The book is picked up again.
The poem says: Juanjuan Youye Tong, end the enchantment. Singing and leaning on the kite, dancing charmingly.
The nobles were bewitched, and the flying horses rushed to chase after them. Grace invites grace, and all kinds of things are given.
Ximen Qing came to the yamen early, and first went to the retreat hall and said to Xia Tixing: "Che Dan and the four of them have asked for favors many times to intercede, so let them go." ”
Xia Tixing said: "Someone came to me, it's not good to tell the chief. Since that's the case, then bring it up, give them a warning, and let them go. ”
Ximenqing said: "The chief is reasonable. ”
So he went up to the hall and asked the left and right handlers to kneel down and wait for the prisoners. They were afraid of being beaten again, and they just kept kowtowing. Ximen Qing didn't wait for Xia Tixing to speak, and said, "You scoundrels, why are you looking for so many favors to beg me!."It should have been sent for interrogation, but I will let you go for the time being, and if you commit another offense in my hands, you will all be put in prison alive and put to death. You can leave!”
Even Han Er was scolded and left homeless. The handling of these official matters will not be mentioned for the time being.
At this time, Earl Ying took five taels of silver, found the scholar and inquired, and gave him the silver privately. The boy put it away and put it in his sleeve. And Ping An Er was secretly observing him at the door. So the scholar said: "I said it for my father yesterday, and today it has been dealt with." ”
The Count said: "His four brothers have been repeatedly worried that he will be punished. ”
The scholar said, "Don't worry, the master will definitely not beat him." ”
The Count got the news and hurried to reply to them. When it was time for breakfast, the four families returned home and wept loudly. Everyone paid a hundred and ten taels of silver, and they also suffered from ulcers in both legs, and they didn't dare to mess around anymore. As the saying goes: Disasters usually come from reluctance, and troubles come because they can't bear to let go.
Speaking of Ximenqing, when he went home that day, the scholar was in the study, called An'er to clean the ground, and took out the candy given by others in the lunch box for him to eat. The servant did everything possible to call out at an inopportune time: "Brother scholar, I have something to tell you. Yesterday, when our brother Ping'an picked up Wu Niang's sedan chair on the road, he said bad things about her like a dog. ”
The boy asked, "What did he say about me?"”
Lai An'er said: "He said that you took a few taels of silver from others to your father, boldly bought wine and meat, sent it to Liuniang's room, and came out after eating all morning." Then I ate it in the shop in front of me, and I didn't eat with him. And said that you were doing something with your father in the study. ”
When the scholar heard this, he secretly remembered it in his heart, but he didn't mention it. On the second day, Ximen Qing made an appointment early in the morning, and did not go to the yamen, but went to the Yongfu Temple outside the door to set up a banquet to see him off. He did not return home until the afternoon, and after dismounting, he commanded peace: "If anyone comes, say that I have not returned." ”
After speaking, he entered the hall, and the scholar took his clothes. Ximenqing asked, "Has anyone been here today?"”
The boy said, "No." Master Xu of Guantun sent two bags of crabs and ten catties of fresh fish. I took the reply and sent it away, and gave the sender a penny. and Uncle Wu sent six invitations, and invited the ladies to eat for three days tomorrow. ”
It turned out that Wu's uncle Wu Sunchen married Qiao Dahu's niece Zheng Sanjie as his daughter-in-law, and Ximenqing sent tea to him, so he came to invite.
Ximenqing walked to the back, Yueniang showed him the invitation, and Ximenqing said, "Tomorrow you are all ready to go." ”
After that, he came out and sat in the study. The scholar immediately brought the sweet cake from the stove and handed the tea with both hands. Ximenqing picked up the teacup and slowly approached the scholar to stand at the table. After a while, Ximenqing grinned and asked him to close the door, then put his arm around him and held his face with the other. Ximenqing stuck out his tongue, and the servant bit the Fengxiang cake and handed it to him, and at the same time teased his *** Ximenqing asked, "My child, has anyone bullied you?".”
The servant took the opportunity to say, "I have one thing that I would not dare to say if my father had not asked about it." ”
Ximenqing said: "You can say. ”
The scholar told him everything about peace: "A few days ago, my father asked me to be in the room, and he and the painting boy were eavesdropping outside the window. He was still outside scolding me for being a slave and bullying me in all sorts of ways. ”
After hearing this, Ximenqing was furious in his heart and said, "If I don't break this minion's leg, I'm not a man!."”
