Proud Maid Chunmei

Chapter 8
Chunmei really took Qiuju to search all over the garden, searched under the grape arbor, but missed the shelf, where can I find that big red embroidered shoe?
Chunmei scolded: "Slave, your matchmaker has lost her way, there's nothing left to say! Mother Wang sold the mill, so she can't push it!"

Qiu Ju bowed her head because of her scolding: "I don't know who stole this shoe from mother." After a while, she looked at Chunmei and said, "I remember, I didn't see mother wearing it into the house yesterday. Did you open the garden gate yesterday and let someone come in and pick up your mother's shoes?"

Chunmei didn't even think about whether her words were reasonable or not, she spit and scolded: "You damn slave, you're pestering me again! Liu Niang called the door, I won't open it for her? Ke Keer's Just let people in. You are holding your mother's bedding, and you don't care to look at it, and dare to talk!"

This is due to the woman's strong heart, Chunmei didn't even think that she had anything to do with it.If you calm down and think about it, you will think that the little monkey Tie Banger also entered the garden.

Chunmei escorted Qiuju back to the room.Jinlian taught Chunmei to drag her to kneel in the yard. Qiuju said with a mournful face, "I'll look for it in the garden again, if I can't find it, just follow my mother."

Chunmei: Mother don't trust her.The ground in the garden has been swept clean, even the needles have been found, where are the shoes?
Qiu Ju said: "Didn't I say that, when I can't find it again, I'll just teach my mother to beat it. Why are you poking your tongue?"

Jin Lian said to Chunmei: "Forget it, follow this servant and see where she can find her."

Chunmei escorted her to search all the snow caves under the hill in the garden, beside the flower pond, and under the pine wall, but found nothing.Qiu Ju panicked too.Chunmei was annoyed, she slapped her twice, and was about to pull her back to see Jinlian.

Qiu Ju said: "There is still that snow cave that I haven't found."

Chunmei said: "There is Daddy's greenhouse in Cangchunwu, and Mother has never been there. I think you are looking for it, but you can't find it. Let me talk to you?" So she escorted her into the snow cave in Cangchunwu. Inside.

On the front is a sitting bed, next to it is an incense table, I have searched for it, but there is none.Go to the book case again.

Chunmei said: "This book case is full of father's invitation papers. Why did mother's shoes get here? No one has to spend some time rummaging through them. It's a mess. It's another scene when father sees it. You crooked bones are dead."

That Qiu Ju didn't listen to her, she just looked through.After a long time, she said: "These are not mother's shoes! They are still wrapped in a paper bag, wrapped in some sticks of incense and straw." Then, she took them out and looked at them with Chunmei.Then he said: "Why, there are no mother's shoes here? Just now you instigated mother to beat me."

Chunmei took it over and saw it turned out to be a red flat shoe, and said, "Damn it, why did you come into this book basket? No one came into this snow cave yesterday. It's so strange!"

The two came to see Jinlian with their shoes.Chunmei replied: "I found it in the book basket of my dad's warm room in Cangchunwu, and wrapped it with some postcards, straw, and benzoin."

Jin Lian took the shoe and held it in her hand, and took hers for comparison. They were all satin flat-soled shoes with red four seasons flowers inlaid with eight treasures, white satin embroidered shoes, green boots, and blue gold.Only the stitching on the shoes is worse: one is yarn green stitching, the other is emerald blue stitching, you can't see it unless you look carefully.Jin Lian tried again on her feet, and the one she found was a little tighter than the other, so she knew it was Laiwang's daughter-in-law's shoe.He secretly said in his heart: "I don't know when I was with a thief and a strong man. I dare not take it into the house and hide it there quietly. I don't want to be turned out by this slave again." So he said to Qiu Ju: "This shoe is not mine, slave. Get on your knees with me!" He then told Chunmei, "Put a stone against her."

Qiu Ju burst into tears and said: "Whose shoes are not mother's shoes? I finally found the shoes for mother, and I will be beaten. If I can't find them again, I don't know how to beat me!"

Jin Lian scolded: "Thief slave, stop talking, hurry up and kneel down."

Qiu Ju cried, wiped her tears, went to the yard, and knelt on the ground.Chunmei threw a big rock on top of her head.

When Qiu Ju saw it, she said, "You can also take a smaller one. It's so big, you can't move it, and neither can I."

Chunmei said, "Stop rambling, I haven't gone to push the millstone yet."

Jin Lian had already changed into another pair of shoes on her feet.Thinking it was hot in the room, she told Chunmei to put the dressing box on the Wanhua Building, and go there to comb her hair. After combing her hair, she wanted to beat Qiuju.

The shoe was picked up by the little iron rod.

Chen Jingji came in from the shop to find clothes in the morning and walked to the corner door of the garden.The little iron rod was playing there. Seeing that Chen Jingji was holding a pair of silver mesh rings in his hand, he asked, "Uncle, what are you holding? Let me play with it."

Ji Ji said: "This is a net towel ring owned by someone else. Come to redeem it. I will find it and give it to him."

The little monkey smiled and said, "Uncle, give me something to play with, and I'll give you something nice in exchange."

