Proud Maid Chunmei

Chapter 17 The Moon Lady of Yongfu Temple Will Buy the Enemy of Chunmei Garrison Mansion
The night before, Chunmei slept with Shoubei, pretending to be dreaming, and woke up crying in her sleep.The guard hurriedly asked, "Why are you crying?"

Chunmei said: "I dreamed that my mother was crying to me, saying that she would take care of me, why not burn paper with her during the Qingming Festival, so I woke up from crying."

The guard said: "This is also a matter of adopting a daughter, your little filial piety. I don't know where your mother's grave is?"

"It's behind the Yongfu Temple outside the south gate."

"It doesn't matter, Yongfu Temple is my family's incense house. Tomorrow when our family goes to the grave, your teacher should carry some sacrifices and burn paper money with your mother there. It is also good."

On Qingming the next day, the whole family of guards packed food boxes, wine and fruit offerings, and went to the ancestral tomb in the south of the city. There are large courtyards, halls, gardens, halls of enjoyment, and altars.Grandma, Sun Erniang and Chunmei all sat in four-person sedan chairs, lined up the army, drank the road, and went to the grave to play.

At this time, Wu Yueniang had a drink and a few outings.Sanli passed the peach blossom shop, Wuli saw Xinghua Village, and before I knew it, I came to Yongfu Temple.Seeing that the temple was built neatly, Yueniang asked, "What is the name of this temple?"

Uncle Wu said: "This is Master Zhou Xiu's incense house, named Yongfu Zen Forest. The day before yesterday, my brother-in-law was in Japan, and he gave 500 taels of silver to rebuild the Buddhist hall in this temple. It was so fresh and tidy just now."

Yueniang said to the eldest concubine, "Let's go into this temple and have a look."

So he led a group of men and women into the temple.The little novice saw it and reported it to the elders.The elder hurried out of the abbot and invited the Bodhisattva, the benefactor, to rejoice.

When the elder met Uncle Wu and Wu Yueniang, he clasped his hands together and asked the young monk to open the Buddhist hall: "The Bodhisattva, the almsgiver, is invited to have fun and enjoy tea."

The little novice opened the door of the hall, led the Yueniang people to visit the front and back corridors for a while, and then went to the elder abbot.The elder hurriedly ordered tea, which was like a snow ingot, sweet water and good tea.

Uncle Wu asked the elder for his Taoist name.

The elder smiled and said: "The little monk's Dharma name is Daojian. This temple is Zhou Ye's Incense Fire Temple in the residence of Commander En. The little monk is the elder of this temple, and he supervises hundreds of monks in the corridor. Tanyue repays your merits." After speaking, he ordered the abbot to set up a fast, and said to Yueniang and the others: "All Bodhisattvas, please sit down, and I just have a cup of tea."

Yueniang said: "Don't disturb the elder's treasure temple." She took out five qian and handed it to the elder, "Please burn incense in front of the Buddha."

Elder Daojian thanked him with a smile, and said: "Young monk, I don't care much. The Bodhisattva, the almsgiver, sits down and prepares a little tea. Why bother to give alms."

After a while, the little monk put the table down and brought up vegetarian vegetarian pancakes.The elder was sitting beside him, holding up the chopsticks for Yueniang and the others to eat, when he suddenly saw two men in green clothes running out of breath, and reported to the elder like a thunderstorm: "Elder, hurry up and come out to greet him! The little grandma in the mansion is here to sacrifice." Already!"

The elder hurriedly put on his cassock and monk's hat, and ordered the little novice to take over the household chores immediately, and said, "Bodhisattvas, please take refuge in the small room. After sending the little lady to burn the paper, go and sit down again after the sacrifice." It's not too late to sit down."

Uncle Wu left, but the monk kept him alive and refused to let him go.

Bells and drums rang, the gate of the mountain opened wide, and the elder went out and waited at the crossing of the horse road.I saw a group of people in green clothes, surrounded by a big sedan chair, coming from the east like clouds. The bearers were all sweaty and their clothes were wet.

The elder bowed and put his palms together and said: "I don't know my grandma is coming, so I should receive it from a distance. If you are late, don't be offended."

Chunmei replied from behind the curtain: "Activate the elder."

Those subordinates, as early as they carried the sacrificial table to the Jinlian tomb behind the temple, it had been laid out for a long time, and the paper money was listed.Chunmei's sedan chair didn't arrive at the temple either, so she went to the grave of Jinlian under the poplar tree behind the temple and got off the sedan chair.People in Tsing Yi serve on both sides.

