Chapter 21 Entering the Garrison Mansion to Renew the Old and Welcome the New to Open a Big Restaurant to Make Money and Buy Love
Chen Jingji entered the garrison mansion, took a bath in fragrant soup, and refreshed himself.Chunmei invited him to the back hall, dressed up in full makeup, and came out to meet each other.When the economy enters the door, Wang Chunmei bows four times and eight times.Chunmei received a half-respect, and sat down opposite each other; while talking about parting, both of them had tears in their eyes.
Chunmei listened to his experience of being in trouble and wandering, and said: "The last time you were taken into the government office, the guard didn't know that you were my relative, so I beat you by mistake, and I regret it very much. If not, I would have kept you at that time. However, there is that bitch Xue'e here with me, so I put you in again, so I let you go. After sending that bitch away, Zhang Sheng and Li An searched for you everywhere. Who knew that you were working outside the city and living in exile As for this point."
The maid brought tea, and the two of them ate, and taught the maid to accept the cup.The two talked again, and both cried when they were sad.
Chunmei was afraid that the garrison was about to retreat into the living room, so she whispered to Ji Ji: "Wait a minute, if he asks you, he will only say that he is a cousin. I am one year older than you. I am 25 years old. I was born at noon on April 25th."
The economy nodded quickly: "I see."
Just as he was talking, the guard retreated into the hall and opened the curtains left and right.Chen Jingji hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down.The garrison returned the gift and said: "Xiang Ri didn't know that he was a good brother. He was concealed by his subordinates. There was a collision by mistake. Don't blame the good brother."
Jiji said: "I'm not only defiled, I've always been impolite, I've lost closeness, I hope to beg forgiveness." Kowtow again.The guard pulled him up with one hand and asked him to sit up.If you are economical, you will not be willing, so you must pull down the chair and sit next to it.Guarding the closed seats, Chunmei sat down opposite him.
After a while, when the tea was served and finished eating, the guard asked, "My dear brother Gui Geng? Why haven't you seen me all this time? How did you become a monk?"
The economy told me: "My younger brother wasted 24 years old. My sister is one year older than me. She was born at noon on April 25. Both parents died, the family business withered, and his wife died. She became a monk in Yangong Temple. I don't know." My sister is married in the mansion, so I miss visiting her."
The guard said: "Since the day when my virtuous brother left, you have made my sister worry day and night, and you are always chirping and chirping, until now. You have always kept people from looking for my virtuous brother. I don't expect to meet you today. It is a fate for three lives."
So, he ordered the tables to be placed on the left and right, and arranged for the wine to be served.After a while, many cups and plates, chicken hoofs, geese and ducks, cooking cans, steamed frying, soup, rice and snacks were piled up on the table.The silver pot and jade cup, the wine is full of golden waves.The garrison minister will accompany you in the conversation, and eat until the evening, with a candle in your palm.
He also ordered to clean up the academy, where there are bed curtains in the study.Chunmei took out two beds, quilts and pillows for him to rest in, and called a servant, Xi'er, to promise him two sets of silk clothes for him to change.For the daily meal, Chunmei invited him to eat at the back.
Good times are easy, unknowingly, the economy has lived in the defense mansion for more than a month.This day, April 25th, was Chunmei's birthday.Wu Yueniang bought Lilly, a plate of birthday peaches, two plates of birthday noodles, two geese in soup, four fresh chickens, two plates of fruit, and a jar of southern wine.Da'an wears Tsing Yi and sends it with a post. When he sees the guard, he kneels on the ground and kowtows.
The guard looked at the gift post and said, "Thank you for your grandmother's troubles, and bring a gift." At the same time, he told his family: "Take the gift, and ask for tea to eat with the senior officials. Teach the boy to give the gift post to your uncle." Accept it, seal a handkerchief, three coins and a senior official, and pay one hundred coins to the person who carried the box. Take the reply and reply more." After finishing speaking, the guard put on his clothes, got up and went out to visit people.
Dai'an only waited in front of the hall to ask for the post. He saw a young man, wearing a corrugated hat, green gauze gown, sandals and clean socks, coming out of the corner door, holding the post and reward money to the servant. went all the way to the back.Dai'an felt familiar, and thought to himself: "This is weird, he looks like brother-in-law Chen, why is he here?"
Dai'an returned home and told Yueniang about it.
Yue Niang didn't believe it, and said: "Blame the prisoner, don't talk nonsense! That lamb, who knows where to beg for food, will either freeze to death or starve to death. What is he doing in that mansion for nothing? The guard knows what kind of porn he is. What's the use of recruiting him?"
Dai'an said: "Grandma dares to bet with me? I see the truth, even if he is burned to ashes, I will recognize him."
Yueniang still didn't believe it.
In the garrison mansion, Chen Jingji took the Yueniang gift card to the back to show Chunmei, and asked, "How did her family send you a gift, and why?"
Chunmei then talked about the relationship between the two families.
Hearing this, Ji Ji glanced at Chunmei and said, "Sister, you are so unambitious! Thinking about this whore, she broke up our sisters and killed my sixth sister, and she will live forever for thousands of years." Well, it’s better if we don’t meet inside and outside the door. You talk about favors for her instead? Even if Wu Dian’en tortured Ping’an’s boy, confessed his adultery, and tied her with a rope to her adulteress, she made a fool of herself to see the official, and took care of our legs Something! She didn't have an affair with Xiao'an, why did she match the girl Xiaoyu with him? If I were here, I would not teach you to speak for her. She is your enemy, and what are you doing with her? ? It's cloudy in June, it's such a sunny day for her!"
A few words left Chunmei speechless.After a long time, Chunmei said: "It's all about the past. It's my heart not to miss the old grudge."
"Nowadays people, good intentions are not rewarded well!"
"Since she gave the gift, why don't you accept it for nothing? I'm still waiting for my people to invite her to go."
"Ignore that prostitute from now on, why invite her?"
"It's embarrassing not to invite her, just leave a message to her, and it's fine if you come or not. If you are at the academy when she comes, don't come out to see her. Let's not provoke her in the future. "
Seeing what Chunmei said, Ji Ji didn't say a word, and walked to the front.After writing the post, Chunmei sent her family member Zhou Yi to invite Wu Yueniang.
Yueniang dresses up and goes out to get into the sedan chair. Grandma Ruyier holds Brother Xiao and sits in a small sedan chair. Dai'an follows and arrives at the garrison mansion.Chunmei and Sun Erniang all dressed up, greeted them in the back hall, met each other for a ceremony, and sat down.Ruyi'er hugged Brother Xiao and kowtowed to each other.Set tea, set up a table, serve wine, while two prostitutes Han Yuchuan and Zheng Jiaoer played and sang.
Dai'an was put under guard in the front wing.I saw a young servant taking out a plate of soup, rice, snacks and vegetables from behind, and walked towards the Xijiaomen Academy.Dai'an then asked him, "Who will you eat with?"
"I ate it with my uncle."
"What's your uncle's name?"
"The last name is Chen."
Dyan followed quietly behind him again.When we arrived at the West Academy, the servant opened the curtain and went in.Dai'an opened the screen window and looked in. It was Chen Jingji who was leaning on the bed in the study. Seeing the food coming in, he got up quickly and set the table to eat.Dai'an quietly walked out again, still sitting in the wing room.
When she came home at night, Dai'an told Yueniang everything she had seen.Yueniang had no choice but to believe it, and was unhappy in her heart.In addition, Chunmei's side was blocked by the economy, and since then, the two families have no contact with each other.
The economy secretly colluded with Chunmei in the garrison mansion, and no one knew about it.When the guard is not at home, Chunmei eats and drinks with the economy in the room, plays chess and jokes in their spare time, and they do everything.When the guard was at home, he asked the girl and servant to take food to the academy to eat with him.During the day, Chunmei would often come to the academy and sit with him for half a day before returning to the back.
One day, the garrison leaders went on a tour.It was the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and Chunmei set up a banquet in the flower pavilion of Xishuyuan, had realgar wine with Sun Erniang and Chen Jingjing, and had fun with rice dumplings.Maids and concubines serve on both sides, and Begonia and Yuegui play and sing in front of the banquet.Right now, until the scorching sun was setting in the west and the drizzle was cooling down, Chunmei picked up a big golden lotus cup to persuade her.After a few rounds of drinking, Sun Erniang was overwhelmed with alcohol, so she got up and went to the back room.Du Luoxia Chunmei and Ji Ji are having wine on the flower pavilion, guessing the order, you have a drink, I have a drink.After a while, the maid came up with a gauze lantern in her hand, and the adoptive mother Jin Kui and Yu Tang sent Jin Geer to bed.When the economy loses, he walks into the study and cannot hide from the wine.
Chunmei sent Haitang to invite him first, and then sent Yuegui to invite him when he saw that the economy was not coming, and ordered: "If he doesn't come, you should come with me anyway. If he doesn't come, I will slap you bitch ten times when he comes back." .”
Yue Gui came and pushed open the door of the study, and saw that Ji Ji was lying on the bed, pretending to be snoring and sleeping, and not moving.Yuegui said: "Grandma taught me to invite you, old man. If you don't go, you will beat me."
Ji Ji murmured, "It's none of my business to beat you. I'm drunk and can't eat."
Yuegui pulled him up hard and pushed him: "I'll pull you anyway, if I can't pull you, I'm not a good man."
The economy was in a hurry, Hei Yingli pretended to be drunk, and he took the prank seriously, and kissed Yue Gui in his arms.
As soon as Yuegui raised her head, she said, "People have kindly told you to do something wrong, and you're doing this for a living!"
Ji Ji said with a smile: "my son, if you are willing, which good intention will not make a big deal?" He kissed again and then walked to the flower pavilion.
Chunmei ordered Haitang to serve the big clock, and the two played chess and gambled for fun.Now you play one game, I play one game, and the maid fell asleep.Chunmei sent laurel and crabapple to fetch tea from behind.So the two of them were on the flower pavilion, Xie Peilu looked like a jade, and their vermilion lips touched the fragrance of the Han Dynasty.