"Silly boy, this is someone else's property, so I can't let you play with it. If you want to play with it, I'll find another pair to play with you. If you have any good things, bring them to me."

The little monkey then took out a red embroidered shoe from its pocket and looked at the economy.

The economy asked, "Where is it from?"

"Uncle, let me tell you. I was playing in the garden yesterday, and saw my father hanging my fifth mother's legs under the grape arbor, and a gust of wind shook them down. Later, my father went in, and I looked for my mother. Aunt Chunmei asked for fruit, so she picked up this shoe under the grape trellis."

Economics took the shoe in hand, and saw that the shoe was curved like a crescent moon in the sky, red like a lotus flower with its petals withdrawn, and he held it just three inches in his palm, and he knew it belonged to Jinlian's feet, so he said kindly to the little iron stick: " You give this thing to me first, and I will definitely find another pair of good circles to play with you tomorrow."

The little monkey said: "Uncle, stop coaxing me, I will ask you for it tomorrow."

"I don't coax you!"

The little iron rod laughed and played.

Chen Jiji took off his shoes in his sleeves, turned around and walked to the Golden Lotus Room. As he walked, he thought: "I teased her a few times, but she was still alive. When it came to the critical moment, she walked away again. Today is a day of rest." Then, this shoe fell into my hand. Today I will really tease her, not afraid that she will not be in the tent." Turning around the screen wall, I saw Qiu Ju kneeling in the courtyard, with beads of sweat on her forehead, and said jokingly : "Miss, why did you come to vote for the new army and pick up stones again?"

When Jin Lian heard it from upstairs, she asked Chunmei to ask, "Who said she picked up the stone? Could it be that this servant didn't hold it?"

Chunmei said, "It's my brother-in-law. Qiuju is holding the rock."

Jin Lian called out, "Brother Chen, there is no one upstairs, so you came up."

The young man Chen Jingji had just picked up his clothes and went upstairs, only to see Jin Lian opening two windows in front of the building, hanging Xiang curtains, and combing her hair in front of the mirror.He went to a little girl next to him and sat down, watching Jin Lian combing her hair without saying a word.Golden lotus-like black oily hair, combed arm-in-arm and dragged on the floor, tied with red silk ropes, gathered in a nest, wearing a silver silk bun, with a hint of incense; inside the bun are many rose petals , with four temples exposed, dressed like a living Guanyin.

Jinlian combed her hair, washed her hands in the basin, put on her clothes, and called Chunmei to bring tea for her brother-in-law.

The economy just laughed and kept silent.

"What is brother-in-law laughing at?" Jin Lian asked.

"I laugh at you for missing something."

"The thief is short-lived, what does it matter to you if I don't see anything? How do you know?"

"Look, I made a donkey's liver and lungs out of kindness, and you're making fun of me. Yeh, I'll go."

The economy withdrew and went downstairs.Jinlian grabbed her hand.Said: "Strange short life, it will be Zhang Zhi! Laiwang's daughter-in-law is dead, and she has lost her mind, but how can she still recognize my old lady?" Then asked: "Guess what I'm missing?"

Ji Ji took out the shoe from his sleeve, held it up and pulled the handle, and said with a smile, "Look at this good one, whose is it?"

Seeing her, Jinlian saw that it was her red embroidered shoe, and she said, "It's so short-lived, so you stole my shoe! Teach me to beat the girl and look around the ground."

"How did you get your shoes into my hands?" Chen Jingji said with a smile.

"Who else is coming in my room? How dare you steal this shoe from me." Jin Lian said unhappily.

"You are not shy, old man. I came to your house again these two days? How could I steal from you?" Chen Jingji still smiled.

"What a thief is short-lived, wait until I tell your father! You stole my shoes and said I'm not shy." Jin Lian couldn't help laughing.

"You have to use daddy to frighten me." Chen Jingji stopped laughing.

"You are so timid! Knowing that your father and Laiwang's daughter-in-law have seven or eight wives, you still dare to tease her. Since you didn't steal my shoes, why did these shoes fall into your hands? Tell me the truth as soon as possible. , Return my shoes, and you will benefit from it. Since ancient times, you have seen the Lord, and you don’t ask for it. But if you enter half a word, you will die without a place to bury you." Jin Lian said.

"Your old man is a woman, and you can be tricky. There is no one here, so we can talk. If you want shoes, bring me something, and I will exchange it with you. Otherwise, Tianlei can't get out." Chen Economic way.

"What a short life! My shoes should be returned to me, what can I exchange for you?" Jin Lian said.

Ji Ji smiled: "Wu Niang, you can reward your son with the sweat towel on your sleeve, and the son will return your shoes."

Jin Lian refused: "I'll find another good sweat towel tomorrow. This sweat towel has been seen by your father all day long, so it's not good for you."

"I don't. Other sweat towels are worth a hundred square meters to me. I only want your old man's square." Chen Jingji was itching all over his body.

Jin Lian laughed and said, "You're so short-lived, I don't have the energy to entangle you." So she took out a thin bunch of fringed white silk from her sleeve, and Yingying burned Yexiang sweat towel with three things on it. They all looted him.

