San Xiao Marriage Episode 9

The ninth time, Lou Gongzi donated money to redeem his friend Liu Shoubei and pretended to be a boatman.

It is said that two sons were walking on the shore when they suddenly saw a man coming from the corner. They bowed their heads. The two sons quickly lifted them up and said, "Who is the first step? I don't recognize it. " "You two young masters don't recognize villains?" The humanitarian asked. The two sons said, "It just looks good. I can't remember it for a while. " The man said, "The villain is Zou San, the son of Zou Jifu. He went to the grave of Master Taibao." The two sons were frightened and said, "But why are you here?" Zou said: "Since all the young men went to Beijing, my little father looked at the grave mountain and the real prosperity. He set up several fields at the door. The old house was no longer suitable, so our family bought another house, moved to the East Village and gave it to my little brother. Later, the younger brothers got married again, and only the eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law lived in the house in East Village. The youngest has a sister who got married in a new town. When my brother-in-law is gone, my sister will come here with my little father and mother, and the little one will follow. " "I see," said the two sons. My grave mountain, no one practices? Zou: "Who dares to do this? The lords of the county will also come in and kowtow. As long as they pass by, no one will touch a grass. Two sons asked, "Where are your parents now?" Zou said to him, "I live at my sister's house, just at the end of the city, not far away." . Little Lao Tzu often misses the kindness of the second young master and can't meet him. The third son said to the fourth son, "Zou Jifu is an old man and we miss him very much. Since it's not far from here, why not go to his house? " Four childe said, "this is the best. With that, he dragged Zou San ashore and told people to pass the boatman. "。 Zou San led the way and walked all the way to the market. I saw seven or eight huts, two shutters, half open and half closed. Zou San went over and called, "Grandpa, the third young master and the fourth young master are here." Zou Jifu replied, "Which one? "Come out on crutches. Seeing two sons, I feel happy from the sky; Let the second son come into the house, and if he loses his crutch, he will fall down and worship.

(This, that, that, this is nothing more than borrowing Zou San to introduce Zou Jifu. The old servant's son can chat with his two sons, which shows that the two sons take care of each other very carefully on weekdays and the relationship between master and servant is quite easy-going. "Seven or eight small houses, two shutters, half open and half closed", the cottage is wild and interesting, and it is also a luxurious leisure village as wonderful as Chishou. )

The two sons quickly supported and said, "Why don't you do this?" Two childe took him to sit down together. Zou San held out the tea, and Zou Jifu personally took it and gave it to his two grandchildren. The third son said, "When we came home from Beijing, we went to Xiantaibao's grave to meet your old man. However, because I went around Jiaxing to see Uncle Mi, I accidentally took this road and didn't want to bump into your son, saying that your old man was here and could meet him. Ten years have passed, and your old man is getting healthier and healthier. I just heard that both your sons have married daughters-in-law. How many grandchildren do you have? Is your wife here? " Say that finish, white-haired old woman Qi Mei came out and said hello to her two sons. Two childe also received the gift. Zou Jifu said, "Go and ask the girl to fix the meal and leave the two young masters to sit down." My mother-in-law went in. Zou Jifu said: "My husband and wife are grateful to the host for their kindness, and they can't forget it for a while. I am an old woman, who lights a stick of incense under the eaves of this house every day to ensure that young gentlemen are still in the official residence. Now the young master also wants to be a big sedan chair? " Fourth Childe said, "Our brothers are not at home. What's good for your dad? It makes us feel uneasy to say such things. " The third son said, "Besides, your old man has been guarding the tomb hill for many years, and we don't know enough. How can this be said? " Zou Jifu said, "Uncle Mi has retired to another country, but unfortunately the young master is dead! Little childe wants to grow up? " The third son said, "He is seventeen years old, but he is still smart by nature." Zou Sanduan served rice, chicken, fish, meat and duck neatly, and several dishes were placed on the table, and two grandchildren were invited to sit down. Zou Jifu dared not accompany him, and his two sons repeatedly pulled him to sit together. When he poured wine, Zou Jifu said, "I'm afraid young gentlemen can't get used to drinking water and wine in the country." Fourth Childe said, "This wine still has some status." Zou Jifu said, "Stop it! Now human feelings are thin, and the wine juice made of this rice is also thin! I still hear my dead father say, "Everything is fine living in master Wu Hong; Two buckets of rice make wine, and 20 Jin of wine girls are enough. Later, Emperor Yongle took over the country. Somehow, everything has changed. Two measures of rice can only produce fifteen or sixteen Jin of wine. "Like me, this wine is held underwater, otherwise it is so light and tasteless." The third son said, "We don't drink much, but this wine is very good." Zou Jifu ate his wine and said, "To tell you the truth, I am old and useless. How pitiful it is to let their children live for a few more years! " Four childe listened, looked at three childe smiled.