The two of them were doing well, when Haitang suddenly brought tea and said, "Grandma, please go later, brother Jin woke up, crying and looking for grandma."
Chunmei drank two more cups of wine with Ji Ji, rinsed her mouth with tea, and then walked back.Xi'er helped the economy and returned to the study to sleep.
A few days later, the imperial edict came down, ordering the garrison to lead the headquarters, together with Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Jezhou Prefecture, to conquer Song Jiang, the thief king of Liangshan Po, and get up sooner or later.The guard said to Chunmei: "You take good care of your brother at home and ask a matchmaker to find a marriage for your brother. I will bring his name to the military gate. If he succeeds by luck, the court will favor him and promote him to an official position. It is up to you." There is also a radiance on the face."
Chunmei agreed.Two days later, the garrison packed up and organized the troops, leaving Zhang Sheng and Li An to watch the house, and only took his family Zhou Ren to follow.
Sending the guards away, Chunmei called Mrs. Xue, told her about finding relatives for the economy, and said, "His father is going to give instructions on this matter. You can find me a good family for my daughter, whether she is sixteen or seventeen years old." , as long as you look good, your hands are smarter. My brother is also a bit stubborn."
Mrs. Xue said: "I know, I don't need your old man's orders. Thinking about it before, he still hates how big sister waited!"
Chunmei said: "If you can't find it well, see if I will beat you. I will drive her to call you little concubine, so don't play tricks!" After speaking, she ordered the maid to serve tea with Mrs. Xue.
Chen Jingji happened to come in for dinner. Mrs. Xue saw her and said good luck to him, saying, "Uncle, you haven't seen me all this time. Where are you coming from?" How can I thank you?"
Chen Jingji kept his face calm and said nothing.
Mrs. Xue said, "Old man, why don't you speak?"
Chunmei said: "Don't call him Uncle, that's been covered, you can just call him Uncle Chen."
Mrs. Xue said: "You should only hit me like a dog, and you will call me wrong. From now on, I will only call you uncle!"
Chen Jingji couldn't help laughing "puchi", and said, "This is what I like."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she acted foolishly, hurriedly hit him, and said, "You old bastard, you said good things, and I wasn't alluded to by you, so why do you care about me?"
Chunmei also smiled.After a while, Yuegui brought tea and food to eat with Mrs. Xue.After talking again, Mrs. Xue took her flower box and bid farewell to go out.
In less than three days, Mrs. Xue came back and said: Let me tell you something first, she is Miss Zhu Qianhu's family in the city, she is 15 years old this year, and she can be married as a dowry.
Chunmei doesn't like it too small.
Another one is Earl Ying's second daughter, who is 22 years old.
Chunmei thought Earl Ying was dead and had no dowry, so she returned the wedding invitation.
A few days later, Mrs. Xue brought flowers, and took out a wedding post from her sleeve. On the red satin, it was written that it was the eldest daughter of the satin shop owner's family. She was 20 years old and belonged to the rooster. Born in five days, small characters Cuiping.Mrs. Xue said that she was born with a picture-like appearance, with short stature and melon-like skin, gentle and elegant, intelligent, not to mention a needleworker; her parents are both present, and she has tens of thousands of dollars. She runs a satin shop on the street and travels to Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. , The extremely good people are all Nanjing bed tents and cages.
Only then did Chunmei agree: "Since it's good, let's take care of this family."
Mrs. Xue went to Yuan Ge's family to communicate with her. Ge Yuan's family knew that she was in the garrison mansion and was willing to be a relative, so she asked a matchmaker Zhang to go with her.Chunmei prepared two loads of tea leaves, wedding cakes, and soup fruits here, and taught Sun Erniang to take a sedan chair to Yuan Ge's house to betroth her daughter and wear a ring.
Sun Erniang came back and said to Chunmei: "Sure enough, she is a beautiful woman, she is like a flower, and she is quite good."
Chunmei chooses an auspicious day here, accepting lottery as a salute, sixteen plates of soup, fruit and tea cakes, two plates of top noodles, two plates of pearls, four pieces of wine, two sheep, one topknot, a full set of gold and silver hairpin rings, two A grosgrain robe, four-season clothes, cotton cloth and silk, and 20 taels of gift silver.Yin and Yang students choose to marry on the eighth day of June.
Chunmei first asked Mrs. Xue: "Is there a maid in her house?"
Mrs. Xue said: "There are bed curtains, make-up dowry, gold-painted chests and cabinets, but there is no maid to accompany the bed."
Chunmei said: "Let's buy a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl here, and let her play around in the room. It's more convenient to pour water from the bucket."
Mrs. Xue said: "There are two girls who are sold by others. I will bring one tomorrow."
The next day, Mrs. Xue really took a girl and said: "The girl in the son's house of the merchant Huang Si's family is only 13 years old this year. Huang Siyin used the money and food from the lower officials, and Li San's family and the security officer who went out from our family My son, I took it to the prison to recover the stolen goods because of this official matter. I was imprisoned for more than a year, the family property was wiped out, and the house was sold. Li San died first, and his son was imprisoned. The son of our security officer, Seng Baoer, is now Living outside, with others and horses."
Chunmei asked, "Are you here for protection?"
Mrs. Xue said: "He is not called Lai Bao now, but changed his name to Tang Bao."
"This girl is a girl from Huang Si's family, how much money do you want?"
"Just four and a half taels of silver, and I'm waiting to hand over the spoils."
"What four and a half, keep it with him."
Chunmei said, took out three or five dollars in Xuehua official silver, wrote the paperwork, bought the general girl, changed her name, and called it Qianqian.
On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, Chunmei dresses up in a beaded and emerald phoenix crown, wears a red robe with full sleeves, a gold and jasper belt, sits in a four-person sedan chair, plays drums and plays lanterns, marries a woman from the Ge family, and passes by the door with geese.Chen Jingji rode a big white horse, picked up a silver saddle and bridle, shouted from the Tsing Yi soldier, with two golden flowers on his head.When they arrived at the garrison mansion, the newlyweds landed in a sedan chair, wearing a red gold cover, makeup and food, holding a vase, and entered the gate.The yin and yang students lead into the painting hall, visit the family hall first, and then return to the bridal chamber.Chunmei made him sit in the tent, and then came out.After the yin and yang students spread the tent, they sent out the happy money, and the drummers all dispersed.Ji and this Miss Ge Cuiping sat back to pay the bill, rode a horse and lit a lantern, went to the father-in-law's house to thank relatives, and returned home drunk.
In the evening, the girl is beautiful and talented, so it is inevitable that Yan Er is newly married and having sex.The economy and Miss Ge's family can get along well. The two mandarin ducks under the quilt and the phoenix in the tent are like fish like water, and they have fun together.
After the meal in three days, Chunmei held a banquet in the back hall of the mansion hall, played drums and music, and invited relatives to eat and drink.From then on, every day Chunmei ate, she would invite the two of them to eat together in the room, calling each other aunts, and sitting together.Girl and adoptive mother, family daughter-in-law, who dares to say no?Chunmei tidied up three rooms in the west wing to make a room with them. The inside was covered with bed nets, turned as neatly as a snow cave, with curtains hanging down.The west academy outside is the economic study room, which also has beds, a few seats, ancient books, and guards the incoming and outgoing letters and invitations.He handed over manuscripts and posts from everywhere, or registered books, or sealed letters from imperial envoys. There are pens and inkstones in the study room, and the shelves are full of books.Chunmei came to the academy from time to time to sit and chat with the economy.The friendship between the two secretly lasted for more than a month.
The good news came that Zhou Shoubei and Zhang Zhifu led Ma Zheng to suppress the thief Wang Songjiang in Liangshanbo. 36 people and more than ten thousand grass bandits were all recruited and the place was restored.The imperial court promoted Zhang Shuye to be the censor of the capital and the ambassador to appease Shandong, and promoted Zhou Xiu to be the military and horse system of Jinan, to manage the sub-patrol of the river and to investigate the thieves.The subordinates are recruited for meritorious service, and each is promoted to a higher level.Chen Jingji's name was carried at the military gate, and he was promoted to the post of staff officer. He was given two stones of rice every month, and he was crowned with honor.The garrison received the edict in mid-October, and led the people to Malai's house. First, let people come to report to Chunmei's house.
Chunmei was full of joy, so Chen Jingji, Zhang Sheng, and Li An went out of the city to meet her.In the hall of the house, there is a feast of wine and banquets to celebrate the official congratulations, and there are countless officials who come to pay respects and give gifts.
Dismount from the guard and enter the back hall, followed by Chunmei and Sun Erniang.At the end of the visit, Chen Jingjing changed his clothes and towels, put on a red collar, a crown hat, soap boots, and horn belts, and met with his bride, Ge Shi.When the guard saw a good woman, he rewarded her with a set of clothes and ten taels of silver for jewelry.
In the evening, Chunmei and the guard were drinking in the room, discussing some household matters.Chunmei said: "It took a lot of money to marry my brother."
The guard said: "Oh, you are only this brother. You come here without a wife, so there is no reason for your future. You just spent a few taels of silver, and you never did it for others."
Chunmei said: "You have earned this future for him again today, it is enough to honor him, enough."
The guard said: "The imperial court has issued an order. I will take up my post in Jinan in a few days. You can look after the house at home, manage some capital, teach him to be a supervisor, and do some big and small businesses. In three or five days, teach him to go down and check the accounts. Earning some interest is enough for him to mess around."
Chunmei said, "You're right."
Zhou Shoubei only stayed at home for ten days. In the first ten days of November, he packed up and led Zhang Sheng and Li An to Jinan to take up his post, leaving Zhou Ren and Zhou Yi to look after the house.Chen Jingji sent it to Yongfu Temple to return.
After a few days, Chunmei told the economy about the defense.The economy listens to the words and is full of joy.One day, while walking in front of the street, looking for a supervisor, he accidentally bumped into his old friend Lu Erlang Lu Bingyi.The two narrated the ceremony and said goodbye to each other.