Economy quickly took it in his hand, and sang a deep song with her.

Jin Lian instructed: "You should keep it hidden, don't teach Eldest Sister to see, she is not a good talker."

"I know." The boy took out his sweat towel, handed her the shoes, and told her about the little iron rod picking up the shoes and changing the net towel ring.

When Jinlian heard this, her face turned red.Silver teeth gritted secretly: "Look at this little servant, my shoes are so black and dirty with oily hands! Look at me teaching his father to beat him and not to beat him."

Ji Ji quickly said: "You killed me. It doesn't matter if you beat him, just rely on me if you dare, I said it, so don't say it!"

Jin Lian said: "I'll spare this little servant, unless I spare Scorpion!"

The two were talking about being in a lively place, when they suddenly heard that An'er was looking for him, saying that Ximen Qing had asked Chen Jingji to write a courtesy note in the front hall.Jin Lian hurriedly urged him to go out.

Jinlian came downstairs and taught Chunmei to fetch a board to beat Qiu Ju, and at the same time ordered Qiu Ju to lie down so that she could hit the board.

Qiu Ju refused to lie down, and said: "Mother Xun's shoes are here, and Mother will beat me."

Jin Lian showed her the shoes brought by Chen Jingji just now, and scolded: "Thief slave, you take that as my shoe, where do you put this?"

Qiu Ju stared at it, and dared not recognize it for a long time, and said, "This is a strange act, how could you get out of my mother's three shoes?"

When Jin Lian heard this, she was annoyed: "Bold slave! Whose shoe do you dare to prevaricate me, how can you say that I am a three-legged toad? Where did this shoe come from?"

This Pan Jinlian was annoyed in her heart, and she just wanted to find a place to vent, an outlet to vent her anger.Where did Huilian's shoe come from? Chunmei had already told her, but now she asked again, how should she answer?This Qiu Ju is really stupid, how can she say that her mother has three shoes?
Without any explanation, Jinlian taught Chunmei to pull Qiuju down and hit ten boards, until Qiuju cried with her hands in her arms. Looking at Chunmei, she said, "You were the one who opened the door and taught someone to come in and take away your mother's shoes. This time, my mother beat me." .”

Chunmei knew that when she opened the door for Ping'er yesterday, she accidentally let the little monkey sneak in to pick up the shoes, but she couldn't admit it at this moment, so she scolded: "You cleared up mother's bed, but you lost mother's shoes. Mother After beating you a few times, you still dare to complain about others! This is not just a shoe, if the hairpin ring on the mother's head is missing, you just have to rely on someone else? The mother is sorry for the love, and I beat you less. If it were me, I would call a servant outside and beat you twenty or thirty times hotly, and see how you are, a slave!"

Qiu Ju swallowed her anger after being scolded by her, and said nothing more.

After a while, Ximen Qing came to Jinlian's room. Jinlian told him about the little iron rod picking up the shoes, and said, "It's all your worthless goods, and you did it for nothing! The little boy who taught the thief to kill The servant picked up my shoes and took them outside, who didn't see it? I knew it, and I was about to come over. If you don't hit him twice, you'll get used to him by tomorrow."

Ximen Qing heard this, but didn't ask for details: How did you know that Little Tie Roan picked up his shoes?Who told you to come?But he rushed to the front in a rush.The little monkey didn't know, it was playing on the stone platform, when Ximen Qing grabbed the top corner, punched and kicked it, until it screamed like a pig, and then stopped.The little monkey lay on the ground, dead for half a day.In a panic, Zhao and his wife came to help and rescued them, and they woke up half a day later.Seeing that the child was bleeding from the nose and mouth, I took him back to the room and asked him slowly, only to find out that it was about picking up shoes.Yizhangqing angrily went to the kitchen at the back, pointed and cursed, and cursed all the time: "The thief is not a good whore, you bastard! What kind of enmity does my child have with you? He is only eleven years old. Two years old. What do you know? Do you know where he was born? Just instigated him to beat him so much that his nose and mouth were bleeding. If he died, you whores and bastards would be no good, and you wouldn’t be able to fulfill your wishes !"

Jin Lian was drinking with Ximen Qing in the room, so she couldn't hear the scolding.

Wanxi went to bed, Ximenqing saw that Jinlian was wearing two gauze silk sleeping shoes on her feet, and Dahong raised the heels, so she said, "Ah! Why do you wear these shoes on your feet? It's so weird!"

Jin Lian said: "I only have a pair of red sleeping shoes, but the little servant picked up one and spoiled mine. How can I ask for a second pair?"

Ximen Qing said: "My son, you can make a pair of them tomorrow and wear them on your feet. You don't know, you only like wearing red shoes, and you love them when you look at them."

Jin Lian said, "I'm sorry, my servant. I remembered something, but I forgot about it." Yinling Chunmei said, "Take that shoe and show it to him!"

Chunmei brought Huilian's shoe.

Jin Lian asked Ximen Qing, "Do you know whose shoe this is?"

Ximen Qing looked at it and said, "I don't know whose shoes it is."