Chunmei calmly came to the grave, planted incense, bowed four times, and said, "My mother, Miss Pang Da came here to burn Mozhi money with you today. You will go to heaven for your good, and you will use the money for your troubles. I knew you earlier." Died at the hands of the enemy, I will marry you to the mansion if I ask what is wrong, and I will be with you. I still delay you, and it is too late to regret.” After finishing speaking, he ordered the left and right to burn the paper money, and burst into tears :
Burn the paper and drop the crested shoes.Called my mother, and broke my heart and intestines.Just because you are flirtatious, many people annoy you and send you out.It's not natural for you to be enslaved in a deep house by the enemy.And no relatives, who cares about you?I really hope to share the same bed with you, how do I know that your life is short and impermanent, and your death is so pitiful!Shouted, the blue sky that does not open its eyes!As the saying goes, good things are hard to come by, and the red ruler is short.

Wu Yueniang was in the monk's room. She only knew that the little lady in the house had come, and the elder went out to greet her, but she didn't come in and asked the little monk.

The little monk said: "There is a sister of the little grandma behind this temple. She was recently buried. Today, on Qingming Festival, I come here to sacrifice and burn paper."

Meng Yulou said quickly, "I'm afraid it's just Chunmei coming, and it may not be."

Yueniang asked suspiciously: "How can she get a sister to be buried here after her death?"

While discussing, the elder came in first and told the little novice: "Hurry up and watch the tea."

After a while, the sedan chair was carried into the abbot, and the sedan chair was disembarked in the second gate.Yueniang and everyone in Yulou opened the curtain of the monk's room and looked outside to see who the little lady was.When I looked closely, it turned out to be Chunmei, but she was taller than the old days, her face was like a full moon, she was dressed in pink makeup, with a crown on her head, full of pearls and emeralds, her phoenix hairpin was half removed, and she was wearing red makeup. The flowered jacket, wearing a emerald blue silk gold wide skirt, and wearing a pendant, is much different than before:
The bun is majestic, and the phoenix hairpin is half removed.Hu Zhuhuan hangs low by the ears, and gold picks and phoenixes are double inserted behind the temples.The red embroidered jacket is set against the jade-scented skin, and the golden lotus is reflected under the emerald skirt.When you move, you can shake the jade pendant in front of your chest; when you sit down, you can smell the fragrance of musk orchid.The neck is made of greasy powder, and the flower tints are cleverly pasted on the tip of the eyebrows.His behavior is astonishing, his appearance is more beautiful than that of a quiet flower; his appearance is leisurely and elegant, and his personality is as gentle as Lanhui.If it wasn't for the birth of Qige, it must be the head of Lan Fang.Just like Qiongji from the Zifu leaving Bihan, and the fairy Ruigong descending to the mortal world.

The elder stepped forward to lift the curtain to invite the little lady, and there was a private seat on the upper part of the abbot's open room.Chunmei sat down, the elder had finished her visit, and the little novice brought tea.The elder handed over the tea and said: "Today, I don't know how to go to the grave in the house, and my grandmother came here to offer sacrifices. If I fail to welcome you, I forgive you."

Chunmei said: "Outside the day, there are many elders who initiate and recommend by reciting scriptures."

The elder quickly said: "Young monk, how dare you. How can I repay the benefactor? My little grandmother gave me a lot of scriptures and money. The monk invited eight Zen monks to set up a dojo. I read the scriptures and repented for one day, and many nights later. We packed some boxes with her old man's house and incinerated them. The dojo was completed, so I sent the two housekeepers into the city to talk to my little grandma."

The elder only talked to Chunmei, and kept Wu Yueniang and the others inside, so it was difficult to come out.The moon mother was afraid that it would be late, so the little monk invited the elders to come and get up.The elder refused to let go, so the abbot came and reported to Chunmei, "I have something to do, please tell my grandma."

Chunmei said: "The elder has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

The elder then said: "There are a few ladies who are playing around in the temple, and they are rejoicing in the temple. They don't know that the little grandma is coming. Now they want to go back, but I don't know how respectful the little grandma is?"

Chunmei said, "Elder, why don't you invite us to meet you?"

The elder hurriedly came to invite Yueniang and the others.

But Wu Yueniang refused to come out, she just said: "Elder, don't see you. It's getting late, let's take our leave."

When the elder saw that he had accepted Yueniang's donation, he didn't care about it, and felt sorry for it, so he just urged him repeatedly.Wu Yueniang, Yulou, and the eldest concubine couldn't refuse, so they had to come out. Chunmei said at the first sight, "So it's the two ladies and the eldest concubine!"

The eldest concubine hurriedly returned the gift and said, "Sister, today is not comparable to what it used to be. Kill me."

Chunmei said: "What a great concubine, how can you say such a thing! I'm not that kind of person! It's natural to be superior or inferior."

After paying homage to the concubine, Chunmei kowtowed to Yueniang and Yulou.Yueniang and Yulou also want to return the gift.Chunmei couldn't help herself, she stood up, kowtowed four times, and said, "I don't know if it's the girl here, if I knew it, please come out and meet me."

Yueniang said: "Sister, ever since you left the house and stayed in the mansion, you have always been a slave and rude, never looked at you, don't blame me."