Lu Bingyi told Chen Jingji: "Yang Dalang abducted your goods, and now he hired Xie Sanlang as his clerk to open the Xie Family Restaurant at Linqing Wharf. It’s good to get big interest.”
Ji Ji said: "I'm just looking for this guy. I saw him once last year. He beat me up mercilessly and was saved by a friend. I hate him to the bone!" So he pulled Lu Erlang into a hotel beside the road , The two went upstairs to eat wine.He said again: "How to deal with him, let me out?"
Lu Bingyi said: "It's a good saying: hate a little man, he's not a poisonous man, he's not a husband. Let's tell him the truth now, but he will definitely refuse. This guy doesn't recognize an old friend now. He doesn't cry when he sees the coffin. I have a little brother Strategy: Brother doesn’t need to do other business, just write a complaint, sue him, chase after your goods and money, and seize this restaurant. Add some capital, and partner with Xie Sanlang, and I will help you The shopkeeper sells, Xie Sanlang is in charge, brother, you go down every three to five days to check the accounts. If you manage the situation for a month, you can earn a hundred and ten taels of silver in interest, which is better than doing other businesses."
Hearing this, Ji Ji was right on his mind, hurriedly bowed to Lu Bingyi, and said, "Your brother, what you said is right. I will tell my brother-in-law and sister when I get home. When the business is completed, brother An Xian and Xie Sanlang will do it together." director."
At that moment, the two ate wine and came downstairs.The economy paid for the drink and told Lu Erlang: "Second brother Lu, brother, please be careful, I will invite you to go if you have something to do."
Lu Erlang said: "I know."
When the economy returned home, he told Chunmei everything.
Chunmei said: "How can I care if his master is not here?"
The old family member Zhou Zhong said: "It doesn't matter. When my uncle writes a certificate, how much silver and goods should be abducted, and I will seal it with a letter of thanks from my grandfather. Wait for the younger one to be sent to the two officials of the prison. Under the case, take this man surnamed Yang to the yamen, beat him up and question him, I'm not afraid that the guy won't come up with the money."
The economy was overjoyed, and he immediately started to deal with it, so Zhou Zhong was sent to the prison.When He Qianhu and Zhang Erguan Qianhu met at the Mentoring Office, they decided to make a point, even if it was approved, and sent the commission to arrest and arrest Yang Guangyan and Yang Dalang in Linqing.He returned another greeting card, paid it to Zhou Zhong, and said, "Support your grandfather and grandmother when you get home, and wait for me to chase out the silver taels and wait for you to get it."
In less than two days, Fanzhuo brought Yang Dalang and his brother Yang Erfeng to the yamen in Qinghe County.The two officials interrogated Chen Jingji, beat him up, and imprisoned him for several days. They recovered 350 taels of silver, 50 barrels of raw eyecloth, and a total of 900 taels of house fires in the rest of the hotel.Chen's economic certificate claimed 350 taels, which was still 50 taels short. He sold the house for [-] taels, and his family property was wiped out.
Chen Jingji and Xie Sanlang partnered to open this big restaurant.Chunmei managed another 500 taels of capital, a total of 1000 taels, and appointed Lu Bingyi as the supervisor to redecorate the restaurant, paint and paint, make the rails bright, the buildings bright and new, the tables and tables are bright, and the wine and food are neat.On the day of opening, drums and music are playing in the sky, shengxiao is playing, merchants and prostitutes are invited.Chen Jingji sacrificed pigs and burned paper.
The economy was happy, and went upstairs, only to see that the big restaurant is surrounded by brightly lit windows, green and dry.Looking around, the clouds and mountains are stacked, and the sky and water are connected.Looking from the east, you can see Daiyue with green snail piles; looking from the west, you can see the vast mist enclosing the imperial capital; looking from the north, you can see the vermilion towers built on top of each other; looking from the south, you can see the mighty Changhuai River like Sulian.There are hundreds of pavilions upstairs and down, where dancing skirts and singing prostitutes are everywhere, and there are many strings in a hurry.It's indescribable that the food is like a mountain, and the wine is like a wave.So, from the beginning of the opening in the first half of the first month, three to fifty taels of silver were also sold a day, all of which were handled by Xie Sanlang and Lu Bingyi, who were in charge of the cabinet.The economy rides on Toukou for three or five days, followed by the servant Xi'er, and goes to Linqing to settle accounts once.Come, Lu Bingyi and Xie Sanlang tidy up a clean room upstairs, spread out bed curtains, set up tables and chairs, set up banquets, ask four good friends to accompany them, and Chen San'er, who measures wine, goes back and forth to serve.
Gradually entering March, the spring is bright and beautiful, the scenery is fragrant, the embankment is green and the willows are full, and the red apricot and peach are brilliant.One day, when Chen Jingji came to settle accounts, he set up the green railing on the upper floor, looked at the scenery downstairs, and suddenly saw two boats moored by the river, carrying many boxes, cages, tables, stools and fires, and four or five people were moving into the building. Come down to the empty room.There were two women on the boat, a middle-aged woman with a long, slender figure and a purple chest; a young woman, who was white and beautiful, about 20 years old, was getting off the boat and walking into the house.
Ji Ji hurriedly went downstairs and asked Director Xie: "Who is this person? He moved into my house without asking why."
Director Xie said: "These are two women from Tokyo. They can't find relatives, and they have nowhere to look for a house for a while. My neighbor Fan Lao said that I will go there after staying for two or three days. I just want to report to the officials. I don't want to The officer came to ask."
The economy was about to get angry, when I saw the little woman leaning forward that year, looking forward to the economy and wishing deeply, saying: "Officials, please calm down. It is not the job of the supervisor. It is the boldness of the slave family, out of helplessness. It is too early Come to the house to report, begging for forgiveness. Ronglue lived for three to five days, asked for rent, and then moved out."
Seeing that the little woman could talk, Ji Ji just looked up and down at her.The woman has star eyes, looking sideways at the economy.Two emotions and four eyes, can't concentrate.Ji Ji didn't say a word, but secretly said in his heart: "It seems like I've never seen it before, it looks so familiar."
The slender middle-aged woman next to her had been staring at Ji Ji for a long time, and said, "Officer, are you Uncle Chen from Mr. Ximen's family?"
Chen Jingji was taken aback, and blurted out, "How do you recognize me?"
The woman said: "To tell you the truth, my uncle is my old friend Han Daoguo's wife, and this is my daughter Aijie."
Then Ji Ji recognized the woman as Wang Liuer, and asked, "Aren't you two in Tokyo? How did you come here? Where is your husband?"
Wang Liu'er said, "Watch the fire on the boat."
The economy hastily ordered Chen San'er to invite him to meet him.
Han Daoguo came to bow to him, his temples were already grey, because he said: "Cai Taishi, Tong Taiwei, Li Youxiang, Zhu Taiwei, Gao Taiwei, and Li Eunuch in the middle of the court were all sent by Chen Dong, the son of Taixue Guozi. I participated in impeachment in the first book, but was overthrown by Ke Daojiao. The imperial decree came down and sent to the three jurisprudence for questioning. The smoky ground was sent to the army forever. The son of the grand master Cai You, the Minister of Rites, was executed, and his family property was confiscated. The three of us The children escaped separately and went to my brother in Qinghe County. He sold the house and disappeared. The three of them hired a boat to come from the river. They didn't want to bump into their uncle here. The three of them were lucky. My uncle is still there today. Master Simon's house?"
Ji Ji shook his head and said, "I'm not at his house anymore. I served as a staff officer in my brother-in-law's garrison Lord Zhou's mansion. I wear a crown and honor. Recently, I joined forces with two guys and opened this hotel on this wharf. It's easy to live indiscriminately. Yes. Since the three of you met me, you don’t need to move, so you can live here, please feel free.”
Wang Liuer and Han Daoguo saluted together.Just go to move the firebox cage on the boat.The itching to see the economy also made Xiao Xi'er and Chen San'er go up to carry a few pieces of furniture for them.
Wang Liu'er said: "Don't bother my uncle to work hard." Jiji said: "You and I are one family, so why bother."
It was getting late, Ji Ji wanted to go home, and told the supervisor: "Send them some tea boxes tomorrow morning." Then get on the horse.Along the way, I was thinking about it, but I just let Sister Han Ai go, and I didn't sleep well all night.
This time, after only one day, he dressed up and came to Linqinghe Xia Da Restaurant, looking to do business.Han Daoguo sent the eight elders to invite him to tea.The economic heart is about to watch.When Sister Han Ai saw the economy coming, she smiled, said Wanfu, and said, "officials, please sit inside." She greeted the economy and sat down in the pavilion.Both Wang Liuer and Han Daoguo came to accompany him.
Let's have a little tea, and let's talk to each other about the past.If I can't afford it, I only focus on my beloved sister.Sister Ai is also salivating and staring at each other, her eyes are only on the economy, and they are interested in each other.Han Daoguo went out first.
Sister Ai asked, "How young are officials?"
Ji Ji said: "I wasted 26 years old. I respectfully ask my sister, what is youth?"
Sister Ai laughed and said: "The slave and the official were destined for a while, and they are also 26 years old. They met each other at the old man's house in the past, and now they are lucky to meet in the same place. It is a fate to meet thousands of miles away."
Wang Liu'er saw that the two of them agreed to enter Hong Kong, so he also left with an excuse.There are only these two people left. Sister Ai used some romantic talk to hook the economy.How can we not save the way that the economy has been used to since childhood?Get up and go out.This Sister Han Ai came from Tokyo, and she and her mother also did this kind of thing all the way. She used to be a concubine with Housekeeper Zhai in the Cai Mansion.Seeing that Ji Ji got up and went out, looking around for no one, he leaned against his body and said coquettishly, "Officer, lend me the golden hairpin on your head."
When the money was about to be pulled out, Sister Ai was already holding down his bun with one hand, and pulled out the hairpin with the other, and said, "I'll go upstairs with you to have a chat." Saying that, she walked upstairs.
Ji Ji went upstairs with her: "Sister, what can I say?"
Sister Ai said: "The slave and you are destined to be married in the past, so don't lie. I would like to share the joy of the pillow table and work together for the joy of flying."