Jin Lian said to Chunmei: "Look, he still beats a dick!" Then she said to Ximen Qing: "Hiding my yellow cat and black tail, what a cocoon you did! Laiwang's wife and wife are dead A stinky hoof of mine is stored like a pearl on a treasure in the snow cave in the hidden spring dock at the bottom of the mountain. In the invitation box, some writing paper and incense are placed together. It is not a rare thing, no wonder it is so rare. The thief and adulteress died and fell into the hell of Abi!" Pointing to Qiuju, he cursed: "This servant took it as my shoe, turned it out again, and taught me to hit it a few times." Then he ordered Chunmei: "Take it with me as soon as possible. The shoe of the dead harlot is thrown away!"

Chunmei swept the shoes to the ground, looked at Qiu Ju and said, "I'll give you a reward and wear them!"

This Qiu Ju was so stupid, she picked up the shoe in her hand and said: "Mother, this shoe can only hold my toe."

Jin Lian became even more angry, and scolded: "You thief slave, what kind of mother do you call her! She is the mother of your master's previous life! Otherwise, why did you collect her shoes so preciously so that they can be passed on to future generations? Shameless goods!"

Only then did Qiu Ju go out with her shoes, only to be called back by Jin Lian: "Take the knife, wait until I chop up the adulteress into pieces and loot them into the latrine, so that the thief and adulteress will never be reborn forever behind the shadowy mountain!" Yin said to Ximen Qing: "The more you look at it, the more distressed you are, the more I'm going to chop it up. You see."

Ximen Qing remained silent, looked at her and let her scold. At this moment, he smiled unnaturally: "It's my servant, just throw it away. I don't have such a heart."

Jin Lian said: "You don't have the heart, so you just swear. The adulteress died and went to nowhere, what do you still keep her shoes for? Look at her sooner or later, so you can think about her, don't you? Seriously, we and you You didn't care about that, and even taught others to plan with you."

Ximen Qing laughed and said, "Forget it, I blame the little whore, but she has these things. When she was here, she never behaved badly in front of you." Then, he hugged the golden lotus powder neck and kissed her mouth.The two of them were together again.

One day, Ximen Qing was sitting in the front hall, and Ping'an'er, who was guarding the gate, came to report: "Master Zhou of the Garrison Mansion sent someone to send a face-mian gentleman, named Wu Shenxian, to wait and see father at the gate."

Ximen Qing please come in immediately.I saw this Immortal Wu wearing a green preacher hat, cloth gown, straw sandals, yellow silk double tassels around his waist, and a tortoise shell fan in his hand, floating in from the outside.He was about forty years old, and he was as clear as the bright moon of the Yangtze River, and his ancient appearance was like Taihua Qiaosong, majestic and dignified.Ximen Qing stepped down to welcome him to the hall. Seeing Ximen Qing, the gods bowed to each other, and Jishou sat down.Let's have some tea and sit down and talk.

Ximen Qing said: "Just ask the gods about their high names, where is the fairy town? How did you meet Mr. Zhou?"

Wu Shenxian sat up and bowed his body and said: "The poor Taoist surname is Wu, his first name is Shi, and his Taoist name is Shouzhen. He was born in Xianyou, Zhejiang. He became a monk from Zixu Temple in Tiantai Mountain since he was a child. He traveled to the country, because he went to Daizong to visit Taoism, Taoist scriptures. Your place. Mr. Zhou made an appointment with the soldiers to see his old lady's eyesight, so he sent him to the mansion for a visit."

"Which schools of yin and yang does the old fairy master? Which schools of physiognomy do you teach?" Ximen Qing asked again.

"The impoverished man knows Thirteen Family Ziping, is good at sackcloth physiognomy, and knows Liuren's magic class. He often uses medicine to save people, does not love wealth, and lives in the world at any time." The immortal answered calmly.

After hearing this, Ximenqing respected him more and more, and boasted: "True is called a fairy."

The immortal said: "Mr. Zhou's soldiers sent the poor Taoists here, and they have never observed the relatives. How can they give them fast first?"

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Immortal Changyuan, I must have not used the morning fast. Waiting to use it, it is not too late to see fate."

So I ate some vegetarian food with Wu Shenxian.He lifted the table and mat, wiped it clean, and placed the pen and inkstone.

The immortal said: "Please look at the noble construction first, and then look at the appearance and respect."

Ximenqing then said with the horoscope: "Those who belong to the tiger are 29 years old and born on July 28."