Chunmei said: "Grandma, where did you come from? How dare you say it's strange!" Seeing Ruyi holding Brother Xiao in her arms, she said, "My brother has grown up too."

Yueniang hurriedly said to Ruyi'er and Xiaoyu, "Come here, you two, and kowtow to my sister."

Ruyi'er and Xiaoyu came over smiling, and kowtowed to Chunmei.Yueniang said to Chunmei: "Sister, you accept two gifts from her."

Chunmei pulled out a pair of gold-headed and silver hairpins from her head, and stuck them on Brother Xiao's hat.

Yueniang said: "Thank you, sister, hairpin, I'm not singing with my sister yet!"

Ruyi'er hugged her elder brother, and really sang with Chunmei, she liked Yueniang very much.

Yulou said: "Sister, if you don't come to the temple today, how can our girls meet in one place?"

Chunmei said: "That's right. Because my mother was newly buried behind this temple, she was enslaved for a while, and she has no relatives and no reason, so I don't care about it. Burning a piece of paper for her, how can I get by. "

Yueniang still didn't know who she was referring to, and said, "I remember your mother has been gone for many years, and I don't know if she is buried here."

Yulou said: "My aunt still doesn't know what Sister Pang said. She said that Sixth Sister Pan is dead. Thanks to Sister, she is now buried here."

Yueniang was silent.

Wu Dajin said: "Who is so kind as my sister, who refuses to forget the past, and even buried her. You commemorate her every season, and come and burn money for her."

Chunmei said: "Good grandma, I wondered how she would praise me! Today she died a miserable death, she was left so exposed, why not bury her?"

At this time, the elder taught the young monk to place the table and set up a meal.There are two big tables of Eight Immortals, steamed crispy pancakes and dim sum, all kinds of vegetarian dishes and vegetables, all piled up on the spring table.Fine golden bud tongue, sweet water and good tea.Everyone ate and took the guy away.Uncle Wu has his own monk's room to take care of him.

Meng Yulou got up, thinking to go to Jinlian's grave and burn a piece of paper for her, which is also a sister.Seeing that Yueniang didn't move, she took out five cents of silver and taught the little novice to buy paper.The elder said: "My lady, you don't need to buy it. I have gold and silver paper here. Take a few cents and burn it." Yulou handed over the silver to the elder, and asked the little novice to lead it to the golden lotus grave under the poplar tree behind. , a pile of loess, several branches of Artemisia annua.

A stick of incense was put on the jade tower, and the paper money was lit, and he bowed and said, "sixth sister, I don't know you are buried here. Today, third sister Meng went to the temple by mistake and burned the paper money with you. Your good things will go to heaven, and your troubles will be spent on money." .” He took out the sweat towel and burst into tears:

After burning the paper, tears dripped randomly.Calling Sixth Sister, she cried so hard that she couldn't help but feel angry.I think we didn't know each other at the beginning, and we didn't blush when we were sisters.You have a strong personality and I often let you go without seeing each other. If you don't look for me, I will look for you.Just like a flounder, both of them are hot glued together.Suddenly we were separated by a gust of wind, and lived together in the same tree, once we went to fly separately.Call Sixth Sister, try to hear it: it's a pity that you are so smart that you are buried in the soil today!
Seeing Yulou going to the back, the nurse Ruyi also hugged Brother Xiao to take a look.Yueniang talked to Chunmei in the abbot, and taught the nurse not to carry the child, lest she frighten him.Ruyi'er said: "Grandma, it's okay, I know." She still took Brother Xiao to the grave, watched Yulou burning paper, and then came back crying.

Chunmei and Yueniang evened their faces, changed their clothes, and told their companions to open the food box, put all kinds of small fruits, sweets, delicacies, and snacks in boxes, and put them on the two tables. Cup tooth chopsticks, please sit on the upper floor of the eldest concubine, Yueniang, and Yulou, and she will take the lead to accompany you.Naizi and Xiaoyu are fighting on both sides.Uncle Wu, put another table in the monk's room.

While drinking wine, I suddenly saw two companions in Tsing Yi approaching, knelt down and said: "The master is in Xinzhuang, and I am here to invite my little grandma to watch a variety show. The eldest grandma and the second grandma have gone. Please hurry up, grandma." go."

Chunmei said calmly, "Go back. Got it."

The two promised to come down, but they dared not go. They waited below and waited for her to accompany her.

The eldest concubine and Yueniang were about to get up and said, "Sister, don't bother me anymore. It's getting late and you have something to do. Let's go."

Where would Chunmei be willing to let it go, she just ordered her left and right to bring a large cup to persuade her to drink, saying: "Our girls will leave less and more, and we all know each other well, so don't break this relationship. There is no reason why I have no relationship, my mother will be good tomorrow." On that day, my slave walked home."

Yue Niang said: "My sister, one word is enough, how dare I start you. One day, I will go to see my sister."