Ji Ji said: "I'm afraid that someone here will feel it, but they can't make it."
Sister Ai made a lot of coquettish actions, hugged Ji Ji in her arms, and pulled off his pants with her sharp jade hands. Chen Ji Ji was so excited that he couldn't hold back.Sister Ai inevitably took off her clothes and lay on her back on the bed, and they had sex together.
Ji Ji asked, "What's your name?" Sister Ai replied, "I was born on the Dragon Boat Festival, so I'm called Fifth Sister, also known as Sister Ai."
After finishing speaking, the clouds collected and the rain dispersed in an instant, and they sat together leaning against each other.
Sister Ai said to the economy: "Since the three of us came out of Tokyo, we can't find relatives, and we are short of daily necessities. You have money to beg for five liang from my father, and you can pay it back with Lina. You can't resist it."
Economic promise: "It doesn't matter, my sister asks, just take five taels."
Sister Ai returned his golden hairpin.The two of them sat for another half a day, fearing that someone might be talking about the economy. After having a cup of tea, they wanted to go downstairs.Sister Ai left him for lunch, and said economically, "I have something to do over there, so I won't eat. I will send money to you in a while."
Sister Ai said: "In the afternoon, I will prepare a glass of water and wine. The officials don't want to see you, but come and have a sit."
Ji Ji ate lunch in the store, and walked around the street for a while. When he returned to the store, Director Lu told him: "Lao Han, who lives in there, invites officials to drink, and there is nowhere to find him." Come and invite: "Officials, please accompany the two supervisors, and there will be no other guests."
The economy went to the inner room with the two executives, and saw that the banquet had already been arranged neatly.In terms of economy, Han Daoguo is in charge, Lu and Xie are in charge, Wang Liuer and Aijie are sitting next to each other, and the eight elders go back and forth to sift wine and serve food.After several drinks, the two executives understood, got up and left.The economic capacity for drinking is not large, and he is already a little drunk.
Sister Ai asked, "The officials are not going home today."
Ji Ji also said: "It's too late now, I can't go back, get up and go tomorrow."
Wang Liuer and Han Daoguo ate for a while, and then went downstairs.Ji took out five liang of silver from his sleeve, handed it to Sister Ai to collect it, and handed it to Wang Liuer below.The two exchanged cups and cups, leaned against the green and nestled in the red, and ate until late at night.Sister Ai took off her heavy make-up, and stayed upstairs to rest in the attic.At present, the mountain alliance by the pillow, the oath of the sea in the quilt, the voice of the warbler and the language of swallows, all the music is ready.Ji Ji was overjoyed, just like that golden lotus, right in his heart, spending the night with her.
Woke up late the next day.Wang Liu'er arranged some chicken meat balls, made a brain, and supported his head.Two people had a few glasses of warm wine.After a while, the supervisor came to treat the economy to dinner.After washing up and eating, I came to bid farewell to Aijie.Sister Ai was reluctant to give up and just shed tears.
Ji Ji said: "I will come to see you in three or five days when I get home. Don't worry about it." After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and went.Along the way, he told Xiao Xi'er: "Don't talk about the Han family when you get home." Xiao Xi'er agreed.
When I went home economically, I was busy with the business in the store and calculated the accounts. I didn't realize that it was late and I couldn't return, so I rested all night.Delivering the interest silver to Chunmei will cost 30 taels once.Back in his room, Ge Cuiping said again: "Why did the officials rest outside all night. They must be walking on Liumohua Street. Leave me at home, alone in an empty room, and don't think about coming home!"
So Chen Jiji was kept for seven or eight days without letting him out.Chen Jingji had no choice but to ask Xiao Xier to ask the supervisor to calculate the interest.Sister Han Ai was in a hurry and missed her endlessly.Han Daoguo had to teach his wife Wang Liuer to provoke other acquaintances or businessmen to come and walk around the house and have tea and wine.This Han Daoguo had tasted this sweetness earlier, relying on his wife to support his family.What's more, Wang Liu'er is about 45 at this time. Although she is half a year old, she still has charm. It just so happens that her daughter will take over.This is an anonymous prostitute, a private nest.
Chen San'er, who was drinking wine, hooked up a Huzhou silk seller, He Guanren, who was in his fifties, for Han Daoguo.I have thousands of taels of silk and silk in my hand. I want to invite sister Ai.Sister Ai was obsessed with the economy, so she felt unhappy, so she refused to come downstairs after three requests and five requests.Then the official saw Wang Liu'er's tall figure, purple chest color, melon-seed skin, painted eyebrows, long temples, staring starry eyes, drunken eyes, and bright red lips, expected this woman It must be a good style, so I left a tael of silver, ate wine in the house, and rested with Wang Liuer all night.Han Daoguo took refuge outside for a while.Sister Ai saw that the mother had left guests, so she just stayed upstairs and didn't come down.Sure enough, He Guanren had good eyesight, and he was teased happily by Wang Liu'er. The two fought like coals, and from then on, they came to spend the night with the woman within three or two days.Han Daoguo was happy to collect the money.
Sister Han Ai saw that Ji Ji had gone but never came, and she was thinking about it. One day was like autumn, and one night was like pinellia, so she sent the eight elders to inquire about the garrison in the city.The eight elders didn't dare to enter the mansion, saw Xiao Xi'er at the door, and quietly asked, "Why don't the officials go?" Xiao Xi'er just said that the economy was not feeling well.Ba Lao came back and told Sister Ai.Sister Ai discussed with Wang Liuer, bought a pair of pig's trotters, two roasted ducks, two tails of fresh fish, and a box of shortbread. Send the old into the city and go with the economy.
Immediately put the gift in the box and hand it to the eight elders to pick it up. Sister Ai reminded me: "When you go to the city and see Guanren Chen, you must ask him to accept it and ask for a reply."
With a Cambodian card in his arms and a gift, the old man came to the garrison mansion in the city without saying a word, and sat on the stone platform along the street, waiting for Chen Jingji or Xiao Xi'er to come out.
Xiao Xi'er came out, saw the eight elders, and asked, "What are you doing here again?"
The eight elders said to him, and pulled in a secluded place and said, "I've come to see your official. I have a gift. I have something to say. I'm just waiting for you. You can let the official know."
Xiaoxi then turned around and went in.
After a while, Chen Jingji will come out.It was May and the weather was hot.Economical gauze clothes, corrugated hats, gold hairpins, sandals and clean socks on feet.
The eight elders stepped forward, hurriedly said hello, and said, "Officer, are you in better shape? Sister Han Ai sent me a card, and the gift is here."
Ji Ji accepted the invitation and asked, "How is Fifth Sister?"
The old man said: "Fifth sister is not happy when she sees that the officials don't go all the time. Tell the officials more, when will I go down for a walk?"
Economical unpacking Cambodia posts to watch.It reads like this:
Sister Han Ai, the concubine, pays homage to her, and sincerely invites her lover, Mr. Chen, to the audience: "I don't respect my face, and my longing heart is not too lazy, and I will never forget it in my heart."Make an appointment with Mengqi, the concubine leans on the door and stares, but does not see Pengpi.Yesterday I sent the eight elders to inquire about the daily life, but when I didn't meet him, I came back. Hearing that your ailment is not safe, the concubine is empty and sad, sitting and lying down, and I can't suddenly grow two wings, but I am at the foot of the king.You have a beautiful wife and love at home, how can you be willing to think about your concubine, it's like throwing away the fruit core.This is a tea box with a fishy smell. Shaoshen asked for his sincerity, and fortunately he accepted it with a smile.It's not announced.The outside is a beautiful mandarin duck sachet, and a strand of blue silk, which shows a little heart.
Midsummer Remembrance Day
The economy also looks at the sachet, in which a strand of green silk is placed. The sachet is made of a mandarin duck with two mouths, and the eight words "send it to your lover, and follow you to your knees" are buckled.The economy is folded first and hidden in the sleeves.Ling Xiaoxi'er took the eight elders to a nearby hotel to have a glass of wine, and said, "I will write a reply to you." Then he ordered Xiaoxi'er: "Take the gift into my room. If your mother asks, just say Hexia A gift from the shop owner, Xie’s family.” I went to the academy room and wrote a letter of reply quietly, wrapped another five taels of silver, and went to the hotel to ask the eight elders: “Have you had any wine?”
The old man said: "Thank you for the good wine, the officials. I can't eat it. Get up and go." The economy returned the money to the old man and said, "When you get home, pay homage to the fifth sister. The five taels of platinum will be used by her every day. After three In two days, I will go see her myself."
Send the eight elders away, and return to the room economically.
Ge Cuiping then asked: "Whose family sent the gift?"
Ji Ji said: "The shop owner thanked Fatty for inquiring about my discomfort, so he sent this gift to say hello."
Cuiping also believed it.The two discussed it, and taught the maid, Qian'er, to put a roast duck, a fresh fish, and half a pair of hoofs on a plate, and then sent them to eat with Chunmei, saying it was a gift from the shop owner.
When the eight elders arrived home, it was already late. At the beginning, they handed over all the money and money to Sister Ai for collection.Sister Ai unwrapped the cardboard and looked at it under the lamp:
The economy pauses, and the words cover Aiqing and Fifth Sister Han's make-up times: Ask Menghui, and accept a generous sum, and the cloud is full of love and rain, loves the lap mat, and is always lazy.The so-called expectation is just about to meet, but occasionally because of the unhappiness of the humble body, I lose the hope of Qing.I am very grateful to have sent people to look after me and benefit from delicious food.Only in two or three days, let it be clothed face to face.The outside is five taels of platinum, and one side of silk handkerchief, Shao Shen Yuanqin's respect, and beggar's heart.absolutely.
goodbye economy
Sister Ai took out her handkerchief to look at it again, and wrote four lines of poems on it:
Wu Ling's handkerchief weaves back patterns, and Sahan's ink marks new ones.Send it to the passionate Fifth Sister Han, and forever harmonize with Luanfeng for a hundred years.
After watching, Sister Ai paid the money to Wang Liuer. The mother and daughter each had their own preferences, but they were all happy, just waiting for the arrival of the senior economic officials.
