sound of the stairs, Jin Bao came up, holding a gong in his hand, met Ji Ji, and said a lot of blessings.Lover meets lover, tears to tears.When Ji Ji saw it, he pulled her to sit with him, put his arms around her, and asked, "Sister, where have you been? Why don't you see me?"
Jinbao swallowed his tears and said: "Since the county was interrupted, my mother was terrified and died of illness soon. She sold me to Zheng Wu's mother's house to make noodles. There are few younger brothers in the past two days, so I inevitably come to Linqing Wharf again. Catch up with the drinkers. Yesterday I heard Chen San'er say that you are opening a money shop here, and I want to see you. I don't expect to have a drink upstairs here today, and I will meet you. I don't want to kill me!" Cried.
Ji Ji took the handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped her tears, and said, "My sister, don't worry, I'm fine now. Since the lawsuit, the family business has been lost. I invested it in this temple of Yan Gong and became a monk. I became a Taoist priest. Master has entrusted me with great trust, and I will often come to see you in the future." He asked again, "Where do you settle down now?"
Jin Bao held back his tears and said, "The slave is at Liu Er's in the Sajia shop in the west of this bridge. There are hundreds of houses, four laymen's nests, and prostitutes all settled there. During the day, they come to these restaurants to take advantage of it." .”
The two of them were talking, sitting next to each other for a drink.Chen San'er warmed the wine and went upstairs, and brought the pipa.Jinbao played and sang a song called "Putianle" to drink with the economy:
Tears are falling, tears are falling.Three glasses of no wine, three glasses of no wine.Take apart the Luanfeng pair, take apart the Luanfeng pair.Look at the slanting light outside the ridge, look at the slanting light outside the ridge.The sky is dark and the earth is dark, the earth is dark and the sky is dark.lingering, reluctant to linger.
When the two eat and drink heavily, they inevitably undress and go to the next room.Chen Jiji, who has never been close to women and has been thirsty for a long time, now meets Jinbao and tries his best to hang around.
When things are over in a moment, each dresses up.Seeing that it was getting late, the economy said goodbye to Jinbao, gave Jinbao one or two silver coins, and gave Chen San'er three hundred copper coins.Then he said to Jin Bao: "Sister, I will come to see you often. Let's meet here. If you miss me, ask Chen San'er to call me." When he came downstairs, he sent the owner Xie Sanlang again. Three silver coins for wine.
Jin Bao followed and went straight to the bridge before returning.
From then on, they meet every other day or two, or if they don't go to the Economic Temple one day, Jinbao will ask Chen San'er to bring something or write a love letter to tell him to go.Go once, or five dollars, or one or two.Later, he offered firewood and rice for him, paid for his rent, and blushed when he returned to the temple.Taoist Ren asked him where he came to eat wine, and Jiji only said: "Drink three cups with the buddy at the rice shop, and relieve your hard work." act.Days and evenings went by, day and night, and most of the money in Taoist Ren's pocket was stolen, but Taoist Ren didn't know it.
Liu Er from Sajiadian is famous as Sidihu.He is Zhang Sheng's brother-in-law in Zhou Shoubei's mansion in the commander-in-chief's mansion. He exclusively runs a prostitution shop on the wharf.If one is not paid, the documents will be exchanged, and the profit will be used as the basis, and the profit will be added to the profit.People dare not provoke him because he is addicted to alcohol and commits crimes.He is the leader of the team that beats the fans, and the leader who bullies the drinkers.These days, I saw a white-faced boy, an apprentice of a Taoist priest in Yangong Temple, occupying a powdered gold treasure bag in Xie's restaurant, but he didn't see any money in his hands, so I felt very sad. On fire.On this day, he was staring blankly after eating, and carrying a bowl with big fists, he came downstairs to Xie's house and asked where Jin Bao was.When Xie Sanlang saw that he was coming, he hurriedly called out in a panic, and said, "Uncle Liu, she is in the second pavilion upstairs." Liu Er strode upstairs.
The economy is in the pavilion with Jinbao. The two are drinking and having a good time. The door is closed and the curtain is hung.Suddenly, there was a "crash", the curtain outside was torn down, and an earth-shattering cry: "Jin Baoer come out!" Then with a "bang", the door was kicked open, and a ferocious man stood at the door.