That was the end of the conversation in the study.
Ping An'er intently inquired about this matter and didn't know the situation, so she went to tell Jin Lian. Jin Lian asked Chunmei to go and ask Ximenqing to speak. As soon as I walked to the corner of the screen wall, I saw the painting boy playing with a slingshot there, so I asked, "What is my sister doing?"Daddy is in the study. ”
At this time, Chunmei hit the pine door panel headlong. When Ximenqing heard the sound of the skirt in the house, he knew that someone was coming, so he hurriedly pushed the little servant away, walked to the bed and pretended to be asleep. The scholar was writing at the desk, Chunmei pushed open the door and came in, saw Ximenqing, and said disdainfully: "You guys are secretly in the house, close the door, oh my God! Mother, please speak. ”
Ximen Qing lay on his back on the pillow and said, "Little oil mouth, what did she say to me?" You can say it first, and I'll go when I get a little rest. ”
Chunmei won't let him succeed, and said, "If you don't go, I'll pull you up!" ”
How could Ximenqing stop her, she dragged him to Jin Lian's room alive. Jin Lian asked, "What is he doing in front?" ”
Chunmei said: "He and the servant were in the study, closing the door, as if they were doing some secret thing, and they really guarded the door tightly. When I went in, the little servant was writing in front of the table, and he pretended to lie on the bed, pulling and refusing to get up. ”
Pan Jinlian said: "When he entered my house, he was afraid that he would be discovered by me. Is this shameless thing, you see, a bit of a shame? What do you do with that servant behind closed doors during the day? It doesn't matter if it's a servant or some other stinky ass, they still come into the house at night and sleep with us, how dirty! ”
Ximenqing said: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the little flamboyant, how can I have such a thing!" I watched him write invitations, and I was just crooked on the bed. ”
Jin Lian said: "Close the door and write an invitation? What secret, to hide from anyone to see? Tomorrow Wu Yanzi's family will have a birthday, take a post and come over, not too long and not too short, and find something to make a gift. If you don't give it, don't you want me to ask someone else for it? Everyone else has jewelry and flower ornaments, but I don't have them, so I won't go! ”
Ximenqing said: "Take out a red yarn from the cabinet in front and make it a gift for you." ”
Jin Lian said: "I just don't go, and I don't want that kind of cheap thing, others laugh at us!" ”
Ximenqing said: "Don't talk nonsense, just wait for me to go upstairs and find something for her." Now I want to give a congratulatory gift, and I also need a few pieces of cloth, just find it. ”
So I walked upstairs to Li Bei'er and found two black unicorn lace woven gold cloth, two pieces of Nanjing-colored satin, a big red bullfighting silk, and an emerald blue cloud satin. Then he said to Li Bei'er: "I also want to find a cloud silk shirt to make a gift for Jin Lian, if not, use the post to find it." ”
Li Bei'er said: "Don't go to the shop to look for it, I have a woven gold cloud silk dress there!" A red shirt and a blue dress, leave a set for her, it's good, let's both make gifts. ”
She took the clothes out of the box and showed them to Jin Lian: "Sister, pick out, clothes and skirts, the two of us will complete this together, and we won't have to find something else." ”
Jin Lian said: "This is your thing, how can you ask for it?" ”
Li Bei'er said: "Sister, why do you talk like that! ”
Pushing back and forth, Jin Lian finally agreed. Then go out and ask Chen Jingji to change his belt, and write the names of the two people on it, and leave nothing else to mention.
At this moment, Ping An Er was at the door, only to see Bai Zhiguang come over and ask, "Is the official at home?" ”
Ping An said, "Our father is not at home. ”
Bai Yiguang didn't believe it, so he walked directly into the hall, saw the door closed, and said, "Sure enough, I'm not at home." Did he go? ”
Ping An said: "He went out to say goodbye today and hasn't come back yet." ”
Bai Zhiguang said: "Since it is a farewell, it is time to come back now." ”
Ping'an said: "Uncle Bai has something to say, stay and wait for my father to come back, and as soon as I arrive, I will tell him." ”
Bai Yiguang said: "It's nothing important, I just haven't seen him for a long time, so I came to take a look." Since I'm not here, I'll go back later. ”