(End of this chapter)
Chen Jingji entered the garrison mansion, took a bath in fragrant soup, and refreshed himself.Chunmei invited him to the back hall, dressed up in full makeup, and came out to meet each other.When the economy enters the door, Wang Chunmei bows four times and eight times.Chunmei received a half-respect, and sat down opposite each other; while talking about parting, both of them had tears in their eyes.
Chunmei listened to his experience of being in trouble and wandering, and said: "The last time you were taken into the government office, the guard didn't know that you were my relative, so I beat you by mistake, and I regret it very much. If not, I would have kept you at that time. However, there is that bitch Xue'e here with me, so I put you in again, so I let you go. After sending that bitch away, Zhang Sheng and Li An searched for you everywhere. Who knew that you were working outside the city and living in exile As for this point."
The maid brought tea, and the two of them ate, and taught the maid to accept the cup.The two talked again, and both cried when they were sad.
Chunmei was afraid that the garrison was about to retreat into the living room, so she whispered to Ji Ji: "Wait a minute, if he asks you, he will only say that he is a cousin. I am one year older than you. I am 25 years old. I was born at noon on April 25th."
The economy nodded quickly: "I see."
Just as he was talking, the guard retreated into the hall and opened the curtains left and right.Chen Jingji hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down.The garrison returned the gift and said: "Xiang Ri didn't know that he was a good brother. He was concealed by his subordinates. There was a collision by mistake. Don't blame the good brother."
Jiji said: "I'm not only defiled, I've always been impolite, I've lost closeness, I hope to beg forgiveness." Kowtow again.The guard pulled him up with one hand and asked him to sit up.If you are economical, you will not be willing, so you must pull down the chair and sit next to it.Guarding the closed seats, Chunmei sat down opposite him.
After a while, when the tea was served and finished eating, the guard asked, "My dear brother Gui Geng? Why haven't you seen me all this time? How did you become a monk?"
The economy told me: "My younger brother wasted 24 years old. My sister is one year older than me. She was born at noon on April 25. Both parents died, the family business withered, and his wife died. She became a monk in Yangong Temple. I don't know." My sister is married in the mansion, so I miss visiting her."
The guard said: "Since the day when my virtuous brother left, you have made my sister worry day and night, and you are always chirping and chirping, until now. You have always kept people from looking for my virtuous brother. I don't expect to meet you today. It is a fate for three lives."
So, he ordered the tables to be placed on the left and right, and arranged for the wine to be served.After a while, many cups and plates, chicken hoofs, geese and ducks, cooking cans, steamed frying, soup, rice and snacks were piled up on the table.The silver pot and jade cup, the wine is full of golden waves.The garrison minister will accompany you in the conversation, and eat until the evening, with a candle in your palm.
He also ordered to clean up the academy, where there are bed curtains in the study.Chunmei took out two beds, quilts and pillows for him to rest in, and called a servant, Xi'er, to promise him two sets of silk clothes for him to change.For the daily meal, Chunmei invited him to eat at the back.
Good times are easy, unknowingly, the economy has lived in the defense mansion for more than a month.This day, April 25th, was Chunmei's birthday.Wu Yueniang bought Lilly, a plate of birthday peaches, two plates of birthday noodles, two geese in soup, four fresh chickens, two plates of fruit, and a jar of southern wine.Da'an wears Tsing Yi and sends it with a post. When he sees the guard, he kneels on the ground and kowtows.
The guard looked at the gift post and said, "Thank you for your grandmother's troubles, and bring a gift." At the same time, he told his family: "Take the gift, and ask for tea to eat with the senior officials. Teach the boy to give the gift post to your uncle." Accept it, seal a handkerchief, three coins and a senior official, and pay one hundred coins to the person who carried the box. Take the reply and reply more." After finishing speaking, the guard put on his clothes, got up and went out to visit people.
Dai'an only waited in front of the hall to ask for the post. He saw a young man, wearing a corrugated hat, green gauze gown, sandals and clean socks, coming out of the corner door, holding the post and reward money to the servant. went all the way to the back.Dai'an felt familiar, and thought to himself: "This is weird, he looks like brother-in-law Chen, why is he here?"
Dai'an returned home and told Yueniang about it.
Yue Niang didn't believe it, and said: "Blame the prisoner, don't talk nonsense! That lamb, who knows where to beg for food, will either freeze to death or starve to death. What is he doing in that mansion for nothing? The guard knows what kind of porn he is. What's the use of recruiting him?"
Dai'an said: "Grandma dares to bet with me? I see the truth, even if he is burned to ashes, I will recognize him."
Yueniang still didn't believe it.
In the garrison mansion, Chen Jingji took the Yueniang gift card to the back to show Chunmei, and asked, "How did her family send you a gift, and why?"
Chunmei then talked about the relationship between the two families.
Hearing this, Ji Ji glanced at Chunmei and said, "Sister, you are so unambitious! Thinking about this whore, she broke up our sisters and killed my sixth sister, and she will live forever for thousands of years." Well, it’s better if we don’t meet inside and outside the door. You talk about favors for her instead? Even if Wu Dian’en tortured Ping’an’s boy, confessed his adultery, and tied her with a rope to her adulteress, she made a fool of herself to see the official, and took care of our legs Something! She didn't have an affair with Xiao'an, why did she match the girl Xiaoyu with him? If I were here, I would not teach you to speak for her. She is your enemy, and what are you doing with her? ? It's cloudy in June, it's such a sunny day for her!"
A few words left Chunmei speechless.After a long time, Chunmei said: "It's all about the past. It's my heart not to miss the old grudge."
"Nowadays people, good intentions are not rewarded well!"
"Since she gave the gift, why don't you accept it for nothing? I'm still waiting for my people to invite her to go."
"Ignore that prostitute from now on, why invite her?"
"It's embarrassing not to invite her, just leave a message to her, and it's fine if you come or not. If you are at the academy when she comes, don't come out to see her. Let's not provoke her in the future. "
Seeing what Chunmei said, Ji Ji didn't say a word, and walked to the front.After writing the post, Chunmei sent her family member Zhou Yi to invite Wu Yueniang.
Yueniang dresses up and goes out to get into the sedan chair. Grandma Ruyier holds Brother Xiao and sits in a small sedan chair. Dai'an follows and arrives at the garrison mansion.Chunmei and Sun Erniang all dressed up, greeted them in the back hall, met each other for a ceremony, and sat down.Ruyi'er hugged Brother Xiao and kowtowed to each other.Set tea, set up a table, serve wine, while two prostitutes Han Yuchuan and Zheng Jiaoer played and sang.
Dai'an was put under guard in the front wing.I saw a young servant taking out a plate of soup, rice, snacks and vegetables from behind, and walked towards the Xijiaomen Academy.Dai'an then asked him, "Who will you eat with?"
"I ate it with my uncle."
"What's your uncle's name?"
"The last name is Chen."
Dyan followed quietly behind him again.When we arrived at the West Academy, the servant opened the curtain and went in.Dai'an opened the screen window and looked in. It was Chen Jingji who was leaning on the bed in the study. Seeing the food coming in, he got up quickly and set the table to eat.Dai'an quietly walked out again, still sitting in the wing room.
When she came home at night, Dai'an told Yueniang everything she had seen.Yueniang had no choice but to believe it, and was unhappy in her heart.In addition, Chunmei's side was blocked by the economy, and since then, the two families have no contact with each other.
The economy secretly colluded with Chunmei in the garrison mansion, and no one knew about it.When the guard is not at home, Chunmei eats and drinks with the economy in the room, plays chess and jokes in their spare time, and they do everything.When the guard was at home, he asked the girl and servant to take food to the academy to eat with him.During the day, Chunmei would often come to the academy and sit with him for half a day before returning to the back.
One day, the garrison leaders went on a tour.It was the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and Chunmei set up a banquet in the flower pavilion of Xishuyuan, had realgar wine with Sun Erniang and Chen Jingjing, and had fun with rice dumplings.Maids and concubines serve on both sides, and Begonia and Yuegui play and sing in front of the banquet.Right now, until the scorching sun was setting in the west and the drizzle was cooling down, Chunmei picked up a big golden lotus cup to persuade her.After a few rounds of drinking, Sun Erniang was overwhelmed with alcohol, so she got up and went to the back room.Du Luoxia Chunmei and Ji Ji are having wine on the flower pavilion, guessing the order, you have a drink, I have a drink.After a while, the maid came up with a gauze lantern in her hand, and the adoptive mother Jin Kui and Yu Tang sent Jin Geer to bed.When the economy loses, he walks into the study and cannot hide from the wine.
Chunmei sent Haitang to invite him first, and then sent Yuegui to invite him when he saw that the economy was not coming, and ordered: "If he doesn't come, you should come with me anyway. If he doesn't come, I will slap you bitch ten times when he comes back." .”
Yue Gui came and pushed open the door of the study, and saw that Ji Ji was lying on the bed, pretending to be snoring and sleeping, and not moving.Yuegui said: "Grandma taught me to invite you, old man. If you don't go, you will beat me."
Ji Ji murmured, "It's none of my business to beat you. I'm drunk and can't eat."
Yuegui pulled him up hard and pushed him: "I'll pull you anyway, if I can't pull you, I'm not a good man."
The economy was in a hurry, Hei Yingli pretended to be drunk, and he took the prank seriously, and kissed Yue Gui in his arms.
As soon as Yuegui raised her head, she said, "People have kindly told you to do something wrong, and you're doing this for a living!"
Ji Ji said with a smile: "my son, if you are willing, which good intention will not make a big deal?" He kissed again and then walked to the flower pavilion.
Chunmei ordered Haitang to serve the big clock, and the two played chess and gambled for fun.Now you play one game, I play one game, and the maid fell asleep.Chunmei sent laurel and crabapple to fetch tea from behind.So the two of them were on the flower pavilion, Xie Peilu looked like a jade, and their vermilion lips touched the fragrance of the Han Dynasty.
The two of them were doing well, when Haitang suddenly brought tea and said, "Grandma, please go later, brother Jin woke up, crying and looking for grandma."