Chen Jingji was too bluffed to speak out.Seeing that it was Liu Er, Jin Bao had no choice but to come out to meet him: "Uncle Liu, what do you have to say?"
Liu Er scolded: "Thief whore, you owe me three months' rent, but you hide here. I won't go!"
Jin Bao smiled and said, "Second Uncle, go to your house, and I'll send my mother the rent."
But Liu Er punched Jin Bao's heart, knocked her down to the ground, then pulled her hair, smashed her forehead, blood flowed all over the ground.Cursed: "Thieves and whores, what are you waiting for? I want it now!" Seeing that the economy was inside, he went over and turned the table, smashing the dishes.
Ji Ji said: "Oh, who are you? Come and play wild!"
Liu Er scolded: "I, you Taoist priest, Yumiang!" He pulled his hair, pressed him to the ground, punched and kicked countless times.
The people eating wine upstairs watched and opened their eyes.The owner of the shop, Xie Sanlang, saw that Liu Er was drunk at first, so he didn't dare to mess with him.After the second time, I heard that the person was beaten badly, so I went upstairs to persuade him, and said, "Second Uncle Liu, calm down your anger. He doesn't know your name, and he made false remarks and offended you. Don't be as knowledgeable as he is. Let him go because of the villain's thin face. .”
Where did Liu Er obey, he tried his best to beat the economy until he passed out.He also called the local Baojia, tied the two of them to a pier lock, and said, "daymorning, go to the master's mansion early in the morning." It turned out that the garrison Zhou Xiu's edict ordered him to protect the place, patrol and arrest thieves, and also manage the river.
Chen Jiji was taken here. How did Taoist Ren know in the temple that he didn't see him back to the temple at night, so he thought he was sleeping in the rice shop.
The next day, before dawn, Xunhe quickly escorted Jiji and Jinbao, hired a leader to ride on them, and arrived in front of the house early in the morning to serve.First pass the manuscript to the two stewards Zhang Sheng and Li An, and say that there is a commotion in Uncle Liu's place, the Taoist Chen Jingji of Yangong Temple, and the prostitute Zheng Jinbao.
When all the soldiers learned about it, they came forward to ask Chen Jiji for money, and said: "We are executed by the court, a group of 12 people, you can do whatever you want. The two managers of Zhengjing, you can't underestimate them."
Ji Ji said: "I do have money around me. When Liu Er beat me last night, I was touched by others. The clothes on my body were torn to pieces. Where can I get the money? Only a silver hairpin was closed on the head and pulled out. Let's work with the two stewards."
All the prisoners took the hairpin and came to Zhang Sheng and Li An and told it.Zhang Sheng said: "You tell him to come closer and wait for me to interrogate him."
All the soldiers pushed Chen Jingji to kneel down in front of Zhang Sheng.Zhang Sheng asked: "Which Taoist priest are you apprentices?"
"The third."
"How old are you this year?"
"24 years old."
"You are so young, you should only be a Taoist priest in the temple and study the classics. Why do you hang out and drink and make noise? What kind of small yamen do you think of my lord Shuai's yamen? If you don't take money, this hairpin fetches water Don't be confused, what do you want it to do!" Zhang Sheng scolded Chen Jingji, and then ordered the jailer: "Also plunder him. Wait a moment, the master ascends to the hall and puts him on the head. Seeing this dog Male and female Taoist priests are just stingy. You are only allowed to ask for money and food from all directions! Don't say that you are an official, you come to eat and drink, and you also bring a square sweat towel to wipe your mouth. When you are executed, you will really use it harder. Hit this fellow!" He called Jin Bao up again.The Zheng family was followed by Wang Ba, who sent three or four taels of silver.Zhang Sheng said: "You are a prostitute, but it's no big deal to make a living while you are familiar. It depends on the master's happiness and anger. The distress is just a bit or two; if you like it, you just let it out and you don't know."
The jailer next to him said: "Give me another penny, and if I beat you later, I will spare your two big fingers."
Li An ordered: "Take the two of them far away to serve, and the master will come out of the hall next time."
Not for a while, I only heard the sound of the cloud board inside, the garrison was raised to the hall, and the Liaojun army prisons on both sides were very neat.