At first, I "pulled him to sit with me", and later I "pulled him to sit with me" for dinner. It is difficult to see such a scene in other places. Lou Gongzi, true Gongzi, main hall grandson, Tong Zhengzi, rich and powerful, but treated Zou Jifu with courtesy. This ceremony is by no means a hypocritical ceremony for literati. Only by being sincere and accommodating can we do it. It is purely accidental that the two sons came here to see Zou Jifu. The third son said, "As soon as I get home, I will go to the First Pacific Insurance Company to visit your old man.". Now that I have come back from Beijing, I must worship my ancestors. Zou Jifu keeps the tomb, and when I was there, the meeting was also planned. Zou Jifu drank some wine and complained that the world had gone bad. The two sons were cynical and full of grievances, so they found bosom friends here. )

Zou Jifu added: "I heard people say,' The world of this dynasty is no less than Confucius' Zhou Dynasty, and it was because of Emperor Yongle that it died." Is this happening? "Three childe laughed:" you are an honest man in the countryside, where did you learn these words? Who told you that? " Zou Qifu said, "I really don't know these words; Because there is a salt shop in my town, a manager of the salt shop often comes to our rice field or sits under a Liu Yin tree to say these words, so I often hear him. " "What's this gentleman's surname?" The two sons asked in surprise. Zou Jifu said, "Although my surname is Yang, I am loyal and straightforward. This is a good-looking book. There's a roll hidden in the cuff if you want. Sit down and take it out. As usual, he is here, and he will be fine after dinner. It is better to go out for a walk. I want to meet this gentleman now, but I can't get it! " "Where did this gentleman go?" The son asked. Zou Jifu said, "Stop it! Although Mr. Yang was born in business, he refused to take care of all the accounts. In addition to wandering around, when I was in the store, I just hung my eyes and read. With this guy Hu San. So everyone in the shop called him "Old A Dai". The year before, the owner entrusted him to be the manager because of his integrity; Later, when he heard these stupid things, Dongben went to the store alone to put the bills together, but he lost more than 700 yuan. Q: Nowhere to open; Also in front of the master, talking like a book, pointing fingers. The host was very angry, and a letter was sent to Deqing County. When the princess saw that it was a matter of salt affairs, she flattered herself and took the gentleman to the prison to sit down, chasing after him. Now I will stay in prison for a year and a half. " The third son asked, "can his family have any property compensation?" Jifu said, "It's good to have it. His family lives four miles away from the entrance to the village. Both sons are stupid. They don't do business, they don't study, but they rely on old officials to support them. What compensation will they make? "

(Zou San leads Zou Jifu, and Zou Jifu leads Yang Zhizhong. Just because the words are right, the two sons admire them out of thin air. According to Zou Jifu, this man always holds books, which makes the shop lose money and the children neglect education. He said that "Old A Dai" was not bad before, and most of those who liked to hold books for people to read were dull and kept trying. Second childe don't think so, Yang Zhizhong's aura has been shrouded in dazzling aura. )

