A New Edition of the Novel Embroidered Screen

Preface

"Xiu Ping Yuan" has 20 chapters and was published in the early Qing Dynasty. The main text is titled "Newly Engraved and Transferred Annotated Novel Xiu Ping Yuan" and "Edited by Master Su'an". It starts with a preface and ends with "Written by Master Nongxiang in Ji Yan Tang of Cong Fang Xiao Pu on the Duanyue Day of the Gengxu Year of the Kangxi Period (1670)". After that, there are seven general rules, signed "Su'an's Random Notes"; after that, there are "Su'an's Miscellaneous Poems" and "Lü Qu from the South of Jiuyi Mountain". There are commentaries on the chapters, and the book has twenty chapters. There are actually only eight poems in the 19th chapter, and a handwritten copy exists, which is treasured in the Netherlands Chinese Academy.

"Embroidered Screen" is a novel with a strong story but extremely mediocre and vulgar. The book tells a tortuous story:

One day, Yunke wanted to go to the West Lake for a trip, firstly to make friends, and secondly to find a lover. He went to the lake with his two scholar friends, and composed poems and lyrics, feeling very proud. There was a large boat moored by the shore. It was carrying a country gentleman named Wang. His daughter, Yuhuan, was beautiful and of good character. When Yunke saw this, he was so confused that he couldn't sleep all night. The next day, he sent his family back and secretly followed the king's boat to Yangzhou. Yunke wanted to pretend to be a servant and join the Wang family. The Wang family was busy, so he had to stay the night in a restaurant. The old man selling wine is called Sun Aiquan, his son is a servant and is nicknamed Sun Feihu, and his daughter Sun Huiniang is charming and extraordinary. Yunke wanted to get close to her and often gave gifts to the two elders. Huiniang also fell in love with Yunke.

The official was very worried when he saw that his son had not returned for many days. He found the two scholars who were in the brothel and saw bloodstains (left by the prostitutes) on the bedding that his son had asked them to look after. He suspected that his son had been murdered and reported it to the prefect. The prefect put the two scholars in jail. When Yunke left, he did not say goodbye to them, so they were speechless.

Yunke told Huiniang that he had fallen in love with Miss Wang. Huiniang said, "Now that I have met you, I will be with you for the rest of my life, regardless of whether you marry me or not." So the two of them made a vow to each other and began to have a secret relationship.

Yunke was asked to look after the garden at Wang's house. The Wang family had very strict rules, and it was difficult for Yunke to get to the young ladies' place. When the sun was dim and the moon was dim, Yunke suddenly saw a young lady and a maid coming to the foot of the Peony Terrace. He went up to ask them and found out that they were from the same yamen and came to make a private appointment with Yunke. Yunke invited the young lady into the room and hugged her and made love with her. The young lady wore a gemstone which emitted a strange light, and the two of them became fascinated with it. Come every night from now on.

Yuhuan asked Jiangying to give some money to Yunke for travel expenses. Jiangying also had feelings for Yunke, so she wrote a private letter and asked Yunke to meet her on the boat. Yunke thought it was Yuhuan who asked him out, but when he saw it was Jiangying, he also wanted to enjoy the treat, so he shared a pillow with her on the boat. The next morning, the ship collided with another ship, and the people on that ship rushed over. It turned out to be Jiangying's brother Wu Da, who thought the robbers were stealing his sister. Jiangying said it was her own will, and Wu Da thought she was eloping, and became even more furious. Seeing the silver again, doubts arise again. In order to save his own dignity, he first imprisoned Yunke, and then gave the officers some money and let them starve Yunke to death.

Jiangying returned to the palace and told Yuhuan the truth. Yuhuan was worried about Yunke.

In prison, Yunke met a prison official named Qin Hengshi, who protected Yunke at home. Qin had a daughter named Su Qing, who was beautiful and passionate. When she saw Yun Ke was extraordinary, she fell in love with him and entrusted her heart to him. After Qin's intercession, Yunke was exiled to Yanshan, and the escort was Sun Feihu. When Hui Niang learned about this, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on her. She managed to go to the palace to inform him to avoid any trouble at home. Yuhuan had a very good relationship with her, and asked Huiniang to take a letter to Yunke in the name of Jiangying to comfort him.

Yunke was in Yanshan. After receiving the letter, he was moved by the feelings of the three beauties. One day, after burning incense and making wishes, he wrote a poem on the wall to express his sorrow. Just then, he met an official, who happened to be Yuhuan's father, Censor Wang. The king asked Yunke to pardon his crime and kept him in the yamen to study for the exam.

Jiangying was worried at home, and Wu Da wanted her to get married soon. She thought it was Yunke's man. On the day of her wedding, she escaped from the back door and walked straight to the river where she met Yunke, intending to commit suicide. A small official boat passed by and the people on the boat grabbed her. It turned out to be Prison Officer Qin and Su Qing. When Su Qing heard Jiangying say that Yunke was her husband, she also expressed her thoughts to her. The two of them were of one mind and had no jealousy at all.

Yunke met two friends who had become prisoners in Beijing. Censor Wang was also taken in. Prison officer Qin found Yunke and married his daughter to him. Yunke then married Jiangying and had two wives.

After the palace examination, Yunke won the top spot. Two of his friends also passed the imperial examination and told Censor Wang that Yunke could marry Wang's daughter. The daughter of the prince consort in the capital was called Ji Tiao, and she liked Yunke when she saw him. With the approval of the Ministry of Rites, Yunke married into the prince consort's family. Yunke asked his parents to ask for marriage through a matchmaker at the palace. As a result, he had five wives.

Yunke managed to arrange the seating order of the five ladies: Yuhuan, Jishao, Suqing, Jiangying, and Huiniang. He had the Five-Flower Tower built and an embroidered screen made, on which he painted the portrait of himself and his fifth wife. Yunke played chess, played music and made love with the five men, enjoying themselves to the fullest, ignoring the affairs of the court.

The fox spirit who had been in love with Yunke transformed into a scabby Taoist priest. He took Yunke on a trip to an archipelago overseas. One day, it was reported that a wealthy family had been confiscated and that the Hakka family was also included. The Taoist sailed down the islands and took Yunke and his family to the islands. The Taoist floated away.

As far as the plot is concerned, "Embroidered Screen" is commendable in that the story is cleverly arranged and the relationships between the characters are delicately designed.

The ingenuity of the story is mainly reflected in the word "qu". Winding paths leading to secluded places and exquisite details are the characteristics of Chinese art. "Embroidered Screen" puts two efforts on this point. First, the plot arrangement is unexpected. For example, Zhao Yun followed Wang's boat to Yangzhou, hoping to get close to Yuhuan by working as a servant, but failed. He then stayed at Hui Niang's place temporarily, and unexpectedly fell in love with Hui Niang. The subsequent meetings with Jiangying, acquaintance with Suqing, etc., were a bit unexpected, but also reasonable; secondly, the story is full of twists and turns. The novel pays great attention to twists and turns in the arrangement of both major and minor plots. Major plots, such as Yunke and Jiangying's experiences of being beaten, imprisoned, bailed out, sent to Beijing, taken in, passed the imperial examination, and married into the Zhao family's family after their secret meeting, and minor plots, such as the experiences of Yunke's two scholar friends and the matchmaker's two visits to the palace to help the Zhao family propose marriage, are not seen through at a glance and develop in a straight line.

The relationship between the characters is expressed in the word "fate". The novel begins with the portraits of beauties from past dynasties on the Zhao family's embroidered screen, which leads to Yunke's meeting a beauty in his dream, and then to the appearance of five beauties in reality. The relationship between these five beauties and their connection with Yunke can be said to be a kind of love, which is interconnected and connected to each other. Among them, Yunke meets a young lady in the palace at night and gets acquainted with Yuhuan during the day. The real lady, the fake lady, the true love and the illusion are combined in a hazy and vague way, which is quite artistic and charming.

Five beauties with different identities, experiences and personalities are brought together by the word "fate", show different characteristics by the word "love", and play different roles. In this sense, the comment in "Preface to Embroidered Screen" makes sense: "Yuhuan's love is upright, Ji Tiao's love is obedient, Suqing's love is chivalrous, Jiangying's love is chaste, and Huiniang's love is wise."

Yunke's words after marrying the five beauties can be seen as a summary of the content of the whole book and the principle of character arrangement: "In the past, I met in my dreams, all of them were beauties from all dynasties. I didn't expect that we would meet again today. Isn't it the fate of angels? Now my paintings have been passed down for thousands of generations, and people know that those who are both talented and beautiful will naturally fall in love; those who are in love will naturally have fate; those who are destined will naturally meet; those who meet will naturally get along."

The work implements this principle, which makes the story coherent and the plot compact, but it also produces the drawbacks of heavy traces of artificial fabrication and superficial emotions.

The traces of artificial fabrication are particularly obvious in the second half of the novel. After Yunke was brought to the capital, he burned incense and wrote an inscription on the wall, when he happened to meet an official, who happened to be Yuhuan's father, Censor Wang; Jiangying wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river, when she happened to see a boat passing by, on which happened to be the prison officer Qin and his daughter who had just saved Yunke; Yunke's two scholar friends were escorted to the capital, when they happened to meet Yunke who had just been acquitted by Censor Wang; Yunke won the top scorer in the exam... and so on. Acquaintances always meet acquaintances or related acquaintances, and talented people will always become officials. The plot is artificial and clichéd, lacking in life logic, making it unbelievable.