Chunmei is in the mansion, and she gave birth to a brother in August last year.The small yamen is half a year old now, with an appearance like a crown jade, and lips like vermilion.Defensive joy is like a treasure on the table, and it is like a priceless treasure.Soon after the eldest grandma passed away, the garrison registered Chunmei as his wife and lived in five main houses. He bought two foster mothers and nurses, one in Yutang and one in Jinkui; One of them is called Cuihua, the other is called Orchid, and there are two sisters who are loved to play and sing around him, both of them are sixteen or seventeen years old, one is Haitang, the other is Laurel, and they all serve in Chunmei's room.In Erniang Sun's room, there is only one maid named He Hua'er.Every time in this small yamen, as long as Zhang Sheng hugs him outside to play, he will watch from the side when he encounters the garrison promotion hall.
At that time, the garrison promotion hall sat down, put up the notice board and went out, and people from all places came in.The first one was indeed Chen Jingji and the prostitute Zheng Jinbao.The garrison looked at the certificate, and saw that the economy was wounded, and said, "You are a Taoist priest. If you don't abide by the clear rules, how can you be a prostitute, drink alcohol, and harass my place? It's a loss!" After chasing the ultimatum, she returned to vulgarity. The whore, Mrs. Zheng, slapped her for fifty blows, and ordered her to return to the court to serve as an errand."
The military prisons on both sides stepped forward, and waited to overthrow the economy, spread out the clothes, tied them up with ropes, and turned the sticks. When the two sides greeted each other, the small yamen, who was watching on the platform in front of the hall, fluttered in Zhang Sheng's arms and rushed towards Chen Jingji Want him to hug.Zhang Sheng was afraid that the guard would see him, so he hurried in, and the small yamen burst into tears, crying until Chunmei was in front of him.
Chunmei asked him why he was crying.
Zhang Sheng then said: "The old man was giving a message in the hall. He hit Taoist Chen from the Yangong Temple, and he rushed to hug him. When the little one walked down, he cried."
When Chunmei heard that the surname was Chen, she couldn't help but lightly moved her lotus steps, frowned her skirt, walked to the back of the soft screen and looked around. Seeing the man's face and appearance, and hearing his painful voice, she looked like Chen. Ji Ji couldn't help wondering: "Why did he become a Taoist priest?" So he called Zhang Sheng and asked, "Who is this person's name?"
Zhang Shengdao: "This Taoist confession was 24 years old last year, and his common name is Chen Jiji."
Chunmei secretly said: "It's him." On the one hand, Zhang Sheng: "Please come down your master."
The garrison was beating the economy in the hall, and he had only hit ten sticks, while still beating the prostitute. Suddenly, when he heard that his wife had invited him, he ordered the jailer to stop the stick and stop beating, and came down the hall.
Chunmei said: "The Taoist priest you beat is my aunt's cousin, let me spare him."
The guard said: "Madam didn't say earlier, I have already beaten him ten sticks, what can I do?" He hurried out of the hall and told the prisoner: "Let them all go with me!"
Chunmei was about to ask Zhang Sheng to invite Ji Ji to meet her in the back hall when she suddenly remembered something and thought to herself, "Pull out the sores in front of my eyes and fix my heart. If the sores in front of my eyes don't go away, how can I fix my heart?" So he told Zhang Sheng: "You call that man now, and I will call him again after I take my time."
The Taoist priest thought that Chen Jingji hadn't returned to the rice shop last night, but suddenly he heard someone say, "Your disciple Chen Zongmei was keeping a whore, Zheng Jinbaoer, in a big restaurant, and offended Liu Er, a land tiger in Sajiadian. You're so stinky, even the whore is tied up, and you have to go to the garrison, if you don't do it well, you, the master, will also be interrogated, and you will be sent back to the official after the death certificate." The Taoist heard this, and one of them was old. Frightened, the two were fat and fat. When they opened the suitcase, they saw that there was not much soft gold and silver left. They breathed heavily, and phlegm came up, and they passed out on the ground.All the disciples rushed forward to help, and asked the doctor to pour the medicine, and passed out. In the middle of the night, he breathed out and died. He died at the age of 63.
Therefore, when Chen Jingji was released from the garrison mansion, a neighbor told him on the way: "How dare you go back to the temple? Your master was so angry because of you that he died at midnight last night."