The Fourth Childe said to the Third Childe, "It's enough to make people angry that there is such a scholar in the hinterland, but he is so abused by the money slaves!" Can we discuss a reason to save this person? " The third son said, "He is only in debt and doesn't break the law; If you like, go to the city to find out the details and find out these debts for him. What's so hard about this! " Fourth Childe said, "This is the most reasonable. I'll do it when I get home tomorrow. " Zou Jifu said, "Amitabha! The two young masters are willing to do good deeds. Looking back, I don't know how many people I helped. If Mr. Yang is rescued now, no one in this town will be impressed. " The third son said, "Gifford, don't say this when you are in town until we get to the camera." Fourth Childe said, "Exactly; Unknown things can't be done or done, and it's boring to say it. " So I didn't need wine, so I took some food and hurried back to the boat. Zou Jifu, who was on crutches, sent it to the boat and said, "Young gentlemen, congratulations on your return to your home. I'll wait for you in the city later. " Zou San was also asked to take a bottle of wine and some side dishes to the boat and have supper with the two young masters. Watching the ship set sail, I went back.

(The two sons are furious and determined to hand over this unmasked scholar. )

Two childe home, tidy up some housework, entertainment for a few days, by the way, give a call to a handle affairs family knight, told him to go to the county, check the imprison this man's name, what silver red, * * * how much, I am famous but not famous, all understand. Jin Jue was ordered to come to the county government. Hufang Bookstore was originally the brother of Jin Jue Bai Meng. When he came to investigate, he quickly found out the case, copied it on paper, gave it to him, and took it back to reply to his two sons. I saw it read: "The salt shop in Gongyuqi, Xincheng is the first: the businessman Yang Zhizhong (that is, Yang Yun) has not kept his post for many years. It costs more than 700 taels for whoring, gambling, food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is a mistake in Chinese studies. However, Zha himself was born and paid tribute, so it was inconvenient to chase him. Close the details and be rigorous; Today, I will send this prisoner to prison and ban him, waiting for constitutional instructions, and then I will limit this situation. "

According to the official document, Yang Zhizhong lost 720 yuan in the store because he didn't keep his duty, whored and gambled, ate and drank. Ask to get rid of the reputation, and then investigate the responsibility severely. )

Fourth Childe said, "This is ridiculous. I was born with a tribute, and I am also a figure in clothes. Now I'm just infringing on the salt merchant's money, so I'm going to beat him up. What's the point! " The third son asked, "Did you make it clear that he has no other feelings?" Jin Jue said, "I have made it very clear that there is no other feeling. "In that case," said the Third Childe, "go and exchange the money that Huang Jia's great man redeemed the field the day before yesterday for 752 taels and go to the treasury for him. "。 Write us another business card and tell Deqing County,' This Yang is a gentleman's lover' and ask him to get out of prison. You add a guarantee to your name. You do it as soon as possible. Fourth Childe said, "Jin Jue, just do it. Don't neglect it." . You don't have to say anything to Yang when he comes out of prison. He will meet me naturally. "Jin Jue promised to go. Jin Jue took only twenty taels of silver to the bookstore and gave it to the bookstore and said, "I'll discuss an idea with you about Yang. "The book says," Since there is a post in the old man's mansion, why is it so difficult? " Immediately, he sent another special post, saying, "This Yang is from Loufu. Two masters posted, and the Loufu family was guaranteed. Besides, Lou Fu said: This money is not stolen or spent. Why should I go to jail? I ask your honor to make a ruling on this matter. If it's not money, why go to jail? I ask your honor to rule on this matter. "

(LouGongZi also recognize "abuse", not money, not the money of the state treasury, just abuse salt merchants, needless to say, to pay seven hundred and fifty-two pieces of silver, plus the Lou family as a guarantee, let Jin Jue get people out. Jin Jue only brought two hundred taels of silver, wrote a post in Lou's tone and gave it to the magistrate of a county. )