After drinking a cup, Yueniang said: "I've had enough. Your eldest sister-in-law doesn't have a sedan chair, it's very late, it's not good."

Chunmei said: "My sister-in-law doesn't have a sedan chair? I have a pony that follows me here. I took one to ride with my sister-in-law and sent it home."

Everyone packed up.Chunmei called the elder to come, and told her companion to bring out a big cloth and five qian silver to the elder.The elder thanked him and sent him out of the mountain gate.Chunmei bid farewell to Yueniang, watching Yueniang and Yulou get into the sedan chair before she got into the sedan chair.The two diverge, Yueniang and her party, followed by only a few family servants; Chunmei sedan chair, followed by a group of people, drinking Taoism, and going up to Xinzhuang.

Yueniang and her party left Yongfu Temple and came along the long embankment of big trees.Dai'an was already in the crowded and lively Gaofu place under the restaurant of Xinghua Village, where he had set up food and drink under the curtain of the sky and waited for a long time.After a while, pour the wine.Everyone sat down and was drinking, only to hear the fragrant cars and embroidered hubs downstairs, the noise of people coming and going, the thunder of cars and horses, and the sound of music and music.Everyone in Yueniang stood in Gaofu and looked around, only to see a sea of ​​people watching the teacher walk and play.

Not far from here, Li Yanei, the son of Xianggong, the magistrate of the county, named Li Gongbi, was also playing and watching the excitement.This Ya Nei is about thirty years old, and now he is the son of the state. ".Today, he was wearing light and smooth clothes, a gold-topped brown hat, dry yellow boots, and embroidered socks. He led twenty or thirty heroes with slingshots, blowing tubes, and sticks. Come to the big restaurant in Xinghua Village and watch the teacher show off.Suddenly I heard a woman's funny laughter, turned around, and saw a few women dressed in different clothes standing there watching the scene not far away in Gaofu.Looking closely at one of the women with a long and slender figure, I couldn't feel my heart shaking, I didn't see enough, I didn't see enough, I didn't say anything, and I thought to myself: "I don't know who is the woman, is there a man?" Xiao Zhang, who agreed, came over and quietly ordered: "Go to the high slope and find out who the three women in plain white belong to. The interview is true, so let me know."

Xiao Zhang Xian concealed his promise and ran away like a cloud flying.Not long after, I saw the caller coming back, walked up to him, and whispered back in his ear: "They are all relatives of the wife and children of Ximenqing's family in front of the county gate. The small one is his eldest wife Wu Yueniang; the tall one, There is Bai Mazi, looking here is his third wife, surnamed Meng, named Yulou, who is now a widow at home. The other older one is the elder lady's sister-in-law."

After hearing this, Li Yanei wrote down Meng Yulou's name alone, and rewarded Xiao Zhangxian heavily.

Seeing the sun shining on the mountain, Uncle Wu ordered Dai'an to pack up the food boxes, and urged Yueniang to get on the sedan chair and go home.

On this day, Sun Xue'e and Elder Sister Ximen were at home. There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so they all went out to stand at the front of the gate.I don't want to come over in a shock.At that time, selling rouge powder, living in flowers and greenery, and grinding mirrors all shocked the boudoir.The eldest sister asked Ping'an to stop the man: "My mirror is fainted, please polish the mirror with me."

The man put down his burden and said, "I don't know how to sharpen mirrors. I sell some gold and silver for living, jewelry and flowers." Standing in front of the door, he only looked up and down at Xue'e.

Xue'e said: "That man, you don't know how to sharpen a mirror, go ahead and just look at me!"

The man said: "Snow girl, big girl, don't you recognize me?"

The eldest sister said: "It looks familiar, but I can't remember it in a hurry."

The man said: "I am Lai Wanger who went out from my father's hand."

Xue'e then asked him: "Where have you been these few years? Why didn't you see me? You've grown so fat."

Lai Wang'er said: "I left my father's family and went to Xuzhou, where I was originally from. The family was idle and did not make a living, so I followed an old father to Beijing to be an official. Unexpectedly, his father died halfway, and Ding You's family went. I So I invested in Gu Yinsmith's shop in the city, and learned the bank's skills, and lived in all kinds of silverware. It was late in the past two days, and Gu Yinsmith taught me to carry out the burden, and sell some odds and ends on the street. I saw women At the door, if you dare not come to recognize each other, I am afraid that you will have gone through the door. It is not your old man who stopped me today, so I dare not recognize each other."

Xue'e said: "So it's like this. I just recognized it for a long time, but I couldn't remember it. I'm an old child, so I'm afraid of what!" Then she asked: "What kind of life are you selling in your burden? Pick it in and wait for us Take a look."