Chunmei drank two more cups of wine with Ji Ji, rinsed her mouth with tea, and then walked back.Xi'er helped the economy and returned to the study to sleep.
A few days later, the imperial edict came down, ordering the garrison to lead the headquarters, together with Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Jezhou Prefecture, to conquer Song Jiang, the thief king of Liangshan Po, and get up sooner or later.The guard said to Chunmei: "You take good care of your brother at home and ask a matchmaker to find a marriage for your brother. I will bring his name to the military gate. If he succeeds by luck, the court will favor him and promote him to an official position. It is up to you." There is also a radiance on the face."
Chunmei agreed.Two days later, the garrison packed up and organized the troops, leaving Zhang Sheng and Li An to watch the house, and only took his family Zhou Ren to follow.
Sending the guards away, Chunmei called Mrs. Xue, told her about finding relatives for the economy, and said, "His father is going to give instructions on this matter. You can find me a good family for my daughter, whether she is sixteen or seventeen years old." , as long as you look good, your hands are smarter. My brother is also a bit stubborn."
Mrs. Xue said: "I know, I don't need your old man's orders. Thinking about it before, he still hates how big sister waited!"
Chunmei said: "If you can't find it well, see if I will beat you. I will drive her to call you little concubine, so don't play tricks!" After speaking, she ordered the maid to serve tea with Mrs. Xue.
Chen Jingji happened to come in for dinner. Mrs. Xue saw her and said good luck to him, saying, "Uncle, you haven't seen me all this time. Where are you coming from?" How can I thank you?"
Chen Jingji kept his face calm and said nothing.
Mrs. Xue said, "Old man, why don't you speak?"
Chunmei said: "Don't call him Uncle, that's been covered, you can just call him Uncle Chen."
Mrs. Xue said: "You should only hit me like a dog, and you will call me wrong. From now on, I will only call you uncle!"
Chen Jingji couldn't help laughing "puchi", and said, "This is what I like."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she acted foolishly, hurriedly hit him, and said, "You old bastard, you said good things, and I wasn't alluded to by you, so why do you care about me?"
Chunmei also smiled.After a while, Yuegui brought tea and food to eat with Mrs. Xue.After talking again, Mrs. Xue took her flower box and bid farewell to go out.
In less than three days, Mrs. Xue came back and said: Let me tell you something first, she is Miss Zhu Qianhu's family in the city, she is 15 years old this year, and she can be married as a dowry.
Chunmei doesn't like it too small.
Another one is Earl Ying's second daughter, who is 22 years old.
Chunmei thought Earl Ying was dead and had no dowry, so she returned the wedding invitation.
A few days later, Mrs. Xue brought flowers, and took out a wedding post from her sleeve. On the red satin, it was written that it was the eldest daughter of the satin shop owner's family. She was 20 years old and belonged to the rooster. Born in five days, small characters Cuiping.Mrs. Xue said that she was born with a picture-like appearance, with short stature and melon-like skin, gentle and elegant, intelligent, not to mention a needleworker; her parents are both present, and she has tens of thousands of dollars. She runs a satin shop on the street and travels to Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. , The extremely good people are all Nanjing bed tents and cages.
Only then did Chunmei agree: "Since it's good, let's take care of this family."
Mrs. Xue went to Yuan Ge's family to communicate with her. Ge Yuan's family knew that she was in the garrison mansion and was willing to be a relative, so she asked a matchmaker Zhang to go with her.Chunmei prepared two loads of tea leaves, wedding cakes, and soup fruits here, and taught Sun Erniang to take a sedan chair to Yuan Ge's house to betroth her daughter and wear a ring.
Sun Erniang came back and said to Chunmei: "Sure enough, she is a beautiful woman, she is like a flower, and she is quite good."
Chunmei chooses an auspicious day here, accepting lottery as a salute, sixteen plates of soup, fruit and tea cakes, two plates of top noodles, two plates of pearls, four pieces of wine, two sheep, one topknot, a full set of gold and silver hairpin rings, two A grosgrain robe, four-season clothes, cotton cloth and silk, and 20 taels of gift silver.Yin and Yang students choose to marry on the eighth day of June.
Chunmei first asked Mrs. Xue: "Is there a maid in her house?"
Mrs. Xue said: "There are bed curtains, make-up dowry, gold-painted chests and cabinets, but there is no maid to accompany the bed."
Chunmei said: "Let's buy a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl here, and let her play around in the room. It's more convenient to pour water from the bucket."
Mrs. Xue said: "There are two girls who are sold by others. I will bring one tomorrow."
The next day, Mrs. Xue really took a girl and said: "The girl in the son's house of the merchant Huang Si's family is only 13 years old this year. Huang Siyin used the money and food from the lower officials, and Li San's family and the security officer who went out from our family My son, I took it to the prison to recover the stolen goods because of this official matter. I was imprisoned for more than a year, the family property was wiped out, and the house was sold. Li San died first, and his son was imprisoned. The son of our security officer, Seng Baoer, is now Living outside, with others and horses."
Chunmei asked, "Are you here for protection?"
Mrs. Xue said: "He is not called Lai Bao now, but changed his name to Tang Bao."
"This girl is a girl from Huang Si's family, how much money do you want?"
"Just four and a half taels of silver, and I'm waiting to hand over the spoils."
"What four and a half, keep it with him."
Chunmei said, took out three or five dollars in Xuehua official silver, wrote the paperwork, bought the general girl, changed her name, and called it Qianqian.
On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, Chunmei dresses up in a beaded and emerald phoenix crown, wears a red robe with full sleeves, a gold and jasper belt, sits in a four-person sedan chair, plays drums and plays lanterns, marries a woman from the Ge family, and passes by the door with geese.Chen Jingji rode a big white horse, picked up a silver saddle and bridle, shouted from the Tsing Yi soldier, with two golden flowers on his head.When they arrived at the garrison mansion, the newlyweds landed in a sedan chair, wearing a red gold cover, makeup and food, holding a vase, and entered the gate.The yin and yang students lead into the painting hall, visit the family hall first, and then return to the bridal chamber.Chunmei made him sit in the tent, and then came out.After the yin and yang students spread the tent, they sent out the happy money, and the drummers all dispersed.Ji and this Miss Ge Cuiping sat back to pay the bill, rode a horse and lit a lantern, went to the father-in-law's house to thank relatives, and returned home drunk.
In the evening, the girl is beautiful and talented, so it is inevitable that Yan Er is newly married and having sex.The economy and Miss Ge's family can get along well. The two mandarin ducks under the quilt and the phoenix in the tent are like fish like water, and they have fun together.
After the meal in three days, Chunmei held a banquet in the back hall of the mansion hall, played drums and music, and invited relatives to eat and drink.From then on, every day Chunmei ate, she would invite the two of them to eat together in the room, calling each other aunts, and sitting together.Girl and adoptive mother, family daughter-in-law, who dares to say no?Chunmei tidied up three rooms in the west wing to make a room with them. The inside was covered with bed nets, turned as neatly as a snow cave, with curtains hanging down.The west academy outside is the economic study room, which also has beds, a few seats, ancient books, and guards the incoming and outgoing letters and invitations.He handed over manuscripts and posts from everywhere, or registered books, or sealed letters from imperial envoys. There are pens and inkstones in the study room, and the shelves are full of books.Chunmei came to the academy from time to time to sit and chat with the economy.The friendship between the two secretly lasted for more than a month.
The good news came that Zhou Shoubei and Zhang Zhifu led Ma Zheng to suppress the thief Wang Songjiang in Liangshanbo. 36 people and more than ten thousand grass bandits were all recruited and the place was restored.The imperial court promoted Zhang Shuye to be the censor of the capital and the ambassador to appease Shandong, and promoted Zhou Xiu to be the military and horse system of Jinan, to manage the sub-patrol of the river and to investigate the thieves.The subordinates are recruited for meritorious service, and each is promoted to a higher level.Chen Jingji's name was carried at the military gate, and he was promoted to the post of staff officer. He was given two stones of rice every month, and he was crowned with honor.The garrison received the edict in mid-October, and led the people to Malai's house. First, let people come to report to Chunmei's house.
Chunmei was full of joy, so Chen Jingji, Zhang Sheng, and Li An went out of the city to meet her.In the hall of the house, there is a feast of wine and banquets to celebrate the official congratulations, and there are countless officials who come to pay respects and give gifts.
Dismount from the guard and enter the back hall, followed by Chunmei and Sun Erniang.At the end of the visit, Chen Jingjing changed his clothes and towels, put on a red collar, a crown hat, soap boots, and horn belts, and met with his bride, Ge Shi.When the guard saw a good woman, he rewarded her with a set of clothes and ten taels of silver for jewelry.
In the evening, Chunmei and the guard were drinking in the room, discussing some household matters.Chunmei said: "It took a lot of money to marry my brother."
The guard said: "Oh, you are only this brother. You come here without a wife, so there is no reason for your future. You just spent a few taels of silver, and you never did it for others."
Chunmei said: "You have earned this future for him again today, it is enough to honor him, enough."
The guard said: "The imperial court has issued an order. I will take up my post in Jinan in a few days. You can look after the house at home, manage some capital, teach him to be a supervisor, and do some big and small businesses. In three or five days, teach him to go down and check the accounts. Earning some interest is enough for him to mess around."
Chunmei said, "You're right."
Zhou Shoubei only stayed at home for ten days. In the first ten days of November, he packed up and led Zhang Sheng and Li An to Jinan to take up his post, leaving Zhou Ren and Zhou Yi to look after the house.Chen Jingji sent it to Yongfu Temple to return.
After a few days, Chunmei told the economy about the defense.The economy listens to the words and is full of joy.One day, while walking in front of the street, looking for a supervisor, he accidentally bumped into his old friend Lu Erlang Lu Bingyi.The two narrated the ceremony and said goodbye to each other.
Lu Bingyi told Chen Jingji: "Yang Dalang abducted your goods, and now he hired Xie Sanlang as his clerk to open the Xie Family Restaurant at Linqing Wharf. It’s good to get big interest.”