After hearing this, the economy hurriedly frightened like a dog in mourning, and hurried back to Qinghe County like a fish slipping through the net.
Chunmei dismissed the money, went back to the room, took off the crown, took off the embroidered clothes, fell on the bed, felt the quilt, and cried out for pain.It made everyone in the house panic.The next room, Erniang Sun, came to ask: "The eldest grandma is fine, why is it so bad?"
Chunmei said: "Go ahead and leave me alone."
The garrison retreated to the hall and came in. Seeing her like this, he also panicked, took her hand and asked, "What's on your mind?"
Chunmei was silent.
"Which provoked you?"
Chunmei remained silent.
"Is it because I hit your brother just now, are you annoyed?"
Chunmei still didn't answer.
The guard was helpless, so he went out of the room to call Zhang Sheng and Li An, and troubled them both: "You two, if you knew he was your grandma's brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? But you taught me to hit him ten times, It made your grandma feel uncomfortable. I taught you to keep him and ask your grandma to meet him, why did you let him go again? You two should decide!"
Zhang Sheng said: "The young one once reported to grandma, and grandma told him to teach him to go, so the young one let him go."
The two walked into the room, weeping and pleading with Chunmei: "I hope grandma can say something conveniently in front of the master. Otherwise, the master will punish the younger ones."
When Chunmei heard this, she opened her starry eyes, raised her moth eyebrows, and called the guards to come closer and said, "I don't feel good about myself, what can I do to them? That guy doesn't keep his duty, he is a Taoist priest outside. Don't worry about him for a while." , wait for me to admit him slowly."
The guard saw that she was only screaming for pain, so Zhang Sheng invited a medical officer to take a pulse, and said: "The old lady is suffering from the disease of six desires and seven emotions, and she is very angry." Ask for the medicine.
How could Chunmei know how to take medicine? When she was on guard, she only took a sip. When the guard left, she scolded the girl Yuegui and poured the medicine on Yuegui's face. It was useless for Erniang Sun to persuade her.The girl Haitang was kind, and according to Sun Erniang's advice, she cooked a small pot of porridge thick with japonica millet and served it, but she was also scolded and almost beat him up.
After a long time, Chunmei called Lan Hua'er, the little girl, and told her, "I want some chicken soup. Go to the kitchen, face that prostitute servant, and teach him to wash his hands and make a good bowl of chicken soup with him." I will eat it. Teach her to put more sour bamboo shoots, and I will eat it if it is hot and sour."
Lan Hua'er didn't dare to neglect, she went to the kitchen and told Xue'e.
Chicken tip soup is a soup made from the tip of chicken breast wings, chopped.Xue'e hurriedly washed her hands and picked her nails, butchered two chickens, brushed them clean, picked the wing tips, chopped them into shreds with a sharp knife, added pepper, green onion, coriander, sour bamboo shoots, oil sauce, etc., and made a clear soup .Fill two cups, use a red lacquer plate, and teach the orchids to be taken to the room hot.
Chunmei looked at it under the lamp, took a sip, and cursed strangely: "Tell that whore and slave, what kind of soup do you make, the semen water is weak, and it tastes bad? This is not teaching me to eat, for no reason. Teach me to be angry!"
Lan Hua'er was afraid of being beaten, so she hurried to the kitchen and told Xue'e.Xue'e didn't say a word, swallowed her anger, sat down in the pot again, made another bowl, added more pepper, and taught the orchid to bring it to the room.
Chunmei thought it was too salty again, so she picked it up and poured it on the ground.Fortunately, the orchid hides quickly.Almost splashed all over.Chunmei scolded again: "Talk to that slave, she is not used to having sex with me! No matter how bad this is, teach her to ask for justice!"
After hearing this, Xue'e whispered: "Since when my sister has grown up like this, she will cheer up!"
Lan Hua heard this, and went back to the room to tell Chunmei.Chunmei straightened her willow eyebrows, her starry eyes widened, she gritted her silver teeth, her face flushed red, she shouted, "Take that whore slave here with me!"
After a while, three or four maidservants were used to drag Xue'e into the room.Chunmei was furious, grabbed her hair with one hand, stomped off the crown on her head, and scolded: "You whore and slave, how did you say you were so big? It wasn't your Ximenqing family who made me so big! I bought you to serve me, you are not angry. I teach you how to make mouth soup, it is either bland or bitter. You are still talking to the girl, what do I want you for!" , pulled Xue'e out of the room, and knelt in the courtyard.Zhang Sheng and Li An were ordered to strip her of her clothes and beat her with thirty sticks.