Lai Wang'er took the load into the inner yard, opened the box, and used the box to hold out several pieces of jewelry, which were inlaid with gold and silver, and made very ingeniously.Xue'e looked at it once, and asked Lai Wanger: "You still have flowers and greens, take them out." Lai Wanger took another box, with all kinds of big green temple flowers, green wings full of crowns, and bits and pieces of grass and insects to live in.The elder sister picked two pairs of temple flowers.Sun Xue'e kept a pair of emerald phoenixes and a pair of golden fishes wearing willows.The eldest sister immediately weighed out the silver and gave it to him.Xue'e owed him one or two taels of silver, so she made an appointment with him: "Come and pick it up tomorrow morning. Your aunt is not at home today, and your third mother and brother went to the grave to burn paper with your father."

Laiwang said: "When I was at home last year, I heard people say that my father was dead, and my aunt gave birth to a brother. I'm afraid it will grow up."

Xue'e said: "Your aunt is only half a week old now. A family, big or small, is like a jewel on a jewel. It all depends on him to live."

Here, Lai Zhao's wife Yi Zhangqing came out and poured a cup of tea with him.Then Wang'er took the tea and sang a song with her.Lai Zhao was also in front of him, had a conversation with him, and said: "You come to see the aunt tomorrow."

Lai Wanger took the burden and went out.

In the evening, Yueniang and all the sedan chairs came home.Xue'e, eldest sister and all the family members, daughters-in-law and girls followed suit and kowtowed.

Yueniang told Xue'e and eldest sister about meeting Chunmei: "So she buried Pan's family behind the temple, and we didn't know. She came to burn paper for her mother and met her by mistake. The girls recognized their relatives again. First, the elders in the temple set up a fast and ate, and then put down two tables and seats. The teacher should put on forty or fifty boxes of her family, all kinds of vegetables and vegetables for the rice, and the sifted wine. When she saw her brother, she got another pair of hairpins. She was so unkind, and she got up and down, sitting in a big sedan chair, and many followed her. Moreover, she grew up better than before, and became whiter and fatter."

Mrs. Wu said: "She doesn't change and often forgets the old. At that time in our house, I saw that she was more upright than all the maids, and she spoke calmly, which is a material. You see, today's blessing is so good, so good luck. "

Yulou said: "My sister didn't ask her, I asked her, and sure enough, she hasn't washed and changed for half a year, and she is pregnant with a happy event. There are only children in August and September, so I don't like it. Sister Xue is not bad."

After talking about Chunmei for a while, Xue'e brought up Lai Wanger: "My mother is not here today, my eldest sister and I saw Lai Wanger at the door. It turned out that I learned silversmithing here again, selling gold and silver to make a living. We didn’t recognize him anymore, so we bought some of his flowers and greens. He asked my mother to come, and I said that I had burned paper on the grave.”

Yue Niang said: "Why don't you teach him to wait for me to come home?"

Xue'e said, "We'll ask him to come tomorrow."

Sitting and talking, the nurse Ruyier came to Yueniang and said, "Brother came home, I just fell asleep for half a day, my mouth was cold, and my body was burning hot."

Yueniang panicked when she heard this, she picked up the baby on the kang, rubbed her mouth, she was really sweating, and her whole body was hot, so she scolded Ruyi: "What a whore, it's because the sedan chair has chilled the baby."

Ruyi said: "I'm wrapped tightly in a small quilt, how can I be cold."

Yue Niang said again: "If not, I hugged him to the dead ghost's grave to frighten him. I waited for my order to teach you not to hug him. If you don't obey, you can hug him like a wave!"

Ruyi'er said: "Sister Xiaoyu was watching, carried him over there, and came after looking at him, how long have you been bluffing him?"

Yue Niang said: "Don't talk! It's okay to look at it? But he was bluffed." Immediately she called Lai'an and said, "Hurry up and ask Mrs. Liu to go."

After a while, Mrs. Liu came, checked her pulse, wiped her body, and said, "I felt a little cold, and I encountered some trouble." She left two doses of cinnabar pills and poured them with ginger soup.He told his grandma to hold him and sleep on the kang.

In the middle of the night, brother Xiao broke out in a cold sweat, and his body became cold.Yueniang then took care of Mrs. Liu to have tea, gave her three qian and told her to come back tomorrow.

The whole family was in a panic, opening and closing the house, and they were in a hurry in the middle of the night.

The next day, Lai Wang'er still took the burden of life to the head of Ximen Qingmen, and sang with Lai Zhao, saying: "Yesterday Miss Xue left me some life, and promised to come to pick up the silver today, and then I will see my aunt."

Lai Zhao said: "Go ahead and come another day. Yesterday my aunt came home, and my brother was not good. She asked the doctor's wife and the imperial doctor to see and prescribe the medicine. I was in a mess all night. I was really anxious. Today is better, so I don't have the time to call it money and money. you."

Just as they were talking, Yueniang, Yulou and Xue'e sent Mrs. Liu to the front of the gate and saw Lai Wanger.

Lai Wanger lay on the ground and kowtowed to Yueniang and Yulou.