The god secretly pinched his fingers to find the pattern, and said for a long time: "Officials are expensive: the year of Wuyin, the month of Xinyou, the day of Renwu, and the time of Bingzi. The white dew on July 23 has been handed over to the fortune-telling in August. The month order mentions just Xinyou , Take the wounded official style. Zi Pingyun: The wounded official is exhausted and revives wealth, and the wealth is prosperous and the official fortune is transferred. Li Ming Shen Gong is the life of the city head: seven years old travel Xinyou, seventeen lines Renxu, 27 Gui Hai, 37 Jia Zi, 47 Yi Chou. Officials are expensive. According to the poor Taoist, Yuan Ming is expensive and prosperous, and the character is clear and strange. If you are not expensive, you are proud. Prosperous. Fortunately, Renwu is dry, and there is Guishui in Chou, and the combination of water and fire is a great weapon. In the time of Bingzi, Binghe Xinsheng was born, and later he will be in charge of authority. He will be prosperous in his life, happy and safe, and he will be blessed. Official, the Lord has a precious son. He is honest and upright all his life, and he does things the same. He is happy and happy, and angry is thunderous. He has a lot of money in his life, and he wears a lot of gauze hats. He has two sons to send him to the old when he is dying. Compatible. The Ding Huo under the eyes will restrain you. If you conquer me and become an official ghost, you will be able to enjoy the joy of climbing the clouds on the flat ground, and increase the glory of being an official and a rich man. The great fortune sees the movement of Guihai, and the Wutu is moistened with Guishui, and the determination will happen. Now there is a sign of the red luan's heavenly joy and the bear's scorpion. He also ordered the palace post horse to Linshen, but we will see you in July."

Ximen Qing asked, "How was my luck later on? Is there any disaster?"

The fairy said: "Don't blame me, officials, but there should not be too much yin and water in the horoscope. Later, in Jiazi luck, it is often above the yin. In the year of sixty-six, the Lord has the disaster of vomiting blood and pus, and the disease of thin bones and weak bones."

Ximen Qing asked again: "How is it now?"

The immortal said: "In the past few years, the broken five ghosts have been arguing at home for a few days. Some petty annoyances are not a disaster, but they are all washed away by the spirit of joy."

Ximen Qing asked again: "Is there still a defeat in a hit?"

The immortal said: "The year catches up with the moon, and the moon catches up with the sun. It's really difficult."

After hearing this, Ximen Qing was filled with joy, and said, "Sir, what do you think of me?"

The immortal said: "Please turn your face upright, and look at it poorly."

Ximen Qing shook his seat.

The immortal said: "The husband and wife have a heart and no appearance, and they follow each other to produce; if they have an appearance but no heart, they follow each other and die. I see officials and people with round heads and short necks. Generations; the sky is towering, and there is no loss of clothing and wealth in life; the earth is square and round, and the glory in the later years will be taken: these are a few advantages. There are also a few shortcomings, which the poor dare not say."

"It's okay to say it's immortal." Ximen Qing said.

"Please take two steps to see the officials," said the immortal.

Ximen Qing really took a few steps.

The immortal said: "If you walk like a willow, you will hurt your wife; if you have many lines on the fish's tail, you will have to work hard in the end. If you don't cry, your eyes will be full of tears, and your heart will shrink if you have no worries. If there is no punishment, you will hurt your body. Wife Only when Gong overcomes it."

Ximen Qing said: "The sentence has passed."

The immortal said: "Please take a look."

Ximen Qing relaxed his hands and came to watch with the gods.

The god looked at it and said: "Wisdom is born in the fur, and bitterness and optimism are in the hands and feet. People who are soft and plump will enjoy happiness and pleasure. The two eyes are male and female, and the master is rich and deceitful; the eyebrows are twitching, and the life is always self-sufficient and happy; If there are three lines, the middle age will inevitably dissipate more; adulterous families will be red and purple, and they will get a wife and wealth throughout their life; yellow qi will grow in high and wide, and they will definitely be promoted within ten days; Said: The hall of tears is rich, and it is also greedy for flowers; the valley road is shaggy, and it is called a prostitute. And the nose is a fortune star, and the middle-aged fortune is tested; Feng Leong, it must be the fortune star in the middle. The fortune of life depends on fate, and the mysteries of physiognomy must not be tolerated."

After the fairy met, Ximen Qing said: "Please let the fairy meet everyone in the room." On the one hand, he ordered the servant: "Go to the back and invite your aunt to come out."

When Yueniang came out, Li Jiaoer, Meng Yulou, Pan Jinlian, Li Pinger, Sun Xue'e and others all followed, listening behind the soft screen.

When the god saw Yueniang, he hurriedly said to Jishou, but he didn't dare to sit down, so he watched the face beside him, and said, "Please turn your face upright, my lady."

Yueniang turned her face to the outside of the hall.

The fairy looked at it for a while, and said: "The lady's face is like a full moon, and her family is prosperous; her lips are like red lotuses, and she has plenty of food and clothing. If the roots of the mountain are continuous, she will be rich and give birth to children; her voice will be clear, and she will gain and lose her fortune. Please help."

Yueniang showed her ten fingers from her sleeves.

The immortal said: "With the hand of dried ginger, a woman must be good at housekeeping; according to the man's temples, the Kun Dao must be delicate. These are several advantages. There are still some shortcomings, so I will talk about it directly."

Ximen Qing said from the side: "It's okay to say it, the immortal elder."

The fairy said: "The mole in the tear hall, if there is no serious illness, the husband will be punished; the wrinkles under the eyes are also related to the six relatives like ice charcoal: a woman has a good appearance, and she walks as lightly as a water turtle. Noble wife."

After the meeting, Yueniang stepped back.

Ximen Qing said again: "There are still concubines, please take a look."

So Li Jiaoer came over.