Ji Ji said: "I'm just looking for this guy. I saw him once last year. He beat me up mercilessly and was saved by a friend. I hate him to the bone!" So he pulled Lu Erlang into a hotel beside the road , The two went upstairs to eat wine.He said again: "How to deal with him, let me out?"
Lu Bingyi said: "It's a good saying: hate a little man, he's not a poisonous man, he's not a husband. Let's tell him the truth now, but he will definitely refuse. This guy doesn't recognize an old friend now. He doesn't cry when he sees the coffin. I have a little brother Strategy: Brother doesn’t need to do other business, just write a complaint, sue him, chase after your goods and money, and seize this restaurant. Add some capital, and partner with Xie Sanlang, and I will help you The shopkeeper sells, Xie Sanlang is in charge, brother, you go down every three to five days to check the accounts. If you manage the situation for a month, you can earn a hundred and ten taels of silver in interest, which is better than doing other businesses."
Hearing this, Ji Ji was right on his mind, hurriedly bowed to Lu Bingyi, and said, "Your brother, what you said is right. I will tell my brother-in-law and sister when I get home. When the business is completed, brother An Xian and Xie Sanlang will do it together." director."
At that moment, the two ate wine and came downstairs.The economy paid for the drink and told Lu Erlang: "Second brother Lu, brother, please be careful, I will invite you to go if you have something to do."
Lu Erlang said: "I know."
When the economy returned home, he told Chunmei everything.
Chunmei said: "How can I care if his master is not here?"
The old family member Zhou Zhong said: "It doesn't matter. When my uncle writes a certificate, how much silver and goods should be abducted, and I will seal it with a letter of thanks from my grandfather. Wait for the younger one to be sent to the two officials of the prison. Under the case, take this man surnamed Yang to the yamen, beat him up and question him, I'm not afraid that the guy won't come up with the money."
The economy was overjoyed, and he immediately started to deal with it, so Zhou Zhong was sent to the prison.When He Qianhu and Zhang Erguan Qianhu met at the Mentoring Office, they decided to make a point, even if it was approved, and sent the commission to arrest and arrest Yang Guangyan and Yang Dalang in Linqing.He returned another greeting card, paid it to Zhou Zhong, and said, "Support your grandfather and grandmother when you get home, and wait for me to chase out the silver taels and wait for you to get it."
In less than two days, Fanzhuo brought Yang Dalang and his brother Yang Erfeng to the yamen in Qinghe County.The two officials interrogated Chen Jingji, beat him up, and imprisoned him for several days. They recovered 350 taels of silver, 50 barrels of raw eyecloth, and a total of 900 taels of house fires in the rest of the hotel.Chen's economic certificate claimed 350 taels, which was still 50 taels short. He sold the house for [-] taels, and his family property was wiped out.
Chen Jingji and Xie Sanlang partnered to open this big restaurant.Chunmei managed another 500 taels of capital, a total of 1000 taels, and appointed Lu Bingyi as the supervisor to redecorate the restaurant, paint and paint, make the rails bright, the buildings bright and new, the tables and tables are bright, and the wine and food are neat.On the day of opening, drums and music are playing in the sky, shengxiao is playing, merchants and prostitutes are invited.Chen Jingji sacrificed pigs and burned paper.
The economy was happy, and went upstairs, only to see that the big restaurant is surrounded by brightly lit windows, green and dry.Looking around, the clouds and mountains are stacked, and the sky and water are connected.Looking from the east, you can see Daiyue with green snail piles; looking from the west, you can see the vast mist enclosing the imperial capital; looking from the north, you can see the vermilion towers built on top of each other; looking from the south, you can see the mighty Changhuai River like Sulian.There are hundreds of pavilions upstairs and down, where dancing skirts and singing prostitutes are everywhere, and there are many strings in a hurry.It's indescribable that the food is like a mountain, and the wine is like a wave.So, from the beginning of the opening in the first half of the first month, three to fifty taels of silver were also sold a day, all of which were handled by Xie Sanlang and Lu Bingyi, who were in charge of the cabinet.The economy rides on Toukou for three or five days, followed by the servant Xi'er, and goes to Linqing to settle accounts once.Come, Lu Bingyi and Xie Sanlang tidy up a clean room upstairs, spread out bed curtains, set up tables and chairs, set up banquets, ask four good friends to accompany them, and Chen San'er, who measures wine, goes back and forth to serve.
Gradually entering March, the spring is bright and beautiful, the scenery is fragrant, the embankment is green and the willows are full, and the red apricot and peach are brilliant.One day, when Chen Jingji came to settle accounts, he set up the green railing on the upper floor, looked at the scenery downstairs, and suddenly saw two boats moored by the river, carrying many boxes, cages, tables, stools and fires, and four or five people were moving into the building. Come down to the empty room.There were two women on the boat, a middle-aged woman with a long, slender figure and a purple chest; a young woman, who was white and beautiful, about 20 years old, was getting off the boat and walking into the house.
Ji Ji hurriedly went downstairs and asked Director Xie: "Who is this person? He moved into my house without asking why."
Director Xie said: "These are two women from Tokyo. They can't find relatives, and they have nowhere to look for a house for a while. My neighbor Fan Lao said that I will go there after staying for two or three days. I just want to report to the officials. I don't want to The officer came to ask."
The economy was about to get angry, when I saw the little woman leaning forward that year, looking forward to the economy and wishing deeply, saying: "Officials, please calm down. It is not the job of the supervisor. It is the boldness of the slave family, out of helplessness. It is too early Come to the house to report, begging for forgiveness. Ronglue lived for three to five days, asked for rent, and then moved out."
Seeing that the little woman could talk, Ji Ji just looked up and down at her.The woman has star eyes, looking sideways at the economy.Two emotions and four eyes, can't concentrate.Ji Ji didn't say a word, but secretly said in his heart: "It seems like I've never seen it before, it looks so familiar."
The slender middle-aged woman next to her had been staring at Ji Ji for a long time, and said, "Officer, are you Uncle Chen from Mr. Ximen's family?"
Chen Jingji was taken aback, and blurted out, "How do you recognize me?"
The woman said: "To tell you the truth, my uncle is my old friend Han Daoguo's wife, and this is my daughter Aijie."
Then Ji Ji recognized the woman as Wang Liuer, and asked, "Aren't you two in Tokyo? How did you come here? Where is your husband?"
Wang Liu'er said, "Watch the fire on the boat."
The economy hastily ordered Chen San'er to invite him to meet him.
Han Daoguo came to bow to him, his temples were already grey, because he said: "Cai Taishi, Tong Taiwei, Li Youxiang, Zhu Taiwei, Gao Taiwei, and Li Eunuch in the middle of the court were all sent by Chen Dong, the son of Taixue Guozi. I participated in impeachment in the first book, but was overthrown by Ke Daojiao. The imperial decree came down and sent to the three jurisprudence for questioning. The smoky ground was sent to the army forever. The son of the grand master Cai You, the Minister of Rites, was executed, and his family property was confiscated. The three of us The children escaped separately and went to my brother in Qinghe County. He sold the house and disappeared. The three of them hired a boat to come from the river. They didn't want to bump into their uncle here. The three of them were lucky. My uncle is still there today. Master Simon's house?"
Ji Ji shook his head and said, "I'm not at his house anymore. I served as a staff officer in my brother-in-law's garrison Lord Zhou's mansion. I wear a crown and honor. Recently, I joined forces with two guys and opened this hotel on this wharf. It's easy to live indiscriminately. Yes. Since the three of you met me, you don’t need to move, so you can live here, please feel free.”
Wang Liuer and Han Daoguo saluted together.Just go to move the firebox cage on the boat.The itching to see the economy also made Xiao Xi'er and Chen San'er go up to carry a few pieces of furniture for them.
Wang Liu'er said: "Don't bother my uncle to work hard." Jiji said: "You and I are one family, so why bother."
It was getting late, Ji Ji wanted to go home, and told the supervisor: "Send them some tea boxes tomorrow morning." Then get on the horse.Along the way, I was thinking about it, but I just let Sister Han Ai go, and I didn't sleep well all night.
This time, after only one day, he dressed up and came to Linqinghe Xia Da Restaurant, looking to do business.Han Daoguo sent the eight elders to invite him to tea.The economic heart is about to watch.When Sister Han Ai saw the economy coming, she smiled, said Wanfu, and said, "officials, please sit inside." She greeted the economy and sat down in the pavilion.Both Wang Liuer and Han Daoguo came to accompany him.
Let's have a little tea, and let's talk to each other about the past.If I can't afford it, I only focus on my beloved sister.Sister Ai is also salivating and staring at each other, her eyes are only on the economy, and they are interested in each other.Han Daoguo went out first.
Sister Ai asked, "How young are officials?"
Ji Ji said: "I wasted 26 years old. I respectfully ask my sister, what is youth?"
Sister Ai laughed and said: "The slave and the official were destined for a while, and they are also 26 years old. They met each other at the old man's house in the past, and now they are lucky to meet in the same place. It is a fate to meet thousands of miles away."
Wang Liu'er saw that the two of them agreed to enter Hong Kong, so he also left with an excuse.There are only these two people left. Sister Ai used some romantic talk to hook the economy.How can we not save the way that the economy has been used to since childhood?Get up and go out.This Sister Han Ai came from Tokyo, and she and her mother also did this kind of thing all the way. She used to be a concubine with Housekeeper Zhai in the Cai Mansion.Seeing that Ji Ji got up and went out, looking around for no one, he leaned against his body and said coquettishly, "Officer, lend me the golden hairpin on your head."
When the money was about to be pulled out, Sister Ai was already holding down his bun with one hand, and pulled out the hairpin with the other, and said, "I'll go upstairs with you to have a chat." Saying that, she walked upstairs.
Ji Ji went upstairs with her: "Sister, what can I say?"
Sister Ai said: "The slave and you are destined to be married in the past, so don't lie. I would like to share the joy of the pillow table and work together for the joy of flying."
Ji Ji said: "I'm afraid that someone here will feel it, but they can't make it."