These are just the surface flaws of the novel, manifested in its external structure. In terms of content, the novel neglects the revelation and exploration of the characters' emotions. This book repeatedly emphasizes love, love, and love in the story itself, preface, beginning, ending, and inserted poems. But what is the actual situation and effect?

The most uncomfortable thing about "Embroidered Screen" is the affirmation and praise of feudal polygamy. Zhao Yunke was just a scholar with some talent and good looks. He did not have any outstanding qualities or personality in other aspects. When he saw a beautiful woman, he wanted to possess her. He was so infatuated and made a vow to women that he had relationships with more than five women at the same time (what the book calls love and fate). The most puzzling thing is that these more than five women all put their hearts on Yunke, and there was no jealousy, contradiction or conflict between them. They helped, supported, comforted and united with each other and loved Yunke. Yunke was able to handle the situation well and managed the relationship between them in a balanced and appropriate manner without favoring one over the other. What kind of feeling is this? It's puzzling.

Perhaps it is precisely because the novel promotes this male-centered polygamous feudal ethics that there is no information indicating that the book has ever been banned, despite its mediocre and vulgar content.

This book was banned because it had neither outstanding artistic achievements nor innovative ideas, so the work and its author Su An are unknown in the history of literature and novels. However, Wang Nongxiang, who was in the reign of Emperor Kangxi, wrote a preface for the book, saying that the author was "a man of extraordinary talent and broad knowledge, quite different from the ordinary people", and that "the emotions of ancient and modern times are gathered together in one screen, and only a talented person can be worthy of this."

Explanation

There are several embroidered pictures at the beginning of each novel to please the eyes. This is because the inner story may not be entirely good, so it is used to impress people first. However, every time a painter writes a thousand pieces, they are not worth looking at and are a waste of time. There are paintings in this collection of lyrics, but why should there be shapes in the paintings? All images of the time will not be engraved.

Whenever quoting poems or comments, they are always used to complement the main text. Most of them are shallow and mediocre, and those who are knowledgeable cannot help but feel regretful. It is better to be simple and attractive than to be complicated and useless. I have a slight advantage over all the others.

The whole book is like a drama, with a protagonist and a hero, and everything has a main character. Whenever I see the carvings of recent times, they are upside down and disordered, and it is impossible to distinguish between jade and stone. Although the words and meaning are well-crafted, they are of no use.

Every time and every thing is ultimately trivial. What's more, there are dirty talks secretly spread in the streets and alleys, which are for the ears and eyes of ordinary people. Although I am stupid and humble, I am not decadent at all.

Start by comparing what is definitely not there, and end with what is necessarily there. If you force anything, it will be considered uncivilized. Therefore, I dare not list in detail the incest, loss of chastity, the changes of ghosts and gods, and the ugly consequences. What I value are only the two words "talent" and "sensibility".

This book was originally published in the market, and contains obscene words and practices that were popular at the time. Although most of the text is free of vulgar language, it may be occasionally embellished with such language. I am afraid that Liu Yong’s hobby will not be satisfied without this, just like holding cinnabar, which will leave him with a slight regret.

The writing flows smoothly like clouds and running water, and it is a state of mind. It follows the scene at any time and is written as it pleases. Since there is no intention, how dare I interfere?

Su'an Random Thoughts

Eight Miscellaneous Poems by Su'an

Light clouds enter my dreams through the beautiful autumn window, I can’t bear to worry about the past anymore;

When the seagulls leave, the flowers’ message stops, and the palace orioles cry and the tears disappear.

The golden valley on earth changes every morning, and the Milky Way in the sky floats every night;

The blue bird has not returned and the fragrance is cold, I have gazed around the tall building several times with regret.

The stars are empty and the night sky is cold, the moon sister sends fragrance and colorful phoenixes down;

The red sleeves brush against the clouds, making her shadow look thinner; the rain falls on the green screen, making her regret the withered flowers.

The affectionate wrist keeps the fragrance in the evening, and for a moment we see the clear pair of happiness;

I didn't expect the three mountains to separate us so easily, but I still shed tears of deep hatred.

Flowers circle the fence as the moon marks the end of the night, and I still complain about the orioles when my dream ends;

It is a false rumor that I left my pillow to pity Cao Zhi, but who would pity someone as beautiful as Ma Qing?

The drizzle in spring makes the golden willows drunk, the mist in autumn makes the jade hooks love;

It is so hard to find out what it is, and I don’t know what position it ranks in Yaotai.

I know that the love between mandarin ducks has not lasted long, like the dim light of a phoenix lamp and the cool light of a mirror;

The jade-like moon scratches my head at midnight, and the golden fragrance shines on my bones for five nights.

In the dream, Tiao Rong finally cherishes his life, and the clouds in the gorge dispersed but it was not a good omen;

Now the Brahma fire doubts the Zen silence, and even the empty flowers break my heart.

I once spent the night in shock, and the dream is still there;

The tender color of lotus adds to the beauty of the flower, and the light body of willows presses down on the crimson gauze.

The shadow outside the window is cold and the autumn moon is thin, the fragrance before the lamp is emitting the morning beauty;

Only the sentimental swallows are left on the empty beams, remember peeking through the curtains and falling.

Jiuyi Mountain South Lü

The "Fragrant Silk Belt" starts from the separation of the phoenix and the phoenix, and ends with the jewelry collection.

The sorrowful phoenix buries the mirror in dust and flies away together; the quilt turns in the dream of broken clouds and mountains; it is hard to call back the warm painting; it is so true!

"Offending the Hu Soldiers" Where does the food come from? It can be stopped in the end

I ponder to myself facing the dim lamp and express my sorrow in this poem. Could it be that my marriage in the previous life has ended in this life?

"Lazy Eyebrows" Strongly facing the south, the flowing water stops at the high mountain

I sigh in vain for the separation and feel sad, thinking of the past when I was with my lover, and we shared the fragrance and bonded under the stars.

"Drunk and Helped Home" I'm afraid it's hard to change my love for you, so my heart aches first

The colorful phoenixes live together peacefully in the embroidered curtains. I can’t express my love for the flowers. There is a tenderness that cannot be described to describe the delicate fragrance of the flowers. I feel sleepy at the fifth watch.

"Putong Tree" The yellow oriole seems to call its companions to wake up, so it puts an end to people's stubborn worries

The Wushan Mountain is dim with evening rain, the Luo River is hazy with morning glow. It is not known that Nongyu is an extraordinary person who plays the flute, and she is so enchanted when they meet in the beautiful building.

Chapter 1: Baibaoping's dream of beauty and life, looking for beauty outside the stone sky

Poetry says:

Thousands of miles of red silk tied to a green ring,

The beauty lives on the highest mountain;

There is clearly a flower official.

Don’t wait for a spring love.

It has been said since ancient times that talented men are passionate and beautiful women are short-lived. This saying is both positive and negative. That talented man was a man of talent and intelligence, and he knew a lot about good things from ancient times to the present. He was definitely not a mean person who treated his relatives as strangers. This kind of affection is born with us, needless to say. As for the four words "beautiful woman with a tragic fate", these words were uttered by someone who has no idea about the world. Since ancient times, true beauties have always had a good life. Why don't you thin it out? Xi Shi was humiliated when her country was destroyed; Zhaojun was trapped in paintings; Lu Zhu lost her makeup in a high tower; Taizhen buried her ring in a deserted inn; all of this was due to their bad fate.

Since ancient times, beauties and talented men have been born after experiencing the essence of the sun and the moon, the elegance of mountains and rivers, the harmony of ghosts and gods, exotic flowers and trees, auspicious birds and clouds, and auspicious signs. Just like a treasure, the two beauties are combined. Even if you don't touch them or do anything about them, you still have to think about them with all your heart. You can die when you live, and you can be reborn when you die. Where love is planted, it is like mandarin ducks embracing each other, unable to separate. How can mandarin ducks be accustomed to fighting against males? It means that the feelings between them are inseparable, so it is compared to the relationship between husband and wife. Trees have connected branches and flowers have twin stems, which all represent this meaning. Don't misunderstand the word "personal feelings" and do many cruel things. If you don't believe it, just look at the Qingling Terrace. The souls are still there. You have only heard of the laws of revenge for adultery in the underworld, but not the laws of love in the sky. I will tell a real story and put it into words so that all sentient beings in the world will be moved. Exactly:

If I don’t go to Wushan and leave my night dream, how can I know that the goddess will turn into morning clouds?

During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, a screen was made and given to Princess Yicheng. Its name is Hongni, and it is carved in the shape of beauties from previous dynasties, each about three inches long. Among them, the clothing and playthings were all inlaid with various precious stones, with crystal as the base and tortoise shell and water rhinoceros as the outer cover. They were of various exquisite craftsmanship and could not be made by humans.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that Emperor Taizong obtained it and kept it in his inner palace. It was taken out during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong and bestowed upon Empress Dowager Dian. When Taizhen returned to her brother Yang Guozhong's home, she took this screen with her and placed it on a high building.

One day, Guo Zhong was resting upstairs. Just as he lay down on the pillow, all the girls on the screen came to the bed, introduced themselves by their names, sang and danced, and left after a while. Guozhong woke up and was afraid it was a monster, so he quickly sealed the door to the building.

After An Lushan Rebellion, the screen was kept in the home of Prime Minister Yuan Zai and has since been lost in the world.

During the Song Dynasty, he was again selected into the government and brought to Lin'an during Emperor Gaozong's migration south. During the Yuan Dynasty, the screen was collected by the Zhao clan.