The god watched for a long time before saying: "This lady has a pointed forehead and a small nose. She is not a concubine. She will marry her husband three times. She is heavy and fat, and she has a lot of food and clothing, and enjoys glory and prosperity. She shrugs her shoulders and weeps. If she is not cheap, she will be lonely; Low, poor or dead. Please take a few steps and let me see."

Li Jiaoer took a few steps.

The fairy said:
With the tip of the forehead showing the buttocks and snaking, he must have fallen into dust in his early years.

Fake Rao is not a prostitute, but also a man standing behind the screen.

After the meeting, Jiaoer goes down.

Wu Yueniang shouted: "Sister Meng, come over and have a look."

Meng Yulou went up to the hall.

Immortals said: "This lady, three stops are equal, and there is no loss in clothing and wealth in her life; the six houses are prosperous, and the prosperity in her later years is determined. The few diseases in her life are all due to the brilliance of the moon; Please take two steps, lady."

Yulou took two steps.

The fairy said:
The mouth is like four characters, the spirit is clear, and the gentleness is like a pearl in the palm.

Fascinating and full of wealth and destiny, the master punishes the husband and the husband more than two.

After meeting in Yulou, she asked Pan Jinlian to come over.

That Jinlian just laughed and refused to come over.Yueniang urged her again and again before she came out.

The god looked up at the woman, pondered for a long time, and then said: "This lady has thick hair and heavy temples, and she looks obscenely obscene; People are short-lived, and they will eventually die. Behavior is frivolous but lustful, and eyes are like a speck of paint that destroys human relations. Before the moon and the stars, the growth is not enough, and even though you live in a building, you can't feel at ease."

After seeing Jinlian, Ximenqing called Li Ping'er to come up.

Ping'er walked forward slowly.

The god looked at this woman and said: "Slender skin, she is a daughter of a wealthy family; dignified appearance, she is a virtuous woman of the Sumen. It's just that the eyes are drunk, the appointment of the master mulberry; The period is difficult to determine. Watching the lying silkworms bright and moist and purple, they will give birth to precious children; their bodies are white and shoulders round, and they will be favored by their husbands. They often suffer from illnesses because of the dullness on the roots; There are a few advantages. There are also a few disadvantages, which the lady should avoid: the roots of the mountain are green and black, and there are crying sounds around March [-]th; Han, lifelong good friends Feng and Luan. The wealth and wealth of the rich family can be relied on, don't treat all birds the same."

After the phase, the bottle went down.

Yueniang asked Sun Xue'e to come out to have a look.

The fairy looked at it and said: "This lady has a short body, a tall voice, a pointed forehead and a small nose. Although she has moved out of the valley, she has sneered and ruthless all her life, and her work is deep and serious. It's just that she suffered from these four evils, and she will eventually die. The four evils of the husband, the lips are edgeless, the ears are round, the eyes are dull, and the nose is not straight. The body of the swallow is a bitch, and the eyes are like running water. They are not honest. They often lean against the door and stand. If you don't serve as a maidservant or concubine, you will be in trouble."

Xue'e goes down.

Yueniang asked the eldest sister to come up and have a look.

The fairy said: "This girl, with the bridge of her nose exposed, breaks the ancestor's Xing family; the sound is like a broken gong, and the family property dissipates. The skin is too fast, although the ditch is long, the life is also young; the behavior is like a jump, and the family is short of food and clothing. However, on March [-]th, you should be tortured. But the husband is rebellious and psychic, and the parents only support themselves with food and clothing. It is difficult to show off if you have a restrained appearance, and it is also difficult not to suffer evil death."

The eldest sister is finished.

Ximenqing asked Chunmei to also come up to teach the gods to look at each other.

Chunmei walked forward without saying anything.

The fairy opened her eyes and looked at Chunmei, who was about twenty-nine years old, wearing a silver silk cloud bun on her head, a white thread blouse, a pink skirt, and a blue gauze bijiaer. She came out with her hands and feet bound, and said all blessings.The immortal watched for a long time, and said: "This young lady has good features and a clear bone. She has thin hair and thick eyebrows, so she has a strong personality; her eyes are round and impatient, and she is impatient. If the roots of the mountain are continuous, she will surely have a noble husband and give birth to a son; her forehead is arched. You must wear a pearl crown. Walk like a flying fairy, and your voice is clear. If you benefit from your husband, you will get a salary, and you will be granted a gift every three or nine years. But after eating this, the left eye is big, and the father was defeated in the early years; the right eye is small, and the first year of the mother; If there is only a little mole, the Lord will often suffer from the calamity of chirping; if there is a little mole on the right cheek, he will be respected by his husband all his life. The heavenly court is upright and his facial features are flat, his words are like smears, and his steps are light. The warehouse is rich and rich, and he will always be pitied by nobles throughout his life."

After the meeting with the gods, Ximen Qing gave five taels of silver to the gods, and rewarded the person from the defense mansion with five taels of silver, and took back a thank you note.Wu Shenxian declined again and again, and said: "The poor Taoist travels around, eats and sleeps in the open, and saves all Taoists. Zhou Zongbing sent the general here, but it's a temporary love, what use is this money? I dare not accept it." Ximen Qing had no choice but to, Take out a large piece of cloth and give it to the gods to make a coat.The gods accepted it, so Xiaotong took it and put it in the sutra bag, and the head of Ji thanked him.Ximen Qing sent out the gate.The fairy floated away.