Hearing Loufu's words, the magistrate of a county panicked, but he couldn't return to the salt merchant. It was introduced to the bookstore for detailed discussion, so I had to gather together a few pieces of salt money to fill this; Approved the oath of knighthood, immediately released Yang from prison, and released him mercilessly. Jin Jue accepted the more than seven hundred taels of silver, and Jin Jue replied to them one by one if they were released. Knowing that he was released from prison, the son naturally came to thank him. That know Yang Zhizhong don't know what is the reason; Before the county asked people, saying that he was guaranteed to go by the promotion. He thought to himself that he had never known this gold in his life. Doubt, leave him alone, end up clean and go to the countryside to study as usual. When I got home, my wife followed, and happiness fell from the sky. Two silly sons gamble in the town every day and don't go home at midnight. Only an old woman, stupid and deaf, was cooking at home and waiting for the door. The next day, Yang Zhizhong walked around a familiar place in the town. Zou Jifu settled in Dongzhuang because his second son raised a grandson and never met him. So Lou Gongzi never dreamed that he would know this kind of righteous act.

(The magistrate of a county was afraid that the general trend of Louguguan was greater than several hundred taels of silver, so he tried to raise money to explain it to the salt merchants himself, and people let him go. Magistrate scared to death, Jin Jue greedy 720 yuan. Yang Zhizhong thought that there was a pie in the sky, and only Lou Gongzi gave money to save the scholar, which was a great relief. )

After more than a month, my brother was at home, and Lou Gongzi was surprised. When I think of Master Yue's story, I feel that Yang Zhizhong's thought is a noble knowledge and even more respectable. One day, the third son said to the fourth son, "Yang Zhizhong hasn't come to thank you yet. This person has a different personality. " "Theoretically," said the Fourth Childe, "since my brother admires him, we should meet at his house first and make an appointment. Isn't it vulgar to expect him to thank you? " The third son said, "I think so, too. But didn't you smell the sentence' Childe is kind to people, I hope Childe will forget'? If we go to his house first, doesn't it seem necessary to make it clear? " Fourth Childe said, "Don't mention it when you meet. It is also common for friends to visit each other when they hear about lovesickness. Is it because of these reasons that they are isolated and incompatible? " The third son said, "That makes sense." Now that the discussion is settled, he added, "We must get on the boat for one day first and arrive at his house early the next day, so that we can talk all day."

(Because Yang Zhizhong didn't come to thank him, the two sons felt that he had an unusual personality and admired him even more. It's really painstaking to discuss whether to visit first and get on the boat one day in advance before we can talk all day. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wang Yanzi of Qi Xiang saved Master Yue. Master Yue not only failed to thank him, but also accused Yan Zi of improper behavior, which made Yan Zi respect him more. )

So I called a boat, disembarked in the afternoon, and walked dozens of miles without entourage. It was late autumn and early winter, with short days and long nights, and some hazy moonlight on the river. The boat paddled along in the moonlight. All the rice boats in the river are crowded, but this boat is very small and can only pass by. Look at the weather, the second son is going to sleep next time, when he hears a sound, the river is ringing, the ship has no lights and the door is closed. Four childe in the cracks, saw a big ship upstream, brightly lit two pairs of big high lights; The words on a pair of lights are "auspicious symbols" and a pair are "the lobby of the General Political Department"; On the boat stood several servants, peak sexually, with whips in their hands, beating the boat full of river water. Four childe got a fright, low call "three elder brother, you come and see. This is that? " The third son came to see: "This servant is not my family!" " "Say that finish, the boat has arrived and beat the boatman of the boat with a whip. The boatman said, "This river road is good. Leave when it's time to go. What is the attack? Humanity on board: "Dog's minions! Open the donkey's eyes and look at the words on the lantern! That ship is that ship! The boatman said, "You have a prime minister hanging on your lamp." I know you are the prime minister! Those humanitarians: "Blind death row! Huzhou has a second prime minister besides Loufu! " The boatman said, "Loufu! -That's all. who is it? "We are the landlord's boat for renting rice." Everybody knows that! The dog will talk back again and tie him to the bow with a rope. Tomorrow, he will report to the Third Master, take a post in the county, and only speak after playing dozens of boards! "The boatman said," The landlord is on my boat now, and another landlord has come out from you? "