During the reign of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty, there was a man named Zhao Yuanwai in Qiantang County of Hangzhou Prefecture. He was the fifth-generation descendant of Emperor Duzong of Song Dynasty. His wife gave birth to only one son, named Zhao Qingxin, also known as Yunke. He looked like Pan An and was as talented as Zijian. At the age of eighteen, he was already well-read and famous in the academy. He was a truly handsome and elegant young man, and he considered himself to be the most talented and romantic man in the world.

It was because Mr. Zhao was very wealthy and had many maids and concubines that he knew all of this. As the book "Gou Qingyuan" said well, although the penis is small, it will naturally grow bigger if it is soaked in the vaginal fluid frequently.

All the maids in the Zhao family know how to raise this thing. Seeing that guest Zhao Yun is born handsome, who wouldn't want to get close to him? So even though I am not very old, this is just one thing I am used to. However, he had lofty aspirations and a different temperament from ordinary people since childhood. He always wished to read all the best books in the world, win all the best imperial examinations, and marry all the most beautiful women in the world. However, he did not care about anything else that was second to him.

One day, he went to the official's back room to play, but he didn't pay any attention to some of the treasures. I only saw a screen. It was passed down from the previous dynasty and was the carving of beauties from past dynasties called Hongni. It was only because the official was a close relative of the royal family of the Song Dynasty that there was something strange about him.

Yun Rong thought to herself, "I have read about many beauties in ancient times in books, and they were all called peerless beauties. I longed for them all day long. I never expected that the carvings on this screen would be so exquisite. So I asked the official for this screen and put it up in my study. I put a small red sandalwood couch underneath it, and slept alone on it."

Who knew that the beauty on the screen was actually a spirit? Those collected by previous generations were only regarded as treasures, and were occasionally unfolded and put away. Only Yang Guozhong, who was sleeping upstairs, was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats, and he never approached anyone again after that.

Mr. Zhao didn't know the reason, so he let his son keep the screen with him all night. Seeing that Zhao Yunke was temporarily placed in the small study, he seemed to have been in the mood of a beautiful woman. He was very happy. He took out an ivory lantern, lit a candle that would burn all night, and used an ancient bronze incense burner to burn some high-quality incense. He did not want servants to serve him, nor did he want maids and concubines to come and go. It was because he had the temperament of a talented man, and he always had a book in his hands. He also got a treasure, the screen, and he read on one side and looked at the beauty on the screen on the other. He did not go to bed for two nights in a row. On the third night, his eyes were groggy, and even though he lit candles and burned incense, he went to bed.

When I woke up at the second watch, I found that the beauties on the screen were inspired by Yunke's spirit and seemed to be sent down from heaven. They danced with their sleeves and wanted to meet Yunke. Yunrong seemed to be in a dream, seeing all the beauties standing around the bed, like a cluster of flowers and brocade. She felt her soul drifting, thinking that she had met these fairies in a dream, and even forgot that there were these pictures on her screen. She said, "The fairies have suddenly come, could it be that I have a destiny to meet you in this library?"

The beauty calmly stated her name. Some say she came from the Guanwa Palace at the foot of Tiger Hill; some say she came on horseback holding a pipa; some say she was moved by the sound of the pipa and was selling wine by the wine shop; some say she met while picking herbs and picking peach blossoms on the mountain; some say she left a pillow in the palace and sent it to a talented man; some say she stole the fragrance from Qingjue and shared it with a young man; some say she met in a dream because of the clouds turning into rain; some say she met temporarily in the tent like fog and smoke; some say she was on the flute tower and held hands with each other; some say she served Yan Yaochi and changed her name and surname through poems; some say she lived in the Golden Valley and blew away the ruthless hatred; some say she had five plates in her palm and could not hold them. The other souls untied their jade pendants and said in unison, "We are famous beauties throughout the ages. We were carved into images by a strange man. We were inspired by your spirit and came here together."

When Yunke heard this, his mood was taken away.

The beauty continued, "In the past, Xue Zhao escaped into Lanchang Palace and met three women. At that time, he threw dice and Zhang won. So Xue Lang was ordered to sit with her and was offered a bed. We are meeting tonight, so it is not without fate."

He ordered his servants to prepare a table full of delicacies. Although Yunke said nothing, he was thinking about what he had always admired. He didn't expect to encounter such a good thing. Wasn't he happy? At that time, the beauties also rolled the dice, and one of them rolled six reds.

The beauties laughed and said, "Tonight we will meet Zhao Lang, whoever wins the betting will spend the night together."

At that moment, Zhao Yunke was in high spirits, so he took her hand and walked to a secluded place, where they undressed and undressed each other. His jade stick became swollen and hot, and after one or two strokes, his semen gushed out like a spring, making him half dead and half alive. Suddenly, he fell asleep, and the beauty disappeared.

Dear readers, although Zhao Yunke was young, he had spent some time in a female vagina. Could it be that he was half dead and half alive after just one time in a dream? I don't know that if you do things normally, even if you do it once, it may not necessarily lead to a very good result. Even if a woman is used to flattery, by raising her buttocks and squeezing her legs together and lifting them up, it is just the intention to hit the bull's eye. It only takes a little breathing to make it move, and it is not very messy. This kind of thing can only be done in dreams, without control over my heart. If I were not extremely anxious and gave it my all, how could I have lost it in the dream? Besides, the young man is full of vigor and is beginning to fall in love. If he stays alone for several nights in a row and has a good dream, why would he care about his life? So once you do it, you will ejaculate, and once you ejaculate, it will be difficult. This is also the situation of young people. Yunke just walked this far and got up when the sun was about to set. His parents just thought he was sleeping late and didn't care.

After Yunke had washed up and eaten some soup or porridge, he felt very tired. He returned to the study and took a close look at the screen. It was exactly what he saw in his dream. Although it is very strange, I am not afraid. Why do you think he is not afraid? It turned out that Yunke was a talented and romantic man. When he saw that beautiful woman, he could not help but feel some emotions. However, he was used to thinking about it in his heart. Even if it was strange and bizarre, he just treated it as a daily routine. Why should he be afraid? But feeling sleepy was not a good thing, so he closed the study.

But the ladies on the screen were actually supernatural beings. Zhao Yunke was the most sentimental towards beauties. Heaven had sent him to see the screen, and through this brief encounter he realized that the beauties of ancient times were not those who put on rouge and powder to create beauty, which would have no effect on them until after death. He was a deity from the sky and the sea, who by chance came to the lower world as a beautiful woman with extraordinary talents. When he left a name behind after his death, it was the behavior of a deity.

I heard that since ancient times there was a painter who painted two soft screen pictures, which were the images of Lady Nanyue. He asked a scholar to call the painter's name, and called him Zhenzhen. After calling for a hundred days, the person in the painting came to life, came down to earth, became his wife, and gave birth to a son. Later, scholars suspected that he was a monster, so he took his son and put him back on the scroll. Things like this are all caused by the spirit of a beautiful woman, just like the weird things on the screen.

After the dream, Zhao Yunke kept thinking: "It is said that a talented man in the world will naturally find a beautiful woman to match him. The one I had in my dream was also a beautiful woman from my previous life. It is a great affinity with the Three Lives Stone. But I am very tired. If I really get a beautiful woman in the future and love her deeply, I will be like a fish in water all day long. How long will it take? I am afraid I will become a pervert, right?"

He was also thoughtful. Who would have thought that this talented person would have some good fortune in the future and there would be no need to worry at all. A few days later, Zhao Yunke went to the study again. Isn't it strange that he didn't expect that his lifelong encounter would be in this one glance?

Comment:

Su An was deeply puzzled by the bad slang used in the streets. People selling vegetables with onions as carriers and women cleaning pots were often referred to as having an affair. No wonder the novel is so obscene and incestuous, shameful and hateful. This time, the beauties of ancient times are regarded as gods, which is naturally different from those who engage in adultery. If you see that love is serious, then every flower and every blade of grass are related, and overseas jade should be called a confidant.

Chapter 2: A Lifetime of Emotional Obstacles and True Stories: Three Oaths

The poem says: "Untitled Imitating Li Yuxi"

Looking glass dancing phoenix fan,

The hairpins are small and swallows are low;

Cui Hui once appeared in the painting.

Nanyue was not married yet.

The fragrant mist is approaching at three o'clock.

Flowering branches, shepherd's purse in February;

Now I have infinite thoughts,

The sun sets in the west.

But Zhao Yunke walked into the study and examined the screen from top to bottom, and said, "I didn't know that the beauty had feelings for me, and that she suddenly had such a supernatural power. And the book knew that I had feelings for her, so I imagined her, but why did I never have such a dream before, but had such a strange dream as soon as I fell asleep in the study?" He put his hands on the screen, and felt it over and over again. Who would have known that by chance, they would get married as soon as they touched it.

Although the screen is a treasure, it is very old and the seams are not very solid. At first it was hidden in a quiet place and treated as a toy. Now, after being rubbed by Yunke, some fine cracks appeared on its head. Yunke patted him, and a piece of crystal ground on the screen fell down. Yunrong smiled and said, "It turned out to be fragile. I broke it!" He opened the empty space, and found that there was a piece of fine white silk hidden inside. He picked it out with his fingertips and looked carefully at the silk. There was a beautiful old poem.

A red book reader, not knowing what it meant, read the poem again:

The rich fragrance and delicate beauty are easy to see,

I picked some famous flowers and leaned against the painted railings;

Don't be sad with infinite mood,

The new tune of the pipa is lingering.