Back in the back hall, Ximen Qing asked Yueniang and the others: "How do the gods look like?"

Yueniang said: "They all get along well, but the three of them don't get along."

"Which three are not related?" Ximen Qing asked.

"Sister Xiang Li has a serious illness, and she will give birth to her precious son tomorrow. She is pregnant now, that's all. Xiang our eldest sister will be tortured tomorrow, somehow. Xiang Chunmei will give birth to a precious son in the future, maybe I'm just afraid of you If you use her, no descendants will see it. I just don’t believe that Chunmei later wore a beaded crown, and she was classified as a wife. Our family has no officials, so how can we ask for a beaded crown? There is a beaded crown, but it’s not her turn. Go up." Yue Niang said.

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "He still thinks that I have the joy of climbing the clouds on the flat ground, and the honor of being promoted and promoted. How can I get an official? He probably saw Chunmei standing with you, dressed differently, wearing The silver-threaded cloud bun is just as if you and I raised a daughter by ourselves, or later married a famous family and recruited a noble son-in-law, so it is said to be a bit of a jewel crown. It has been counted as fate since ancient times, but it is not good. Follow each other to create, follow each other Master Zhou brought it here, we don't want to slap his head, just teach him to dispel doubts." After finishing speaking, Yueniang set up food in the room.

After Ximenqing had eaten, he strolled around with a banana fan in his hand, and came to the Jujing hall in the big roll shed in the garden.The curtains have been put down around, and the surroundings are covered by flowers and trees. It was at noon, and only heard the sound of cicadas in the depths of the green shade.

Ximen Qing sat on a chair and shook it with a hand fan. When he saw Lai An'er and Hua Tong'er coming to fetch water from the well, he called out, "Come one, put ice in the basin."

Lai An'er hurriedly stepped forward and settled down.

Ximen Qing also ordered: "Go to the back and tell your sister Chunmei that there is a pot of plum soup and put it on this ice tray."

Lai Ann promised to go.

For a long time, I saw Chunmei's family often showing her head, wearing a silver silk cloud bun, a wool green cloth jacket, and a peach red summer cloth skirt, carrying a pot of fried plum soup with honey, smiling, and asked: "Have you eaten?" gone?"

Ximen Qing said: "I ate in the back room."

Chunmei said: "I don't want to come into the room." Then said: "I put this plum soup in the ice and let you eat it?"

Ximen Qing nodded.

Chunmei splashed the plum soup, came to support the chair, took the banana fan from Ximenqing's hand, and fanned it for him.Asked: "What did the auntie tell you?"

"Talk about the meeting between God and Immortal Wu," Ximen Qing said.

"The Taoist said that I wear a beaded crown for no reason. I heard it, and the aunt said: "I'm afraid it won't be her turn to have a beaded crown." As the saying goes: Mortals cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. It has never been round and cut. How can you be sure about the clothes and food that everyone wears? Could it be that I will only be a slave in your house for a long time!" Chunmei said.

Seeing her arrogant look, Ximen Qing felt itchy in his heart, and said with a smile, "Little glib, don't talk nonsense! If you have a baby tomorrow, I will take the lead for you." She hugged her and played with her hands.He asked her again: "Is your mother behind or in the house? Why don't you see her?"

"Mother was in the house, and taught Qiu Ju to take a bath in hot water. She couldn't wait, so she fell asleep on the bed."

"When I eat plum soup, I'll fool around with her."

So Chunmei got up and poured a cup of plum soup and Ximen Qing from the ice basin.Ximen Qing took a sip, feeling the coolness of the bones, piercing the heart and teeth, like nectar sprinkled on the heart.

After a while, after eating Bimei soup, Ximenqing leaned on Chunmei's shoulders, turned around the corner door, and came to the Jinlian bed room.Opening the curtain and coming in, I saw Jinlian sleeping on a newly purchased mother-of-pearl bed in front.This is when Jinlian saw that there was a mother-of-pearl factory hall bed in Ping'er's room, so she taught Ximen Qing to send 60 taels of silver, and also bought this mother-of-pearl bed with railings for her.The fans on both sides are made of mother-of-pearl, and they are placed in the bed, the towers and the halls, and the feathers of flowers and plants.The three back combs inside are the three friends of pine, bamboo, plum and Suihan.Hanging a purple gauze curtain, a brocade belt with silver hooks, hanging incense balls on both sides, a gold lotus bare body, only a red gauze tube top, covered with a red gauze quilt, and a mandarin duck stone pillow, on the mat, sleepy .There is a strange fragrance in the room.

When Ximenqing saw her, she became lustful, so she ordered Chunmei to take her out the door, quietly took off her underwear, got on the bed, and lifted the quilt.

Jin Lian opened her eyes and said with a smile: "It's the robber. I don't know when San came in. I fell asleep. I didn't know that I was sleeping sweetly. I fooled around and killed me."

Ximen Qing said: "It's just me, if a raw man comes in, you won't know it."