The family members on both sides lighted and waved the lanterns brightly, and Zhang Sheng and Li An each held a big stick to serve them.Xue'e just refused to take off her clothes.Chunmei was probably angry with the defense, so she dared not speak in front of her.Sun Erniang persuaded again and again: "Beat her as much as grandma tells you, don't take off her little clothes, and take off her clothes to the servants, he is not good-looking. I just hope grandma will hold her hands high."
Chunmei refused, and said, "Who's stopping me? I'll throw the child to death first, and then I'll just hang her with a rope. It's fine to keep her in this house!" Stretched in a coma and unconscious.
The guard hurriedly helped her up and said, "Fight as you like, I'm not mad at you."
Poor at the moment, she dragged Sun Xue'e to the ground, took off her clothes, and beat her with thirty sticks until her skin was torn to pieces.He also asked the prisoner to call Mrs. Xue to come in the middle of the night, and immediately took him out to sell with all his body.
Chunmei called Mrs. Xue behind her back and told her: "I only want eight taels of silver, and I will sell this prostitute slave to me in a whore house. You can earn as much as you want, and I don't care about you. If you sell it elsewhere, I will find out. Just stop seeing me."
Sister-in-law Xue said: "Where can I live? Why don't I follow your advice? Don't worry!" That night, she brought Xue'e home.
Xue'e cried bitterly until dawn.
Mrs. Xue persuaded: "Stop crying. It's your bad luck. The enemy bumped into each other. It's all right for the master to see you. I only blame you for having some old grudges with her. At this time, I come to frustrate you. The master can't do it." Master, seeing that she has a child, I must follow her. Sun Erniang also has to give her a little bit. As the saying goes: "Traveling rice turned out to be a warehouse officer. Don't cry if you can't say it."
Xue'e shed tears and thanked Mrs. Xue: "I just hope to find a good brain sooner or later. I'll go and have something to eat."
Mrs. Xue said: "She must have ordered me to send you to a prostitute. I have to raise children and raise a daughter, and I have to be reasonable. Wait for me to find a single husband and a single wife; or marry a small broker's family to support you. You come too."
Xue'e is very grateful, thank you Mrs. Xue.
The next day, Mama Zhang, who runs a shop next door, came and called, "Mama Xue, what kind of lady is there next door to you, why did you cry so miserably last night?"
Mrs. Xue said: "Mother Zhang, please come in and sit down. This is the lady. She came from an adult's family. Because she couldn't get along with the eldest lady, she was sent out to marry with me. I would rather find a single husband and a single wife, so as not to get married. get angry."
"I have a customer who sells cotton flowers from Shandong. His surname is Pan, ranking fifth, and he is 37 years old. Several carts of flowers and fruits are often placed in the old body shop. The day before yesterday, he said that his mother was sick, and she was in her 70s. His wife died for about half a year, and no one waited on him. He told me again and again to protect his head. In my opinion, this lady is about the same age, so marry him and be a lady." Zhang Ma said.
"To tell you the truth, old man, this lady comes from a family, and she can do everything, no matter how big or small. Needless to say, she can make good soup. I'm only 35 years old this year. My family only needs 30 taels of silver. It's better to keep him." Mrs. Xue started asking for the price.
"Is there a cage?" Mama Zhang was also amazing.
"It's just that she has clothes, hairpin rings, etc., and she doesn't have a cage." Mrs. Xue had to tell the truth.
"Since that's the case, I'll go back and tell that person, tell him to come and take a look." After Zhang Ma finished speaking, she ate tea and went back.
After dinner the next day, he really brought a man to see him, and he bargained for 25 taels, and he got a matchmaker's money with Mrs. Xue.Mrs. Xue didn't compete, so she took the money and wrote the paperwork.Wanxi sent the man there, and at five o'clock the next day, the man thanked Zhang's mother and led Sun Xue'e into the car and got up.Mrs. Xue taught people to change the paperwork, and only exchanged eight taels of silver, handing it over to the mansion and Chunmei to collect it, and only said that she had sold it to a prostitute.