In order to show the sincerity of worship and avoid the feeling of abusing power for personal gain to force the gentleman, Lou Gongzi boarded the ship one day in advance, deliberately called a small boat without followers, but met a passerby who told him what to do in his own name. If you don't take a boat by night, you're afraid it's hard to bump into you. )

Two childe listen did Sarah laugh. The boatman opened the deck and let the third master come out to recognize them. Three childe walking on the bow, at this time, the moon has not yet set, reflecting the lights over there, as bright. The third son asked, "Is that my family in that room?" But those people know the third son, and they all panic. They knelt down and said, "The master of the young man is not the master's house, but the master of the young man, Master Liu, who used to be a housekeeper. Because I was afraid of being crowded in the river, I borrowed the official title of my master's family, but I didn't want to collide with my third master's boat. Damn the little ones! " The third son said, "Although your master is not from my family, he is also from the village. Why not borrow an official lamp? But you hit people in the river, but you can't. You say this is my home, so why don't you ruin my reputation? As you know, no one in my family has ever dared to do such a thing. When you get up, go back to see your master, not to mention meeting me in the river. Just don't do it next time. Do I still care about you? " They obeyed, thanked the Third Master for his kindness, kowtowed, hurriedly blew out two high lights, and slid the boat to the river to rest. The third son walked into the hut and smiled with the fourth son. Fourth Childe said, "Boatman, after all, you shouldn't say that my third master is on board. Please show him. What do you mean by letting them sweep this big scene? " The boatman said, "don't tell me, he's going through my planking!" Very fierce! It took me a while to show my true colors! " Say and two childe take off your coat to go to bed.

(True Lou steps forward, but False Lou panics. True Lou doesn't mind playing his own banner, but only teaches him not to attack others. The second son is so generous. Today, the true god is here, and the bully picks up his tail. What will happen tomorrow? )

The boat rowed all night and arrived in the new town in the morning. The two sons carried water to wash their faces, ate some refreshments and said to the boatman, "Take a good look at the boat and wait here." They went ashore and came to Zou Jifu's daughter's house in Chengtou, where the door was closed. I knocked at the door and asked, only to know that Lao Zou and his wife had received Dongzhuang. The daughter left two grandfathers to drink tea and never sat down. When they left the town and walked along the road for more than four miles, they met a woodcutter who collected firewood and asked him, "There is an old master Yang Zhizhong living here?" The woodcutter pointed: "From a distance, there is a piece of red, which is behind his house. You can cross this road. " The two sons thanked the woodcutter and found their way among the hazelnuts. They came to a village with only four or five families and a few huts. There are two big maple trees behind the house. After first frost, the maple leaves are red. I know this is the back of Yang's family. Another way, turn to the front door. There is a ravine in front of the door with a Koitabashi on it. When the two sons crossed the bridge, they saw the two wooden doors of the Yang family closed. The dog barked at the sight of someone walking. Third son knocked at the door. After knocking for a long time, an old woman came out, dressed in rags Two sons approached and asked, "Are you the home of Master Yang Zhizhong?" After asking twice, I nodded and said, "Yes, where are you from?" "My brother Lou lives in the city," said the two sons. I'm here to visit Master Yang Zhizhong. "The old lady didn't understand and said," is it liu? "Lou," said the two sons. Just tell the master that it belongs to the Lu family. " The old woman said, "The master is not at home. I went out to see them fishing yesterday and didn't come back. If you have anything to say, come back another day. " After all, I don't know whether to go in for tea or close the door and go back. The two sons were very disappointed. They stood for a while and had to cross the bridge and go back to the boat along the original road to go to town.