Yueniang said: "Whenever I don't see you, I won't come here for a walk."

Lai Wang'er told the story again, and said, "It's not easy to come."

Yue Niang said: "What's the old woman's fear? Your father is gone again. Back then, it was only because of the Pan family's whore, who set fire on one end and water on the other end, and held her tongue. She strangled a good daughter-in-law to death; There will be trouble, and I will send you away. The sky will not allow it today, where did she go!"

Laiwang said: "I can't say it, it's just that my mother understands it in her heart."

After talking for a while, Yueniang asked him what kind of life he was selling. She took it out and took a look. After picking up a few pieces of jewelry from him, she should pay him three or two taels of silver, and weighed them all with him.He was also asked to enter the Yimen, and told Xiaoyu to fetch a jug of wine and a plate of snacks, and teach him to eat.That Xue'e pushed hard on the kitchen, and heated up a big bowl of meat and brought it out to him.Lai Wang'er was full with wine and food, so he kowtowed and went out.Yueniang and everyone in Yulou went to the back.

Xue'e talked to Lai Wang'er quietly alone: ​​"You often come and walk, what are you afraid of! I have something to teach Lai Zhao's sister-in-law to tell you. Tomorrow evening, I will wait in the ear room in front of Ziqianger in this Yimen. you."

When Lai Wanger saw her wink, she knew what she meant, and said, "Is this gate of ceremonies closed at night?"

Xue'e said: "You come to the Zhao room first, and wait until late at night, step on the step stool, cross the wall, follow the screen, and I will pick you up here. The two of us will meet together, and I will tell you the details Say."

When Laiwang got this remark, it was from his forehead that he grew joy to his cheeks, saying goodbye to Xue'e, and going out with his burden.

The next day, Laiwang didn't take the burden to come out to sell his life, and slowly came to Ximen Qingmenshou, waiting for Laizhao to come out and sing with him.

Laizhao then said, "Wang'er is rare, why do you care about me?"

Lai Wang'er said: "It's okay, let's walk around. The snow girl wants me some money for living. I didn't give it yesterday. Now I come to ask for it."

Lai Zhao said: "In that case, please come and sit in the room." He let him sit in the room.

"Why is sister-in-law missing?" Lai Wanger asked.

"Your sister-in-law is cooking in the back today," Lai Zhao said.

Lai Wang'er took out a tael of silver, handed it to Lai Zhao, and said, "For these few silver coins, take a pot of wine and eat with my brother and sister-in-law."

"Why waste so much!" Lai Zhao took it and called his son Tie Gun'er over.

Tie Gun'er has already raised his head, he is 15 years old.He took out the jug and poured a large amount of wine.Laizhao asked him to go to the back and called Yizhang Qing to come.

After a while, Yizhangqing came in with a tin pot covered with hot rice, a large bowl of miscellaneous boiled rice, and two plates of vegetables, and said, "Okay, Wang Guaner is here."

Laizhao then took out the silver and looked at it with his wife, saying, "Brother spends money, and I want to make a pot of wine for the two of us to eat."

Yizhangqing said with a smile, "how can you suffer without merit?" While putting down the kang table, let Lai Wangkang sit on it.Put down the wine and dishes, and pour the wine.Lai Wang'er first poured out a cup and handed it to Lai Zhao; the next time he poured out a cup and shared it with Yizhangqing, singing deeply, saying: "I have never seen my brother and sister-in-law, this glass of water and wine is filial to my brother and sister-in-law."

Yi Zhangqing then said: "Brother and sister-in-law don't talk about wine and meat, you will hurt yourself! Don't tell lies to the real person. The snow girl inside has already asked me to know me yesterday. The old love between you two continues, so please take care of us. You don't want to ask about the way down the mountain in your dreams, but you have to come here. If you meet in Hong Kong and something comes out, don't eat it alone. You have to teach me to sip some juice. I will spend a lot of money on your behalf. "

Laiwang knelt down and said, "I just want my brother and sister-in-law to be considerate, and I don't dare to forget."

After drinking for a while, Yizhangqing went back to talk to Xue'e, came out and said to Laiwang, and agreed to come and hide in Zhao's house at night, and close the door at night, and the people behind rested, using coughing as a signal, Go over the wall and get things out of it.Laiwang bid farewell.

In the evening, Lai Wangji came to Zhao's house to drink and eat with him.When it got deeper, only the sound of Xue'e coughing in the wall was heard.Lai Wang'er stepped on the step stool, climbed over the whitewashed wall in the dark, and went down along the sunshade eaves, Xue'e followed with a stool.The two of them hugged and hugged each other at the place where the saddles were piled up in the west ear room.They are both widows and widows, and their desires are like fire.Then Wang'er was strong with a gun, so he tried his best to challenge him once.