I looked at the mark on the silk again before I realized its origin. That was Empress Yang Taizhen at that time. She had been in the government for many years, from Emperor Wen of Sui to Kaiyuan of Tang. I think the screen was once broken and was repaired by Empress Taizhen, who embedded the poem in it as a mark. How do you know? Just looking at the words on the seal, there are four words "Yuhuan Private Seal", which are printed clearly.

Zhao Yunke was an expert in ancient history and knew that Yuhuan was Yang Taizhen's nickname. He also heard that Yang Taizhen often loved to play the pipa, so he understood the reason. He also printed his own name on the back, with two seals, both beautifully red and neatly printed. People only know that the screen is a treasure, but they don’t know that the poem has been around for more than 500 years since the Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, and is also an antique.

Yunke is conceited about his talent and doesn't like other treasures. When I saw this poem, which is an ancient artifact, I cherished it very much. That is to wear it by your side. But he put the crystal back in place, and in front of the screen, he faced the carved beauties, lit incense, and made a vow, saying: "I, Zhao Qingxin, am a lover in the world. From now on, if I meet a beautiful woman in the world, no matter the difficulties and obstacles, I will be together for life and death. But there are three things I don't want to do. First, I don't want women to put on a little powder, a little rouge, and a wig to make a wig-like beauty to enter the palace first; second, I don't want to have talent without beauty, because having beauty without talent is in line with the saying that women without talent are virtuous; third, I don't want to go through the six rituals and three formalities, and marry at the door, because it is said that it must wait for the parents' permission and the matchmaker's words."

Dear readers, please tell me why he doesn’t do these three things? It's just that there are too many people in the world who put on makeup and rouge, like a demon summoning a devil. When they see people, they put these fake things on their heads and face, and when they see their true colors, they don't even notice them at all. Some fools think that he pretends well, not knowing that the white powder he applies is dead white, the red rouge he applies is dull red, and the golden beads around his hair are just fake hair. If you look at him, he will either be smiling or annoyed. How can you get any benefit from that? A truly stunning beauty, with a straw hairpin and a cloth skirt, and dishevelled hair, has her own charm and beauty. Xishi holds her heart, is she putting on makeup to be coquettish? Generally speaking, false things in this world will always reveal a bit of cheapness. Zhao Yunke was a smart man, so the first thing he did was to reject this item.

A stunningly beautiful woman must be able to write poetry and paint. If one only has good looks but no talent, his or her words and expressions will naturally be shallow. The Taoist scholar thought that the woman was literate and might have let something slip. Nowadays, there are few literate people in the world, but many people leak information. Why is this? Therefore, only a person with both talent and beauty is a true treasure. However, the custom of marrying someone at the doorstep is highly valued by etiquette and laws. If a woman is engaged, she becomes a wife, while if a woman elopes, she becomes a concubine. This has been the case since ancient times. I don't know what Zhao Yunke was thinking, he suddenly changed his mind and put Zhou Gong's etiquette aside. Little did he know that this was the first kind of wonderful use that a smart person could recognize.

However, Mr. Zhao wanted to marry his son to his wife because his son had grown up. However, he knew that his son was of poor quality and since he was a beloved son, he did not want to ask a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for him easily.

That day, Yunke came up to him and said, "What are you reading in the study? I see you are growing up, so I want to marry you off. This is a matter of fate, so there will naturally be a match. But you should move up a level for your life. Who in the world today doesn't curry favor with the powerful? I see these young friends, who can read a few words, go to various places to seek students and form literary societies. When they take the exam, they will have someone to rely on. If they say that the top place will be mine, it will be interesting. Besides, you are new to the academy, and your literary talent is not as good as others. Why don't you go out and make friends with those friends who are seeking fame and fortune? When the big exam starts, you can get a high ranking and win some respect for your ancestors."

Yunke laughed and said, "Those friends who are pursuing fame and fortune can only drink together. If you want to find someone who is like-minded with you, it is rare to find one among thousands." That's what he said, after all, there are some little friends around him on weekdays. However, Yunke was a man of great talent and ambition, and he also enjoyed the pleasure behind the screen, so he was more interested in the beauty and less in fame and fortune.

It happened to be late spring, and the West Lake in Hangzhou was a famous place for entertainment throughout the ages. There were painted boats, flutes and drums, and there was no such thing that day. Su Dongpo wrote two lines of poetry that day, which said it well:

The water is bright and beautiful when the weather is clear.

The mountains are misty and the rain is also strange.

According to him, the West Lake is beautiful whether it is sunny or rainy, but apart from those who are looking for land and houses and vying for fame and fortune, they have never appreciated the beauty of the mountains and rivers. How much time have they missed? Don’t know about the other one? Yunke suddenly remembered that the West Lake was a gathering place for beauties, so why not bring a few friends and prepare a good boat to go there and take a look. If I could meet someone I love, I would marry him without any need for my parents to arrange a marriage for me. He immediately told his father that he wanted to hold a literary gathering at West Lake, and the official agreed. Wine, rice, silver and money are all available. He also entrusted the matter to an experienced family member named Zhao Yi to look after him.

At that time, Yunke went out to meet two of his classmates, both of whom were scholars. One of them was named Qian Tong, with the courtesy name Shenfu, and the other was Yunke’s cousin, with the surname Jin, given name Yaozong, and courtesy name Zirong. The two friends were both famous wealthy men in Qiantang County. Since Yunke was also a son of a wealthy family, the two of them often visited each other.

At that time, Yunke and others got off the boat together, taking with them all their musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and paintings, paper, ink, brushes and inkstones, books and seal boxes. That was the attire of a gentleman. When the men from the government office or the retainers went out for fun, they would definitely bring sheng, flute, stringed instruments, or backgammon cards. When a gentleman goes out, he only brings some music, chess, calligraphy and painting as his entertainment.

I saw Yunke and the other two getting off the boat, and the boat was neatly laid out. He also set up a table of fruit wine, and after the two of them had a half-drunk meal, Yunke said, "Before the three of us arrived at West Lake, we already had a scene of West Lake in our minds. Now, each of us should write a poem about West Lake."

What does it mean to miss West Lake? I am not really thinking about the West Lake’s vastness, breadth, and scenery, but interesting people all have their own thoughts. If you go to West Lake and encounter deep emotions when you see the scenery, you will let out all the thoughts in your life. This is called thinking about West Lake.

Yunke was a talented man riding a horse and finished the poem in one stroke, but he was only expressing his own feelings. Poetry says:

Ten years of dreams are full of prosperity,

The moon and the stars are separated by a crimson veil;

The Cuiyu Wall is adjacent to the Song residence to the east.

To the north of Yujin Hall is the Lu family.

The horse neighs and chases the affectionate grass quietly,

The swallows scissors the flowers with their chirping voices;

Today, I look out over the lake.

Don't let it be just the end of the world.

Qian and Jin were not particularly particular about composing poems, but when they saw Yunke had written a poem first and urged him to join them, they had to rack their brains and put together a few lines. Although they were not elegant and graceful, they were still interesting.

Qian Shiyun:

Today, the two of them thought about West Lake.

There is no day without poems being written on the lake;

Common people are the most capable of understanding.

Scholars read it everywhere.

Those who are busy and old are all celebrities,

In silence, worrying about poverty is like being a servant;

Trying to be polite and laughing at yourself,

It is better to lie down and hold the pot.

Jin Shiyun:

Nine scholars and ten beggars all followed the trend.

I also learned to write poetry by following the West Lake;

Laughing at my wild chanting, I shame Bei Ruan,

Why do you all try to imitate Dong Shi?

All my life I have been indulging in drunkenness,

Today we meet and we are foolish;

Zirong recited six lines with great effort, and said, "I can't do it now. I still remember the two lines of the ancient poem I read when I was young, so I continued it and pretended to be a famous scholar."

Rich people are not corrupt, poor people are happy,

At this point in life you are a man.

Yunke saw that both of them had finished their poems, and he praised them, "You two brothers are very talented, and I feel that my poems are too frivolous and delicate. But I have something in my heart that I have never said. Now that you two brothers are here, we can discuss it in detail."

Father Qian said, "Brother Zhao, are you hoping to get the first place in the exam? The other day, the governor of Pingjiang Road and Zhejiang West Road, Qian Bingzun, came to see me. I happened to ask for a letter from his hometown, and I got the second place in the exam. I immediately gave him a set of gifts and recognized him as a relative. If you have this intention, you only need more than 200 gold coins and ask him to do something. This is a very convenient way."

Jin Zirong said, "Why bother with so much effort? Just ask Mr. Li from this county to write a letter and it will be useful."

Yunke said with a smile, "I don't care about fame at all. I have been thinking about being a good person, and I don't need to do anything more. As for fame, there is a time limit, and it doesn't matter if it's delayed for a few years. But we are still young, and our careers can't wait until we are old."

The priest smiled and said, "So you have never had a wife. This is really a worry. I have been thinking about taking a concubine recently. My wife found out and she was so angry that the powder box and soap in the room all fell out. Fortunately, you have never experienced such hardship, so you can say such a thing from your heart."

The three of them laughed and looked at the road that was close to West Lake. They didn't know the scenery on the West Lake was so beautiful. Dear reader, please drink your tea slowly before continuing.

Comment:

The poem on the screen, spoken lightly, has already covered all the joints without any traces of artificiality.

Throughout the ages, the false cannot be confused with the true, and the partial cannot prevail over the whole. Despite the best efforts to embellish it, there will still be the mockery of being distorted and misshapen, which is pointed out one by one in the article, and it is very pleasing. As for the matching paragraph, the famous sayings are very convincing, which makes me feel that Zhou Li has done great harm to people. The last sentence is about the moral habits of the famous scholars. Su An just wanted to show off his writing skills to create more impact, he had no real intention to criticize anyone, the readers know this.