Sister Ai made a lot of coquettish actions, hugged Ji Ji in her arms, and pulled off his pants with her sharp jade hands. Chen Ji Ji was so excited that he couldn't hold back.Sister Ai inevitably took off her clothes and lay on her back on the bed, and they had sex together.
Ji Ji asked, "What's your name?" Sister Ai replied, "I was born on the Dragon Boat Festival, so I'm called Fifth Sister, also known as Sister Ai."
After finishing speaking, the clouds collected and the rain dispersed in an instant, and they sat together leaning against each other.
Sister Ai said to the economy: "Since the three of us came out of Tokyo, we can't find relatives, and we are short of daily necessities. You have money to beg for five liang from my father, and you can pay it back with Lina. You can't resist it."
Economic promise: "It doesn't matter, my sister asks, just take five taels."
Sister Ai returned his golden hairpin.The two of them sat for another half a day, fearing that someone might be talking about the economy. After having a cup of tea, they wanted to go downstairs.Sister Ai left him for lunch, and said economically, "I have something to do over there, so I won't eat. I will send money to you in a while."
Sister Ai said: "In the afternoon, I will prepare a glass of water and wine. The officials don't want to see you, but come and have a sit."
Ji Ji ate lunch in the store, and walked around the street for a while. When he returned to the store, Director Lu told him: "Lao Han, who lives in there, invites officials to drink, and there is nowhere to find him." Come and invite: "Officials, please accompany the two supervisors, and there will be no other guests."
The economy went to the inner room with the two executives, and saw that the banquet had already been arranged neatly.In terms of economy, Han Daoguo is in charge, Lu and Xie are in charge, Wang Liuer and Aijie are sitting next to each other, and the eight elders go back and forth to sift wine and serve food.After several drinks, the two executives understood, got up and left.The economic capacity for drinking is not large, and he is already a little drunk.
Sister Ai asked, "The officials are not going home today."
Ji Ji also said: "It's too late now, I can't go back, get up and go tomorrow."
Wang Liuer and Han Daoguo ate for a while, and then went downstairs.Ji took out five liang of silver from his sleeve, handed it to Sister Ai to collect it, and handed it to Wang Liuer below.The two exchanged cups and cups, leaned against the green and nestled in the red, and ate until late at night.Sister Ai took off her heavy make-up, and stayed upstairs to rest in the attic.At present, the mountain alliance by the pillow, the oath of the sea in the quilt, the voice of the warbler and the language of swallows, all the music is ready.Ji Ji was overjoyed, just like that golden lotus, right in his heart, spending the night with her.
Woke up late the next day.Wang Liu'er arranged some chicken meat balls, made a brain, and supported his head.Two people had a few glasses of warm wine.After a while, the supervisor came to treat the economy to dinner.After washing up and eating, I came to bid farewell to Aijie.Sister Ai was reluctant to give up and just shed tears.
Ji Ji said: "I will come to see you in three or five days when I get home. Don't worry about it." After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and went.Along the way, he told Xiao Xi'er: "Don't talk about the Han family when you get home." Xiao Xi'er agreed.
When I went home economically, I was busy with the business in the store and calculated the accounts. I didn't realize that it was late and I couldn't return, so I rested all night.Delivering the interest silver to Chunmei will cost 30 taels once.Back in his room, Ge Cuiping said again: "Why did the officials rest outside all night. They must be walking on Liumohua Street. Leave me at home, alone in an empty room, and don't think about coming home!"
So Chen Jiji was kept for seven or eight days without letting him out.Chen Jingji had no choice but to ask Xiao Xier to ask the supervisor to calculate the interest.Sister Han Ai was in a hurry and missed her endlessly.Han Daoguo had to teach his wife Wang Liuer to provoke other acquaintances or businessmen to come and walk around the house and have tea and wine.This Han Daoguo had tasted this sweetness earlier, relying on his wife to support his family.What's more, Wang Liu'er is about 45 at this time. Although she is half a year old, she still has charm. It just so happens that her daughter will take over.This is an anonymous prostitute, a private nest.
Chen San'er, who was drinking wine, hooked up a Huzhou silk seller, He Guanren, who was in his fifties, for Han Daoguo.I have thousands of taels of silk and silk in my hand. I want to invite sister Ai.Sister Ai was obsessed with the economy, so she felt unhappy, so she refused to come downstairs after three requests and five requests.Then the official saw Wang Liu'er's tall figure, purple chest color, melon-seed skin, painted eyebrows, long temples, staring starry eyes, drunken eyes, and bright red lips, expected this woman It must be a good style, so I left a tael of silver, ate wine in the house, and rested with Wang Liuer all night.Han Daoguo took refuge outside for a while.Sister Ai saw that the mother had left guests, so she just stayed upstairs and didn't come down.Sure enough, He Guanren had good eyesight, and he was teased happily by Wang Liu'er. The two fought like coals, and from then on, they came to spend the night with the woman within three or two days.Han Daoguo was happy to collect the money.
Sister Han Ai saw that Ji Ji had gone but never came, and she was thinking about it. One day was like autumn, and one night was like pinellia, so she sent the eight elders to inquire about the garrison in the city.The eight elders didn't dare to enter the mansion, saw Xiao Xi'er at the door, and quietly asked, "Why don't the officials go?" Xiao Xi'er just said that the economy was not feeling well.Ba Lao came back and told Sister Ai.Sister Ai discussed with Wang Liuer, bought a pair of pig's trotters, two roasted ducks, two tails of fresh fish, and a box of shortbread. Send the old into the city and go with the economy.
Immediately put the gift in the box and hand it to the eight elders to pick it up. Sister Ai reminded me: "When you go to the city and see Guanren Chen, you must ask him to accept it and ask for a reply."
With a Cambodian card in his arms and a gift, the old man came to the garrison mansion in the city without saying a word, and sat on the stone platform along the street, waiting for Chen Jingji or Xiao Xi'er to come out.
Xiao Xi'er came out, saw the eight elders, and asked, "What are you doing here again?"
The eight elders said to him, and pulled in a secluded place and said, "I've come to see your official. I have a gift. I have something to say. I'm just waiting for you. You can let the official know."
Xiaoxi then turned around and went in.
After a while, Chen Jingji will come out.It was May and the weather was hot.Economical gauze clothes, corrugated hats, gold hairpins, sandals and clean socks on feet.
The eight elders stepped forward, hurriedly said hello, and said, "Officer, are you in better shape? Sister Han Ai sent me a card, and the gift is here."
Ji Ji accepted the invitation and asked, "How is Fifth Sister?"
The old man said: "Fifth sister is not happy when she sees that the officials don't go all the time. Tell the officials more, when will I go down for a walk?"
Economical unpacking Cambodia posts to watch.It reads like this:
Sister Han Ai, the concubine, pays homage to her, and sincerely invites her lover, Mr. Chen, to the audience: "I don't respect my face, and my longing heart is not too lazy, and I will never forget it in my heart."Make an appointment with Mengqi, the concubine leans on the door and stares, but does not see Pengpi.Yesterday I sent the eight elders to inquire about the daily life, but when I didn't meet him, I came back. Hearing that your ailment is not safe, the concubine is empty and sad, sitting and lying down, and I can't suddenly grow two wings, but I am at the foot of the king.You have a beautiful wife and love at home, how can you be willing to think about your concubine, it's like throwing away the fruit core.This is a tea box with a fishy smell. Shaoshen asked for his sincerity, and fortunately he accepted it with a smile.It's not announced.The outside is a beautiful mandarin duck sachet, and a strand of blue silk, which shows a little heart.
Midsummer Remembrance Day
The economy also looks at the sachet, in which a strand of green silk is placed. The sachet is made of a mandarin duck with two mouths, and the eight words "send it to your lover, and follow you to your knees" are buckled.The economy is folded first and hidden in the sleeves.Ling Xiaoxi'er took the eight elders to a nearby hotel to have a glass of wine, and said, "I will write a reply to you." Then he ordered Xiaoxi'er: "Take the gift into my room. If your mother asks, just say Hexia A gift from the shop owner, Xie’s family.” I went to the academy room and wrote a letter of reply quietly, wrapped another five taels of silver, and went to the hotel to ask the eight elders: “Have you had any wine?”
The old man said: "Thank you for the good wine, the officials. I can't eat it. Get up and go." The economy returned the money to the old man and said, "When you get home, pay homage to the fifth sister. The five taels of platinum will be used by her every day. After three In two days, I will go see her myself."
Send the eight elders away, and return to the room economically.
Ge Cuiping then asked: "Whose family sent the gift?"
Ji Ji said: "The shop owner thanked Fatty for inquiring about my discomfort, so he sent this gift to say hello."
Cuiping also believed it.The two discussed it, and taught the maid, Qian'er, to put a roast duck, a fresh fish, and half a pair of hoofs on a plate, and then sent them to eat with Chunmei, saying it was a gift from the shop owner.
When the eight elders arrived home, it was already late. At the beginning, they handed over all the money and money to Sister Ai for collection.Sister Ai unwrapped the cardboard and looked at it under the lamp:
The economy pauses, and the words cover Aiqing and Fifth Sister Han's make-up times: Ask Menghui, and accept a generous sum, and the cloud is full of love and rain, loves the lap mat, and is always lazy.The so-called expectation is just about to meet, but occasionally because of the unhappiness of the humble body, I lose the hope of Qing.I am very grateful to have sent people to look after me and benefit from delicious food.Only in two or three days, let it be clothed face to face.The outside is five taels of platinum, and one side of silk handkerchief, Shao Shen Yuanqin's respect, and beggar's heart.absolutely.
goodbye economy
Sister Ai took out her handkerchief to look at it again, and wrote four lines of poems on it:
Wu Ling's handkerchief weaves back patterns, and Sahan's ink marks new ones.Send it to the passionate Fifth Sister Han, and forever harmonize with Luanfeng for a hundred years.
After watching, Sister Ai paid the money to Wang Liuer. The mother and daughter each had their own preferences, but they were all happy, just waiting for the arrival of the senior economic officials.