After the matter was over, Xue'e handed him a bag of gold and silver jewellery, a few taels of silver, and two pieces of satin clothes, and said: "Come back tomorrow evening, I have some things for you. Find a place to live outside. Go there. In the end, if the family can't live well, why don't I go out quietly with you, find a house outside, and become a couple. You know how to bank, so you can't live well?"

Lai Wang'er said: "Now there is one of my aunts in Ximi Lane outside the east gate. She is a famous confinement lady Qu. Her winding alleys are hidden from the eyes. The two of us will go there. Later , if there is no movement, I will take you to the home of your origin, and buy a few acres of land to plant."

The discussion has been made, Lai Wang'er bid farewell to Xue'e, still climbed over the wall and came to Lai Zhao's room.Wait until dawn to open the door and go out.At dusk, he came to the door again and walked into Zhao's house.At a deeper time, I still jumped over the wall, two officers.Day and night, not only for one day, but also many small and soft things, gold and silver utensils, clothes and the like were stolen.Lai Zhao and his wife also have to draw a lot of points to enrich themselves.

One day, Yueniang was upset when she saw Brother Xiao's flowers blooming, so she went to bed early.Zhongqiuer, the maid in Xue'e's room, was originally envoyed by the elder sister.Because the Yuanxiaoer in Li Jiaoer's room was taken by the economy, Yueniang gave Zhongqiuer and Xue'e, and made Yuanxiaoer serve the elder sister.Xue'e sent Mid-Autumn Festival to sleep, and packed a large bag of hairpins and rings in the room, and put them in a box.Covering his head with a handkerchief and carrying his clothes with him, he agreed that Lai Wang'er would wait in Laizhao's house, and the two of them would leave.

Lai Zhao said, "You're leaving. I'll guard the gate and let the water ducks go. If Madam knows, ask me what's wrong with me. Why don't you two go up to the house and break some tiles, and there are still traces."

Laiwang said: "My brother also said that."

Xue'e left another silver zhemeng, a golden earwo, a green silk jacket and a yellow silk skirt, and thanked him.Wait until the fifth watch drum, when the moon is dark, pick up from the next room.Laizhao and his wife sifted two more bells of warm wine, and ate it with Laiwang and Xue'e, saying, "It's easy to go after eating, and you will be more courageous on the road." Take the ladder, climb up the house, walk step by step, and break many tiles on the house.When I got to the eaves, no one was walking on the street.Laiwang listened to whether there was a sound of patrolling. If not, he jumped down first, and then taught Xue'e to step on his shoulders and hug him down.

The two walked forward to the intersection, but were stopped by the police.

The policeman asked, "Where are you going?"

Xue'e panicked.

Lai Wang'er took his time, flicked the official incense in his hand, and said: "I am a husband and wife. I went to burn incense in the Yue Temple outside the city. I got up early. Don't blame me, sir."

"What's in the baggage?" the patrolman asked.

"It's a joss stick paper horse."

"It's a good thing for the couple to burn incense in the Yue Temple, so go quickly."

Lai Wang'er heard this, and pulled Xue'e forward to fly away.When they got to the bottom of the city, the city gate opened.So the two of them fought and went out of the city, turned a few streets, and came to Grandma Qu's house in Ximi Lane.

Grandma Qu hadn't opened the door yet, after calling for a long time, Grandma Qu got up and opened the door, looking Xue'e up and down.Lai Wang'er said: "This woman is my new wife and child. My aunt has a house here, and I will borrow one for a while, and then look for a house." Then, he handed over three liang of silver to Grandma Qu, and taught him how to buy it. Firewood.

Grandma Qu took the silver and saw the two of them bringing gold and silver jewelry, she felt suspicious, but she couldn't tell.

Lai Wang'er's original surname was Zheng, but now she is called Zheng Wang, and she and Xue'e lived in Grandma Qu's house.

Grandma Qu had a son named Qu Tong. When she found out that Zheng Wang and his wife had brought gold and silver jewellery, they had malicious intentions. When the two were not paying attention, they stole a lot and used them for money.But he was caught, and the incident was revealed, and he was taken to the official.

Lizhi County saw that it was stolen by thieves, and the evidence of the stolen goods was there. They sent people to escort Qu Tong to his home, and tied Zheng Wang and Sun Xue'e with a rope.That Xue'e's face was sallow from fright, she changed into dismal clothes, took off the rings on her hands with eye veil, and sent the gentleman away, and was escorted to see the official.Immediately aroused a street of people to watch.

Xue'e disappeared from Yueniang's house, and when Zhongqiu'er came to report that the soft jewelry in the box in the room was gone, and the clothes were thrown into a mess, she was shocked and asked Zhongqiu'er: "You sleep with her, she left, Don't you know?"

Zhong Qiu'er said, "She's going to sneak out outside late at night. She won't be back until half a day, so I don't know the details."

Yueniang asked Laizhao again: "You guard the gate, why don't you know when people go out?"

Lai Zhao said, "The gate is locked every day, so she will fly out!"