After the woodcutter pointed out, there are several huts, two red maple trees, crossing ravines, crossing slab bridges, barking dogs, knocking at doors, good scenery, good mood, and a good picture of a virtuous man seeking immortality. Open the door, but the old woman is chilling. Two childe left a note, for the absence of melancholy, Liu Xuande also has. What did Yang Zhizhong do? Watch people go fishing. )

Yang Zhizhong, an old fool, didn't go home until evening. The old woman told him, "In the morning, two people named Liu came to see my father and said that he lived in a certain academy." Yang Zhizhong said, "How do you answer him?" The old woman said, "I said my father was not at home. Tell him to come another day. " Yang Zhizhong thought, "Who is Liu? ..... "It suddenly occurred to me that the salt merchant had sued him and filed a lawsuit. The original surname of the county is Liu, and it must be this policeman who wants to change. Because she scolded the old woman, she said, "You old fool! If such a person comes to me, you can only tell me that I am not at home and ask him to come another day. Why, you are so useless! " The old woman refused to accept it again and replied to him. Yang Zhizhong was annoyed and hit the old woman in the mouth and kicked a few feet. Since then, I'm afraid I'll send someone to look for him again. I'll wander outside from the early hours of the morning and come home at night.

(The old woman mistook Lou for Liu and "college student" for Academy II. Yang Zhizhong thought that salt merchants would come to trouble again, leaving early and returning late. Just because the old woman said "come back another day", she scolded the old deathlessly, the old fool, and punched and kicked. She turned out to be a hooligan! )

Don't want to loufu second childe uneasy, after four or five days, also called the boatman into the city, still step to the door and knocked at the door. The old woman opened the door and saw the two men again. She was so angry that she said, "Dad is not at home! Come and find out! " The two sons said, "Did you say the day before yesterday that we were great scholars Lou Fu?" "What are you talking about?" The old woman said. Give me a punch and kick, both of you! What are you doing today! Dad is not at home! Don't go home for several days! I don't have time! It's time to cook! "Say, not two people asked again, shut the door, went in and never knocked at the door. I don't know why, the two sons are annoyed and funny. They stood for a while, thinking that no one would call them, so they had to go back to the boat.

(Lou Gongzi visited for the second time, and the old lady vented a lot of troubles, which made the second Gongzi "both annoying and funny". I'm afraid readers have the same mentality. )

The boatman waded for miles. I saw a diamond boat with a child rocking it. The child put his hand on the window of the boat and said, "Buy Lingna! Buy Lingna! " The boatman tied the rope to the boat and weighed the horseshoe. Two sons crouched in the window of the boat and asked the child, "Which village do you live in?" The child said, "I am in this new town." Fourth Childe said, "You have an old man named Yang Zhizhong here. Do you know him? " The child said, "Why don't you recognize him? The old gentleman is a pleasant man. The day before yesterday, I went to Qiancun by boat to see a play, and I left a paper roll in my sleeve with some words written on it. " The third son asked, "Where is it?" The child asked, "Under the cabin, isn't it?" The third son said, "Bring it here and let us have a look." The child took it and handed it to him, took the money from the boatman to buy Ling and shook it away. The two sons opened it and found it was a blank piece of paper with a seven-character quatrain written on it: "I dare not do anything just because I have read the running script;" First frost and the scorching sun have passed, and the next spring breeze has come to Caolu. " On the back line, it says "it's clumsy, Yang is". After reading it, the two sons could not help sighing: "This gentleman is thin-minded, but actually respectable! It's just that how can it be so difficult between you and me? ……"

(Seeing the loneliness, I inserted a child selling spirits and left a doggerel for the childe to miss. Zou Jifu called Yang Zhizhong "honest honest and frank", and the children also called him "amiable". Compared with the cruelty to the old woman behind closed doors, he is obviously a hypocritical hypocrite. )

Although the frost and maple are bleak and tense, the weather in Mystery is happy. Four childe saw mountains and rivers on the bow, looked around and saw a big ship behind him, coming rapidly. A man at the bow shouted, "Landlord, please bring the boat over. My master is here. " The boatman is busy collecting the boat. The man jumped off the boat and kowtowed. He looked at the hut and said, "So the third master is here." Because of this boat, there are different schools: young celebrities, rich and powerful people get married; Confucian scholars are in Xiangfu, and resorts recruit Jie Jun.