Jin Lian said: "I can't scold you! Who dares to come into my room? You are the only one allowed. It's all about you."

Because Jinlian heard Ximen Qing praise Li Ping'er's fairness in Fei Cui Xuan the day before yesterday, she secretly mixed the jasmine pistil with butter starch, and applied it all over her body. , to win its favor.

Sure enough, when Ximen Qing saw that Jinlian's body was white and fragrant, and she was wearing two newly made red sleeping shoes, she felt a little happier than before.

Jin Lian said: "Strange thing, why are you just looking at it? The slave's body is black, not as white as Li Ping'er's. She is pregnant with a child, so you feel sorry for her. We picked it up, let's wait and see." tease."

Ximen Qing asked, "I heard you're waiting for me to take a shower?"

"How do you know?"

Ximen Qing then told him what Chunmei had told him.

Jinlian said: "You wash it too, I'll teach Chunmei to fetch water."

After a while, Chunmei came in, put the tub in the room, and filled it with soup.The two get out of bed, share the orchid soup, and enjoy the joy of fish and water together.

Immediately adding soup and changing water, and taking a bath, Ximenqing took the opportunity to lay the golden lotus on his back on the bath board, and handed in courtship.

The two fought in the water for a while, wiped their bodies clean, removed the bathtub, put on thin and short jackets, and went to bed to put the kang table.Jinlian told Qiuju, "Bring white wine and eat it with your father." Then he put fruit pies in the box above the bed shelf and Ximenqing to eat, lest he be hungry.

It took half a day for Qiu Ju to bring a silver of Zhuzi wine.Jin Lian took it, poured it into the cup, touched the cold one, and splashed it on Qiu Ju's face, splashing it all over her face, and scolded: "Slave who is a thief and dies less! I ordered you to burn it!" Come on, how can I have cold wine to eat with your father? I don’t know what you’re up to!” She also called Chunmei: “Take this slave with me and kneel in the yard.”

Chunmei said to Qiuju, "I'm going to wrap up and bind your mother's feet. If I don't see you for a while, you'll be a mess."

Qiu Ju pouted and murmured, "Daddy and mother still drink ice-cold wine every day, but they changed their accent today."

When Jin Lian heard this, she cursed: "What are you talking about, what a thief slave? Chunmei, you dragged her away from me!" Then she said: "Come on, let me slap this slave ten times on both sides of the face."

Chunmei said: "Leatherface, I didn't smear my hand. Mom just teach her to kneel with the stone on her back." After speaking, she couldn't help but drag her into the courtyard and teach her to kneel with a big rock on her back.

Jinlian taught Chunmei to warm up the wine again, and ate a few cups with Ximenqing. Then, Chunmei went to the wine table, put down the gauze curtain, closed the door, and went out to sit on a cool chair under the verandah. shoe.In the room, Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian were exhausted, and fell asleep with their heads in their arms.

Qiu Ju knelt against the stone.The sun was poisonous, the weather was hot, and sweat oozed from his forehead and flowed down.The girl kept crying again, unable to tell the difference between sweat and tears.

Chunmei said: "Why are you always so misbehaving? Can Daddy have cold wine at this time? Aren't you going to kill Daddy? No wonder Mother gets angry and annoyed, she deserves it!"

Qiu Ju said with a mournful face: "Eating wine is terrible. Yesterday mother asked me to pour wine in ice water for my father. Why didn't I kill my father? Anyway, it's up to you whether it's good or bad, and I only have to be beaten. "

Chunmei glared at her and said, "Yesterday was yesterday, and today is today."

Qiu Ju said: "You will only gloat over others' misfortune. Mother wants you to hit me, but you can do it if you don't. If you want me to kneel down and push this big rock, you are better than mother."

Chunmei shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Otherwise, I'll make you kneel until dark."

After a long time, the little servant Qintong came to ask Ximen Qing to go ahead and make an appointment to buy Zhuangzi.Chunmei doesn't let Qin Tong disturb Ximen Qing's sleep.Ximen Qing had heard it in the room, so he hurriedly got up and went out to the front.

Jin Lian also got up, smoothed her face again, and then adjusted the cloud girl.When I came out of the courtyard, I wanted to beat Qiuju.Chunmei immediately went outside and called Qin Tong to play the board.

Jin Lian then asked Qiu Ju, "I'll teach you how to get wine. Why do you eat cold wine with your father? It turns out that your family is not big and small, and you are so stubborn when talking about you!" Fight this slave for twenty boards!"

Qin Tong just hit the ten boards, and Li Ping'er, who was dragging a heavy body, came over with a smile to persuade her, and spared her ten boards.Jinlian taught Qiu Ju and Ping'er to kowtow, let her get up, and went to the kitchen.

Ping'er told Jin Lian: "Old Feng took a 15-year-old girl, and the second elder sister bought a house to be her servant. She asked for seven taels of silver. Please go over and have a look, and she will be sent to her."

Jin Lian went to the back together with Ping'er.

After returning to the room, Jin Lian told Chunmei: "Li Jiaoer really asked your father to buy this girl with seven taels of silver, and paid back the price of five taels of silver. Change her name to Xia Hua'er, and use it in the house."