Lai Zhao led Yueniang to look at the house along the whitewashed wall, and saw that there were many tiles on the house.Yueniang even believed that she had escaped from the house, and she didn't dare to ask anyone to look for her, so she had to hold back and bear it.

Lizhi County inquired about the case in court, first clamped Qu Tong, and recovered four pieces of gold heads, three pieces of silver jewellery, a pair of gold rings, two silver cups, five taels of broken silver, two pieces of clothes, and a handkerchief , One box.Ask Zheng Wang again, and chase out 30 taels of silver, a pair of golden bowl hairpins, a golden fairy, and four rings.Ask Xue'e again, recover a gold heart, a pair of silver bracelets, five pairs of gold hairpins, four pairs of silver hairpins, and a bag of broken silver;In the future, Wanger asked the imitation slaves and maidservants to steal property because of rape. Qu boring was theft, both of which were miscellaneous crimes of death.Xue'e's sun family is Ximen Qing's concubine, and she had a fling with Grandma Qu.Grandma Qu confessed and let go.Xue'e ordered the county to send people to Ximen Qing's house to teach people to hand over the collar to Sun's family.

Wu Yueniang hurriedly called Uncle Wu to discuss: "I've made a fool of myself, so what did I bring here for no reason? No one insulted the family, and pretended to be dead." So he sent the official money and returned the county magistrate's words: do not receive.

The magistrate called the official media to sell Xue'e as an official office.

When this matter was heard by Chunmei of the Garrison Mansion, her heart moved, she wanted to buy her into the kitchen and slap her in the mouth to avenge her past.Chunmei said to the guard: "Xue'e is good at cooking, and will make good tea, rice and soup. Buy it to serve at home."

Even if the defense should send Zhang Sheng and Li An to tell the county magistrate with a post.Seeing that the county magistrate wanted to buy it for defense, he wanted to do it for his own sake, and the official price was only eight taels of silver.

After handing over the money, Xue'e was led into the garrison mansion, where she first met the eldest grandma and second grandma Sun Shi, and then went to see Chunmei in the room.

Chunmei got up in the room amidst the brocade curtains on the gold bed, when her servant girl led Xue'e to meet her.Seeing that it was Chunmei, Xue'e couldn't help but bow down to see her. Looking up, she fell down and kowtowed four heads.Chunmei stared at Xue'e when she saw Xue'e, and called the family's daughter-in-law who was on duty to come up: "Come with me, take this bitch off her bun, strip off her clothes, put her in the kitchen, and cook with me. !"

When Xue'e heard this, she only complained in her heart.Since ancient times, the wall boards have been turned up and down, but the rice sweeper has been the warehouseman.Since you are under the roof of others, how dare you not bow your head?At this point, Sun Xue'e had no choice but to take off her bun, changed her clothes, and went to the kitchen with a sad face.

Chen Jingji learned from Mrs. Xue that something happened to Xue'e, she had been sold into the garrison, and was beaten and scolded by Chunmei day and night.Taking advantage of this reason, the young man sent Mrs. Xue to go to Ximen Qing's house and tell Yueniang that he had spoken out and didn't want his eldest sister. Gold and silver boxes cage soft things.

Yueniang has been in disarray these days: one, Sun Xue'e was abducted by Lai Wanger for stealing money; two, Chunhong's servant left first, and Lai An'er also left; Dead again, just sent out.Hearing what Mrs. Xue said, she hurriedly hired a sedan chair and sent her eldest sister to the Chen family. The elder sister's bed dowry box and dowry things were handed over to Dai'an and hired to carry them to the Chen family.

Ji Ji said: "This is the bed curtain dowry she carried with her to marry me, and the soft gold and silver box kept in my house. I must ask for it back!"

Mrs. Xue said: "Your eldest mother-in-law said that when her father-in-law was here, she only received these dowries and dowry, and didn't see your other boxes."

The economy needs girl Yuanxiao again.Mrs. Xue and Dai'an came back and said to Yueniang.

Yueniang refused to give Yuan Xiao'er to him, and said, "This girl is the envoy of Li Jiaoer's room. No one is looking after her now, so she will see her sooner or later." So she sent Zhongqiu'er over, saying that she was Bought the waiter elder sister's.

The economy does not want Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mrs. Xue and Dai An'er ran back and forth.

Mrs. Zhang said to Dai'an, "brother, you go to the top of your aunt at home: there are many sisters in your family, and it's not rare for this girl to take care of her brothers. Since you have been in the room with your eldest sister, your brother-in-law has adopted her again." , what does your aunt only care about?"

Dai'an came home and told Yueniang this.Yue Niang had nothing to say, so she had to send Yuan Xiao'er away.

The economy accepted it here, full of joy, and said: "How come, you also come to me this way? It is to spare you that you are a ghost, and you also eat my footwashing water."

Yueniang thought she could take a breather, but unexpectedly another official media came, and someone wanted to marry Meng Yulou.