I recall when I was writing this, the slanting moon was shining on the table, incense was lingering around the curtain, and crickets were chirping. Looking at my own shadow, I feel lonely. There is some leftover wine in the bottle. I raise my cup to drink. I have got six quatrains with my remaining ink, which I attach here to express my feelings. Self-record:

Ma So

The pear tree is old and the temple is empty, and from now on the mountain is inaccessible;

I picked all the lychees but there was no pair left, and I am heartbroken amid the sound of rain.

Who in the post station said that she was ungrateful to the emperor? The female cow swore a secret oath to this day.

The country has suffered so much from destruction, why should the Jade Chariot hate Jianmen?

Ming Fei

At that time, the emperor was very concerned about the frontier, and the rouge on his horse was fragrant outside the frontier;

Never pity the mistake in the painting, how many people are lucky enough to see Lao Zhaoyang.

The soaring clouds stir up the feeling of separation, and a pipa tune is played on horseback;

Since Changmen has been unlucky, her name has been spread by all the beautiful women.

Chapter 3: A Chance Encounter Under the Moon, Chasing the Ring, A Small Marriage, and a Marriage in the Shop

Poetry says:

The embroidered curtains are not rolled up, the spring clouds are setting, the screens are covered with snow, and the delicate snow-covered clothes are about to be spread;

I stop singing about the mulberry trees on the roadside and stand by the fence watching the red rain.

I said I would lower my green hair to the goddess of flowers, but I was disgusted by my tears.

When will the bluebirds arrive at the Three Mountains? Looking back, the singing orioles have gone and returned.

But since Zhao Yunke got off the boat, he went to West Lake to change boats. He just wanted to change with the wind, and when he met a beautiful woman, even if he couldn't steal her, he still wanted to find out her whereabouts. Who wanted to moor the boat? It happened to be next to the small boat of Wang Xianghuan's family.

That night was the full moon day in March. The wind was calm and the moon was bright. It was a beautiful night scene. The lights were lit on the Yunke boat. There were people playing flutes and singing songs, as well as beating drums and setting off fireworks on all sides. After the second watch, it became quiet. Those two coins and gold should go to sleep first. Yunke came to the bow alone, looked around at the clear light, and felt as light as a fairy soaring into the clouds. Looking back, I saw a group of women gathered on the bow of a large ship next to me, and the smell of strange fragrance was overwhelming.

Yunke looked carefully and found that one of them looked like it had flown down from the Yaotai Terrace. Yunke was confused and didn't dare to speak easily. He just looked at it for a while. When the woman saw a man standing on a nearby boat and spying on her, she also got on board. Yunke said nothing and thought about it for half the night.

Who do you think is on the bow? It was Miss Yuhuan Wang who returned to Yangzhou. It was only because of his family's strict orders that he had to stay on the official ship during the day. Although he could be seen through the screen window, people outside could not see any trace of him. The moonlight was beautiful that night, and the flute players and drummers had left again. It was a good opportunity for me to enjoy the scenery from the bow of the boat with my wife and her maid. I didn't want to be seen by that lover. It was fate and a coincidence that this happened.

Zhao Yunke did not sleep all night, and at dawn he got up and washed quickly. When I walked to the bow, I didn't see a woman anywhere. I heard that it was on the boat last night. Could it be that the beauty on the screen appears again? While he was thinking about it, he saw a large ship beside him with a seal from the Imperial Commissioner for School Administration of Fujian Province, and he knew it was the family of a local official. I saw the boatman and asked him a few questions, and then I found out the truth.

Although Yunke said nothing, he thought in his heart, "It's better if we don't meet. How can I get rid of this affection if we meet?" While sitting in the boat, he had a few polite words with Qian Jin and others. Then he came up with a plan. He sent the experienced servant back first and said, "You'll be back after two days of fun." On the second day, the Wang family's boat was about to return. Yunke left the two of them behind, secretly bought a small boat, took some travel expenses with him, and followed the Wang family's big ship, traveling side by side all the way. They chased him to Yangzhou and even entered the city.

After staying there for two days, Yunke went out to inquire about the Wang family's news. Wang Xianghuan had not yet gotten up. When he returned to his apartment in the evening, he ran into Sun Huiniang face to face. Yunke bowed deeply and said, "I have been disturbing you here for days and I feel uneasy." Hui Niang did not say anything but walked inside. Yunke also went into his bedroom. That day, Hui Niang thought to herself, "My mother said that there is a scholar who has just rented a house. He is very talented and has a gentle character. I think he is the son of a good family. I don't know what his background is, but he lives here alone. Judging from his clothes and luggage, he doesn't look like a poor man." She felt a little attracted to him. After meeting Hui Niang, Yunke temporarily put his heart at ease about Miss Wang. I'm trying to make a cash transaction, but I just don't know where to start.

Another day passed, and the Aiquan couple went to the Yue Temple to fulfill a wish. We decided to buy some incense and candles and go out the next day. Yunke had already known that on that day, he would be urged to cook early and go out early to do his work. Aiquan and his wife said happily, "My son has been sent to the countryside, and there is no wife at home, only my daughter. Fortunately, the official who rented the house has left early, and we two have returned the incense and will be back in the evening."

Unexpectedly, Yunke was a smart man. He planned to go out in advance just to comfort the two old people so that his daughter would not need anyone to accompany her. In the morning, she bought some fine silk and exchanged it for some fine jewelry, took them with her, and came to the store and knocked on the door anxiously. Hui Niang was inside and thought that her mother must have forgotten something, so she went back and forth to get it and opened the door.

Yunke went in and closed the door. He walked to Huiniang's room calmly and said, "I, Zhao Yunke, am from a famous family in Hangzhou. Although I entered the Imperial Academy, I have not yet married because I have no good marriage plan. The day before yesterday, I went to Yangzhou Street for something and met you by chance. You said that you were definitely not an ordinary person, so you sent your family back and lived alone here. Today, it is a wonderful fate that we meet. If you don't abandon me, we can get married. If you don't like talented and affectionate people, please accept some small gifts. I won't bother you." He then handed over the silk and jewelry with both hands. But I see the fragrance all over the body, a kind and deep love.

How do you think Hui Niang should be dealt with? Although Hui Niang was from a poor family, she was also a talented woman. She said, "Since you are a scholar, you should abide by the rules. Adultery is not a lifelong plan. These gifts should not be given privately."

Fortunately, Zhao Yunke is extremely smart. When Huiniang heard the word "for life", she knew that he had a husband-wife relationship and said, "I am not a person who likes to be idle and weeds. No matter what you say, I will swear to be husband and wife." This sentence hit Huiniang's heart. Huiniang sighed and said, "I don't want to enjoy a lot of wealth, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with the withered flowers and scattered catkins later."

Yunke put down the gift, put his arms around Huiniang, and spoke tenderly, which was naturally a bit ugly. Why do you think Hui Niang gets along so quickly? Just because Zhao Yun stayed as a guest for several days, those who flattered Aiquan and his wife, burned incense and read books with her husband, and did everything diligently for Hui Niang. Hui Niang was also an eavesdropper, so the two sides were able to get along easily. Even the neighbors knew that Aiquan was a meticulous person, so he naturally took good care of his daughter and did not come to check on her that day. Exactly:

Marriage is ultimately destined by heaven, but love is the key to success.

It is said that when Zhao Yun met Hui Niang, he just talked to her about his kindness and his inner thoughts, and then said something like this and that, and then walked out of the door and went somewhere else.

Dear readers, you think that when others meet a woman, they would kiss her, take off their clothes, and go to bed with her first to cool down their temper. Why did Yunke just express his thoughts and then walk out? You should know that among all the women in the world, those who are good at having an affair will definitely have some hesitation and worry in their hearts, and will not easily reveal their intentions at the beginning. Unlike the girl next door, who is of prostitute-like nature and wants to go to bed with a man as soon as she sees him. Although he is the person she loves very much, he will definitely have some means to control the man when they meet for the first time. But you can have a lover under your control, and then you can do whatever he wants without any mistakes. This is exactly what it means for a smart woman to take the initiative.

As you readers know, in any relationship between a man and a woman, if they do something with their upper body, the man will take the first position. Although the woman was very cunning, she had no choice but to respond step by step. So Yingying seduced Zhang Sheng and clearly asked him to come at night to do the deed, but when they met, she changed her mind. It was not until Zhang Sheng saw Yingying that he became suspicious and unpredictable, and only then did he have sex with her. Hui Niang was a clever woman, and she was not obsessed with lust. Yunke saw through her heart and showed her some elegance. Naturally, he was convinced and kept this favor for himself, and began to flatter her slowly afterwards. This is also a smart man who knows the woman's nature and deliberately lets him do it first, so that things will be sure in the future. The idea of ​​still going out and arranging for his parents to come back was a plan to steal the flowers without letting anyone know, and it was also the method Yunke used when he first got started.

The Aiquan couple returned the incense and wished to go home. Seeing that it was getting dark, they asked their daughter to open the door and light a lamp. However, they did not see Mr. Zhao coming yet, and they were delighted. I just said that he was a scholar and had to be polite. He saw that my daughter was alone at home, so he came late. If that official came, I would prepare food for him quickly. I don’t know if scholars are just pretending to be polite. If they really have polite manners in their hearts, it would be difficult to have such a good image in Minglun Hall. Besides, the daughter's strategy is one level higher than the old man's.