Xue'e followed Pan Wu in the car and came to Linqing, thinking that she had found a single husband, and she was a little happy.At this time, the weather is in June, the days are long, and it is only the west of Linqing Wharf.When I arrived at Sajiadian, I entered a portal, and half of the house was covered with earth kang.Sitting on the kang was a woman in her 60s and [-]s, and an old girl in her seventeenth or eighteenth year, with her hair in a bun, her pink lips painted, and soft silk clothes, playing on the edge of the kang. play pipa.Xue'e cried out bitterly, only to realize that she was still sold into a whorehouse. This man Pan Wu was a confidante who bought her to make fans.
Pan Wu entered the house regardless of length, beat up Xue'e, slept with her for two nights, and only ate two bowls of food with her. He named her "Yu'er", taught her to play musical instruments, and learned how to play and sing. He beat him again, until his body was covered in blue and red.Leading the way, Fang and her dress up, dress up, stand in front of the door, lean on the door and smile, with mocking eyes.
One day, Zhang Sheng was sent by the garrison to buy dozens of wine koji in the river and make wine in his house.Seeing his brother-in-law coming, Liu Er, the ground tiger of this Sajia restaurant, cleaned up the restaurant quickly. In the upper class pavilion, he arranged wine and food cups and plates, all kinds of fresh fruits, good wine and live fish. Zhang Sheng was invited to sit on it and drink.He also ordered Bao'er, the wine doctor, to sieve the wine and call some singers to come up.Not long after, I only heard laughter by Hu Ti's bank. Generally, the four singers are the oldest, dressed like flowers, all wearing light gauze and soft silk clothes. The embroidered belt fluttered, and he bowed four times and stood beside him.
Zhang Sheng opened his eyes to watch, and saw a pink head in it, which looked very familiar, and when he looked closely, he thought to himself: It looks like the lady Xue'e sent by the grandma in the old man's house.How did she make this way, and how did she come here?
Xue'e recognized Zhang Sheng first, but she dared not make a sound.
Zhang Sheng then asked Liu Er: "Whose family does that fan belong to?"
Liu Er replied: "I will tell you my brother-in-law, she is Yuer from Pan Wuwu."
Zhang Sheng said: "This Pan Jiayu looks familiar to me." So he called her to come closer and asked her quietly: "Aren't you the snow girl in the master's house? How did you get here?"
After hearing this, Xue'e couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, and said, "It's hard to explain in one word." Then she told the story of being sold.
Zhang Shengping used to see that she was born well, and he was always in love with her.Xue'e was like an old acquaintance, she tried her best to persuade her to drink before the dinner, and the two agreed to enter Hong Kong.Xue'e inevitably picked up the pipa, sang the words "Four Dollars of Gold", and drank with Zhang Sheng:
I missed us in my previous life, so I owe him less lovesickness debts.In the middle of the wave, I can't hold back the concentric belt.Talking taught me that tears filled my cheeks, and I was bored and worried like a sea.Thousands of vows and alliances, where are they now?Bad talent, Zensheng wasted a lot of my love!
At the end of the singing, pass cups to each other for a change, lean on the green and cuddle up to the red, and when the meal is thick, Xue'e will fall in love with Zhang Sheng.In the evening, the two stayed in the pavilion and slept together.With Fengyue beside her pillow, Shanmeng beside her ears, she and Zhang Sheng try their best to linger, like a fish in water, it's hard to describe in every way.
The next day, after getting up and washing his head and face, Liu Er arranged for food and wine to be brought up early, and he and his brother-in-law supported the head.With a big plate and a big bowl, after a gluttonous meal, Zhang Sheng put away his luggage, fed his head, loaded with rice koji, and followed him to go back to Qinghe.Before going out, I gave Xue'e three taels of silver.He also told Liu Er: "Take care of her, don't teach others to bully her."
Since then, when Zhang Shengdan came to Hexia, he met Xue'e at Sajiadian.Walking back and forth, with Pan five taels of silver every month, he covered her and didn't allow anyone else.Then Liu Er wanted to make his brother-in-law happy, so he didn't even ask him for the rent, and scraped the future of each nest, and paid for Zhang Sheng, including Xue'e's firewood and rice.
From now on, Sun Xue'e's life is much better.