Yunke waited until the first watch before entering the Aiquan store with a lantern. Aiquan said happily, "Where are you doing, sir? You come back so late!" Yunke said, "I saw you two old people went out to burn incense, and I knew no one was home, so you might as well come back." Aiquan smiled and said, "I went out and made you come so late. I'm afraid you must be hungry, so I asked mom to prepare food quickly." Yunke said, "You old people have been busy all day, so it's better to prepare food later." Yunke sat down, and Aiquan took the food to eat. Because he was burning incense outside, the meal that night was vegetarian. After Yunke finished eating, he went back to his room. This night's work was different from the previous ones. What's the difference? We must decide how to proceed with the plan we agreed upon just this evening.

Comment:

Zhao Yunke once vowed to marry the first type of beauty, but now he has not met Miss Yuhuan, but has met Hui Niang first. Isn't it like a sheep wearing tiger skin that is happy to see grass?

Chapter 4: Wild mandarin ducks suddenly startled by the web of injustice; infatuated butterflies are fascinated by flowers

Poetry says:

Who says there are so many wild flowers?

The mulberry trees in the garden are covered with beautiful silk;

If wild flowers really taste good,

Why is it necessary to ask for a mother-in-law in ancient times?

In the second chapter, the cooperation between husband and wife has been made clear. From now on, I should just continue to talk about the plan reached between Zhao Yunke and Hui Niang, so that all the audience will dance with enthusiasm. Why should I start talking about this poem again? I didn’t know that Yunke’s secret escape would bring benefits, which are too numerous to mention at the moment. But how could his parents at home suddenly stop thinking about him?

Ever since Yunke went to West Lake, his family only knew about him doing some gentlemanly work with Father Qian and Mr. Jin Zirong.

When the official saw his servant Zhao Yi coming home, he asked, "Why didn't you come back first?"

Zhao Yi replied, "My lord and Mr. Qian Jin, please enjoy your stay at West Lake. I am afraid that I have some important matters to attend to at home, so I am sending you back first."

The official didn't mention it either.

Three days passed in a row, and Zhao Yi was still sent to West Lake to wait. Zhao Yi looked everywhere but couldn't find the boat that Yunke was on. Zhao Yi said, "My husband must have gone with Qian and Jin. I just don't know if he is at Qian's house or Jin's house?"

Zhao Yi did not come back either, but went to Jin Zirong's house to inquire about the news, saying, "My husband's cousins, they must have gone to his house."

When we arrived at Jin's house, the doorman asked, "Uncle Zhao, what brings you here?"

Zhao Yi asked a few questions about Xun's master, and the doorman said, "Since the day before yesterday, I heard that my master went to West Lake with your master Zhao, the Zhang family has been clamoring for the distribution of the money every day. Moreover, the tax and grain for the second and third years of Zhiyuan are to be compared, and I don't know which warehouse of rice will be moved to pay. My master is not serious. Could it be that he went to watch the new play outside Yongjin Gate and acted as Cai Boji's recorder?"

Zhao Yi knew that he was not at Jin's house, so he went to Father Qian's house to ask and found out the truth. When we arrived at Qian's house, the gatekeeper was not there, but an old lady was standing in front of the gate. Zhao Yi then asked his mother, "Have you ever seen my great master come to your house?"

My mother recognized Zhao Yi as Mr. Zhao's family and said, "My husband has been out for three or four days. He had a quarrel with the empress the other day and was too embarrassed to go home. I don't know where he has been hiding these days. Your husband has not come to see me."

Zhao Yi was panicked and hurried home to inform the official. Others were sent out to look for him everywhere, but they were afraid that he was too young and his friends would ruin his character. There they learned that after Zhao Yunke saw Yuhuan, he secretly called a small boat, took his belongings and went after her.

That day, Qian and Jin went for a walk on the bridge, but when they got back to the boat, Yunke was gone. I thought Yunke had something to do, so I went home secretly without saying goodbye to him, which was very ridiculous. He also said that it was his bedding, far away in the boat, so he took it as a pledge.

Jin Zirong said, "Let's go back and see if he comes to my house."

Father Qian said, "I had a quarrel with my roommate the other day, and I have to spend a few days away from home. I heard that two new sisters have arrived nearby. Why don't you go and see them? If they are good, why not stay for a night or two? Put Zhao Yunke's bedding there, and when he sees Zhao Yunke, tell him to go and get it himself, and laugh at him to make up for his sin of leaving without saying goodbye."

Jin Zirong smiled and said, "That's enough."

The two of them actually went to a brothel.

Sure enough, not far away for a mile or two, there was a small path. The priest recognized it somewhat and went straight inside, putting down his bedding first. There were three prostitutes inside. Two of them came out first. They were relatively pretty, with oily hair and powdered faces. Later generations wrote a poem to commemorate the brothel story:

Put on powder and rouge and go out of the embroidery room,

Pretend to be coquettish to deceive the boy.

Seeing each other is all in the eyes of lovers,

He hugged Xi Shi and went to bed.

Langan said: "As the saying goes: 'In the eyes of lovers, beauty is in the eyes of ordinary people.'"

The two prostitutes were named Cai Lian and Xiu Lan. After drinking tea, Cailian laughed and said, "Gentlemen, you two have your own bedding when you come to my house. Why do you need to bring your own?" The priest said, "Lian Niang, you don't know. This bedding belongs to another friend. He didn't want to come with you. You put the bedding here and you will make fun of him later." The four of them laughed.

The brothel quickly prepared wine to entertain the two men. They drank until early in the evening and were in high spirits. The priest hugged Lian Niang, Qian Rong took Lan Jie, and they slept next to each other. Zirong had no skills, and when he got on top, Xiulan acted like a dancing butterfly exploring a flower. First, he raised his legs and raised his waist, and when the penis reached the vagina, he raised it with his hands and let go of his legs. Zirong's body seemed to have fallen from the sky into a cloud nest, and he had no control over it. Moreover, taking advantage of the drunkenness, he pushed the big thing all the way in at once. This went on for less than a hundred rounds, and he began to make some disgusting noises. I could not control myself and tried to hold on for long. I felt so dizzy that I fell asleep before the next morning.

It turns out that the rule of a brothel is that once you are possessed, the man with greater power might be the first to attack you ruthlessly. If you don't subdue him, he will subdue you. Zirong was a scholar after all, and he was subdued by him as soon as he was subdued. Only Father Qian was next door. He heard Zirong making such a big noise just after he got on the bed. He was an expert in brothels and thought, "He'll be fooled by this noise. I have my own plan. When I get on the bed, I'll just pretend to be drunk and not move my hands or feet."

When Lian Niang heard the people next door being so happy and saying such nice things, she felt like someone was tickling her in her vagina and wished the priest would get on top of her, but the priest just didn't move. After enduring for a while, I started to rub my hands and feet. My chest was sticking to my stomach, and I felt like I couldn't stand it any longer. After a while, he took a piece of silk, rubbed it under his belly, and then jumped up to do something to save fuel and trouble. This one was formerly called pouring. I have changed the title of this novel and here is a poem as a testimony:

The upside-down phoenix and the upside-down phoenix are adorable, and the nest hanging under their belly is a perfect match.

If you don't cherish the delicate flowers, why would you use the jade pestle to grind them high?

My dear sister, my dear sister, the candles are poured into half a pair.

The name of the poem on the right is "Ru Meng Ling"

The priest thought that the woman was so excited, so he pulled her over and had a night of candlelight with her. Lian Niang couldn't help but let the priest slowly unleash his methods, using all his eighteen martial arts. By the time it was past three o'clock in the morning, Lian Niang was exhausted and everyone was fast asleep.

However, Mr. Zhao was very anxious because he had lost his son. The family members heard that Qian and Jin were having fun at a brothel, so the official immediately called several people to follow them and went outside the city to look for them in person. It was a reunion of grievances, and they happened to run into the boy from the Jin family, who was also looking for the head of the family. They went to the brothel together, but as soon as the man entered the door, he couldn't see anyone. It turned out that the two of them were sleeping soundly, and after waking up they wanted to do some small activities to make the most of the night. Not wanting to hear the noise outside, the two of them got up, with disheveled hair and bare feet, and as soon as they left the room, they saw Mr. Zhao. The two were so frightened that they were dumbfounded. It was certainly not because they were afraid of anything, but because the official was an elderly and respected elder, the most serious and upright person in the village. Besides, Zirong is a relative, so he was shocked.

The official saw that the two men looked unhappy and thought that they had tricked his son into gambling and prostitution. He became angry and asked, "How could you young men do such a frivolous thing?"

And then he asked, “Where is my son?”

The two said, "Brother Zhao hasn't come in a few days."

The official became even angrier and asked his family to search the room, believing that the person was hiding there. The servant went in and searched, and found Zhao Yunke's bedding, saying, "The master's bedding is also here."

The master grabbed the two men and took them to the school to teach them a lesson. The two were so frightened that they became dumbfounded and could not utter a word. The family spoiled the fun of the brothel, and Chun carried the bamboo chair and broke a few pieces before leaving. For some unknown reason, the brothel's family moved away.

When the official was talking, his family reported: "There is a lot of blood on the official's bed."

The official looked back and burst into tears, saying, "You two must have murdered my son. You didn't intend for him to take away some silver and treasures, but you must have had evil intentions because of the prostitute's face. My son is young and has never been out of the house. He doesn't know the road. How could he go there and not come home? What's more, there are blood stains on the bedding. My son is a clean person by nature, how could there be such blood stains? This death is real."

It did not involve the school, but the prefectural magistrate's platform in front of the government office, shouting that he was murdering someone. The prefect was born to be an honest official. Normally, the magistrate blamed the scholars for harassing him, but since the scholars had committed crimes, they were punished more severely. Seeing Mr. Zhao crying and shouting, the magistrate said, "Why? Call him up."

The official dragged two disheveled barefoot men to their knees, crying, "Zhao has only one son, who is young and ignorant. He only thinks that it is easy to make friends in the world. Fifteen days ago, he was tricked by two thugs to the West Lake, who robbed him of his silver and treasures, and murdered him. No one knows where he was buried, but there are bloodstains on his bedding as evidence."

The prefect asked, "What are your names?"

The two of them knew each other's first names. The prefect asked, "Why murder his son?"

The two said, "Although the student has a basic knowledge of reading, he also knows some etiquette. How dare he kill someone? Besides, the Zhao family's son is a good friend and relative, so how could he do such a thing? We went to West Lake together the other day, and I don't know where he went. The students are not aware of this."

The prefect shouted, "I know that you lowly people are willing to turn your back on even your closest relatives for the sake of money and a little profit. As the name suggests, it's rare to find one among a thousand. You don't know where he went, so how did he go to West Lake together? The bedding is with you, but the body is gone. And the blood on the bedding is fresh, which is clearly murder. Put him in jail for now, and write a statement while applying to the Academy of Literature."

Father Qian and Jin Zirong were caught in the muddy water for the moment, unable to defend themselves, so they just had to listen to him. Let’s talk about the reason again.

Dear readers, even if Zhao Yunke is missing, why is it such a coincidence that there are bloodstains on the bedding? On that night, there were three prostitutes, two of them came out to entertain customers, and one of them was raped by someone else and started bleeding. At that time, there was nowhere to put the bedding, so it was temporarily placed on the prostitute's bed, and it was soiled in an instant. This is something that is unknown to gods and ghosts. If the prostitute is still there, it would be better to find out the truth and clarify the matter. Just to disappoint Mr. Zhao's family, they all moved away in an instant and could not be found anywhere. This matter has become serious, as it is also a grudge that was formed five hundred years ago. It's funny that Zhao Yun was enjoying himself in Yangzhou city, but he had no idea such strange things were happening at home. Now I am talking about Zhao Yunke again.

However, Sun Huiniang's appointment with Zhao Lang took place that very night. On that day, the Aiquan couple came back from burning incense, and they were very tired. Although they were vegetarians, their daughter heated up a few more bowls of wine for them, which made them happy for a while, and they ate two or three more bowls. When it got late, they just wanted to sleep. But his daughter's room was inside, passing by the bedchamber of the Fountain of Love. Every night, Aiquan would lock the door bolt himself. Aiquan had not slept for long when there was a noise from the wine jar outside, as if something was broken. Hui Niang said, "Oh no! There must be a cat outside. It must have climbed down and broken the wine jar."

Aiquan was about to fall asleep, so he called his mother, "Go and light a fire with your daughter and go check it out."

Hui Niang lit the fire, followed by her mother. She opened the door first and then the outer door. The fire in Hui Niang's hand went out instantly. It happened that Zhao Yunke was standing at the door. Hui Niang stepped forward and shoved him in, saying that she would light a fire and lead him to her room first. When we lit the lamps, there was nothing there. It turned out that the Sun family's wine jar was placed in front of the Yun guest room door. Make an appointment with him during the day, and when it gets darker, make a sound of the jar, then stand by the door and slip in in the dark. My mother still closed the door and went into her room to sleep.

Since Zhao Yunke had gone to Huiniang's bed, he had to exchange some greetings, and then he had to make some physical advances, and naturally he did all the sex. Although it was Hui Niang's first time, she didn't care because he was so sincere in love with her, even if he was a little fickle.

Hui Niang said, "I came in tonight just to discuss my lifelong plan, not just for a moment of pleasure. I hope you can tell me your true intentions."

Yunke embraced her, resting his arm on her head, and said, "My family is better than yours. I have never married a wife, and I don't need to talk about a hundred years of marriage. But there is one thing I must tell you first. I once met a young lady from the Wang family in front of the mansion, and I have feelings for her. If I can't get her, I'll just let her go. If I can marry her in the future, I'll make her provide for me like my sister. This is my original intention."

Hui Niang said, "You are such a talented person, you will surely find a good match in the future. But since I have met you, whether you want to marry or not, I will definitely follow you for life. As for my parents, they will make arrangements for him to be happy."

Yunke was full of flattery and made all kinds of promises. Suddenly, a rooster crowed outside and the east gradually became brighter. How do you think he got out of his room? Hey! It's easy to get in, but it's a bit difficult to get out!

Comment:

The frivolous young men sow the seeds of trouble in the midst of joking, and often make the false become true. Those who are knowledgeable must be cautious. Nowadays, young people are mostly frivolous and have no practical purpose. Some even regard their predecessors as pedantic and act recklessly. This is what the morale and habits of the famous scholars should be like! I am afraid that the foundation of the disaster is deep and the catastrophe will come quickly. A message to young people: if you know how to pick and choose, you will benefit endlessly. This should actually be read as the Doctrine of the Mean or the Analects of Confucius.

Chapter 5: Hidden Brocade Words, Everywhere, Heartfelt, Love Letters, Every Coincidence

There is a Suzhou folk song that is sung in reverse, which goes:

Last night I talked for a long time with my lover and fell into a deep sleep. I was so sleepy that I stayed up till dawn. There is no way to raise fish in the golden vase, and the mandarin ducks and duck eggs are in a panic on both sides.

You think that Zhao Yunke and Sun Huiniang were in bed, and if he wanted to go out, he had to pass by his parents' bed. If he didn't go out, how could he hide in such a small room? There are only two of them, so why should you panic? I don't know if they have their own good plans, so they are not panicking at all.

The two of them hugged each other's hands, and when they heard the rooster crowed, they dared to fall asleep. When I woke up, the sun was already in front of the window. Hearing the sound of Aiquan and his wife getting up next door, Hui Niang asked, "Is it Daddy who is getting up? I left my head out last night to light a fire, and I think I caught a cold. I have a severe headache this morning. Daddy, go buy me some basil to soak in the hot water."

Aiquan said, "In that case, I will go out and buy some. Mom, please get up and look ahead, in case someone comes to buy some wine." Mom also got up.

Aiquan went out to buy basil. Hui Niang asked her mother again, "Has Dad gone out? I forgot to ask him to bring some ginger." She only asked this question to find out whether Aiquan had really gone out. My mother said, "He's gone. We need him to come back and buy it."

Hui Niang asked again, "Mother, please come and see me soon. Why is my head aching so much?"

My mother actually pushed open the door, went to Hui Niang's bed and opened the curtains. Hui Niang was sleeping in the bed. She pulled her mother's hand to her side and touched her head. The old mother laid herself on her daughter's bed, and at night she took some messy clothes and piled them on a chair against the door.

Yunke hid under a chair and waited until Huiniang pulled her mother's box onto the bed and drew the curtains again. Then he walked out of the room quietly. The door outside, which Sun Aiquan used for the real Perilla, has been fully opened without any obstruction. Isn't this a good idea without rushing? From then on, Yunke took every opportunity to communicate with Huiniang. He gave all the things he had with him to Hui Niang for safekeeping. There were some books and toys in the gift box, which were also given to Hui Niang, leaving only a piece of silk with a poem that fell out from behind the screen. Because Hui Niang was not good at literature, she did not give it to him.

One day, I went to the mansion and inquired about the Wang family's news. It happened that Lao Wang went to Beijing to report, and the house was quiet. Yunke changed into cloth clothes, rushed into the house, and first met the uncle who was in charge of the door.

The gatekeeper asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Yunke bowed deeply and said, "Uncle, my ancestors lived in Zhejiang. My father was a merchant who wanted to buy goods in Yangzhou. He was robbed and injured by thieves on the way. I was left alone to escape here. I have no relatives to rely on. I had to rely on a local official to make a living. I can copy books and write, so I beg you to introduce me to him."

The doorkeeper said, "My master has gone to the capital to report, and there is no husband at home, so you are of no use to me."

After taking a look at him, she saw that Yunke had a gentle figure and was well-proportioned. She smiled and said, "It's a pity that our family rules are very strict. If other ladies saw a young man like this, they would make some nice clothes for him to wear."

Yunke begged again and again, saying, "I just want to get by, and I don't want to enjoy like other families."

The gatekeeper said, "Well, I'll report it to the Madam. I don't know if it will be useful. If it is accepted, you will be asked to look after the flowers and trees in the East Garden. When the master returns home, I will assign you other tasks."

The news was passed on through the gong at the back of the hall, and then they agreed. Yunke was immediately led to the East Garden, where he also had several companions, who lived in the garden and took turns on duty.

It turned out that the rules in Old Wang's house were very strict, and children under three feet tall were not allowed to enter the back hall without permission. There is a world of difference between Yunke and Miss Thought. Although he lived in the garden, he often visited Sun Aiquan's home. The Aiquan couple do not know the details. Hui Niang knows what's in her heart.

Let me tell you that Yunke originally came here just because Miss Wang wanted to see her, so he asked for a favor. Who would have thought that living in Dongyuan would have no impact at all, and his heart was confused and unsettled. He often went to secluded places, chanting the word "Miss" like a mantra, thinking of her all the time. Late at night, in my dream, I called out "Miss" loudly without realizing it. Fortunately, I went to a small room alone and did not sleep with my companions, so I did not show any ugly behavior.

Suddenly one night, the moonlight was hazy, and there seemed to be sounds of movement beside the bamboo pavilion. Yunke was bored at the moment, and when he heard someone walking outside the window, he thought his companions were inviting him to drink, or were looking for him to ask questions, so he hurriedly opened the door. The night is bleak and there is no trace.

Yunke was about to enter the room when he turned around and saw a woman standing under the Peony Terrace in the distance, leaning against a lake rock, with a maid about fourteen or fifteen years old beside her, hiding herself.

Yunke missed the young lady so much that he was in a trance. Suddenly, he saw these two beauties and thought to himself, "I have been here for more than a month and have never seen a beautiful woman, not to mention an ugly one. Why did I have such a strange encounter tonight? Could it be that the young lady knew what was in my mind and secretly acted like Zhuo Wenjun? Let's go up and ask him what happened to him?"

Walking gently past the railing, the woman came towards him, with a charming appearance and an attractive figure. The maid spoke first, "I am a servant of this yamen, and this lady is my yamen's young lady. I know that you miss me all the time, so I came here to ask for a private appointment. What do you think?"

Yunke was flustered and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said, "It is a great honor for me to have the young lady come to visit me. How could I be so blessed to receive such kindness?" As he spoke, he gradually moved closer to her, held her hand, and walked to his room. At that time, the dim lights were flickering. Yunke hugged her jade body and sat with her. He first rubbed her fragrant skin and then undressed her. He took off a few pieces of light and soft clothes until they were in front of his chest, and suddenly a strange object, shaped like crystal, appeared, illuminating the whole room.

Yunke asked, "Miss, what is this toy?"

The beauty said, "This is a gem passed down from my ancestors. I have carried it with me since I was a child and never leave it."

Yunke had no time to go into details at this time, but he went to bed with him and planned something good together. But it's also strange. Although the other women are extremely beautiful, they have ordinary attitudes. But that beauty, as soon as she got into bed, put the treasure in front of her pillow. But inside the tent, there was a flickering light that made people dizzy. The moment of sexual intercourse is like being in a drunken dream, no longer able to distinguish between other people or things, but only feeling completely satisfied and dizzy.

It was almost five o'clock in the morning when the maid urged the beauty to go home. She packed her clothes and said goodbye with care. From then on, he came every night to express his gratitude, with nothing else to say. Yunke just thought that the young lady was an unrivaled beauty with such extraordinary qualities, not like an ordinary woman, so he was not very confused.

Suddenly one morning, the steward came with orders to clean up the East Garden. The next day, the madam wanted to invite a certain lady from the yamen to walk around in the garden, and everyone had to carefully take care of the flowers and trees. Yunke thought, "This lady will definitely come. I will see her during the day, but what does she look like at night?"

At noon the next day, the lady came as expected. She invited the lady of a certain yamen and her daughter, along with a dozen maids, to prepare wine in the East Garden. Those who were in charge of the garden had all gone out, leaving only Yunke hiding under the plum tree in the back hall, beside the lake rocks.

A group of women came in and asked Yunke, "Who are you? My lady is here, why don't you leave?"

Dragged in front of the Madam, Yunke knelt and said, "I am a new comer, and I don't know the Madam's house rules, so I broke them."

The lady said, "In that case, let's wait for him to leave."

Dozens of women pushed and pulled Yunke, tearing his clothes to pieces. Firstly, they thought he was a handsome young man, so they showed him off intentionally; secondly, they felt a little presumptuous when they saw ladies walking past the flower fence. Yunke felt dizzy from pushing the ball and left the girl in the garden. A small bag on his body was left in the garden, and in the bag was the poem silk that fell from the screen, and two or three taels of silver.

Yunke said, "How hateful! The young lady couldn't see clearly and lost a small bag. The silver in the bag is fine, but it's a pity that the poem silk is an antique. If someone picked it up, it must have been damaged."

The small bag that Yunke dropped was picked up by a maidservant beside the young lady. She untied it and took out the silver first. Then she saw a piece of silk with a poem and said, "What a nice piece of silk, except for these few lines of words. If the two books are plain, they can also be used to make a few pairs of shoes."

Then he said, "My young lady can read. Let's take it to her to have a look. I wonder who this new servant is. How could he have this thing?"

Only on this day the garden was bustling with activity, but everyone went back home in the evening. It is said that the maidservant picked up the silk with the poem and did not dare to hide it. She returned to the mansion and told the young lady under the lamp at dusk: "Today in the garden, the new servant was chased out by the women. A piece of silk fell beside him with a few lines of words on it, but I don't know what they said." Then she handed the silk to the young lady with both hands.

I saw the young lady turning the poem over and over again, unable to read it. He thought, "This is strange. That piece of silk with poetry on it is not an ordinary thing. Why do the words in the poem agree with my thoughts? And the mark on it is also mine." He recited the poem several times in secret. He said, "I love playing the pipa, it's a private matter, how come there is a line in the poem saying 'Don't be sad, the new tune of the pipa is lingering'? That's fine, but the four characters on the seal are clearly my small characters."

He looked at the mark below and found it was Zhao Qing's heart mark, which made him feel doubtful and uncertain.

Maybe it's my daughter's personality. Once she gets happy about something that is so insignificant, she will take it seriously. The young lady hid the poem on the silk and dreamed about it that night. I dreamed of a place with uneven bamboo and trees. But I saw a young man standing in the shadow of the bamboo. He was handsome and had a look of envy in his eyes. He gradually approached me. When he turned around and saw his mother taking action and pointing at a few maids and saying something, he was suddenly awakened. When I got up the next day, I had a dream because of the poem, and I fell in love because of the dream. From then on, even though the lights and magpies were chirping, he still felt a little doubtful and even stopped playing the pipa.

It is said that the young lady usually has a companion in her writing, who is also a young lady. Her surname is Wu and her name is Jiangying. She is the lady's niece, one year older than the young lady, and she lost her parents when she was young. He had a brother who was a famous scholar in Yangzhou Prefecture. His family was wealthy and lived close to the Wang family. Because Mrs. Wu only had one daughter and she had no one to talk to, she often invited her niece to live in her home. Miss Jiangying was a charming, intelligent woman with a keen eye for words, skilled in poetry, prose, and needlework. She and Miss Yuhuan were like a sister, and they were extremely close, knowing everything that was on their minds.

One day, Miss Yuhuan told Jiangying what Shijuan said. Jiangying said, "Since this has happened, why don't we take this opportunity to call the newcomer and ask him if his surname is Zhao and his background, and then we will know."

The young lady said, "That's good. But I can't ask you any more questions at the moment." She never mentioned it again.

Look at the scenery in autumn after a summer, it is really pleasant. The fragrance of early osmanthus is strong, the moonlight is dim under the fading parasol tree, the scene is poetic and picturesque, and it touches the heart. It turns out that Mrs. Wu’s birthday is August 13th. This year I celebrate my 50th birthday, and all my relatives and friends come to congratulate me.

Jiangying said to Miss Yuhuan, "It's your birthday, everyone congratulates you. You and I have to do something to celebrate your birthday. But the rare treasures and toys are all ours, so they are not rare. I know you are a great writer, why don't you write a birthday article and make a brocade screen and put it in front of the hall tomorrow. It will be a gift that no one else has."

The lady smiled and said, "This one is very good, but it will make me look bad again."

That day, he made some preparations and asked his family members to make a fine brocade screen for him. Following the young lady's orders, the family worked day and night to complete the beautiful makeup. All are ready, just write the birthday message on the gold foil. As it was not convenient for the young lady to tell others about what she had done, she asked her family to select someone who could write and have him describe it in the back hall.

The family members thought, "I heard that the young lady has a very difficult personality and is very difficult to serve. Besides, writing on the brocade screen is not easy. If there is a mistake, how can we make up for it? The gardener Xiao Zhao said that he has good handwriting, so let him go in." This was also a hard job.

Who would have thought that Zhao Yunke didn't feel lonely all summer because of what happened at night. Suddenly I heard him writing inside, and my heart was filled with joy. She dressed herself neatly, wearing a piece of palace flowered brocade underneath, and she did not look like someone who depended on others. After being called from the front hall, he walked into the back hall.

Meixiang's maids stood around. The lady came out first and asked, "What's your name?" Because he had only been dead for a few months, she asked this question.

Yunke bowed and said, "My name is Zhao Qing."

One of the maids said, "It was that day when we invited Madam to visit the East Garden. The man who was kicked out in the garden had long been forgotten by Madam."

The lady smiled and said, "I heard you can write, so I'll ask you to write on that brocade screen."

I saw two young ladies standing behind the lady, looking at Yunke carefully from head to toe, thinking in their hearts: "That man is Zhao Qingxin in the poem. He is talented and handsome, and dressed like this, he is definitely not an ordinary person. He must be pretending to come to my house."

This young lady has two pairs of smart eyes, how can she escape from him? Yunke calmly traced the golden characters with his brush. Each stroke was neat and regular, with a sense of calligraphy. This was originally his specialty, and when he saw the young lady, he showed even more of his skills.

Jiangying and Miss Yuhuan went to the room and discussed, "That man has an extraordinary appearance, so it's not easy to interrogate him in front of everyone. You can write him a letter to find out his origins."

At that moment, Jiangying took a piece of paper, wrote a word, and sealed it. He took a piece of silk, hid the words inside it, went out and called Meixiang, gave the silk to Yunke, and said, "The young lady said that your handwriting is good, so I will give you a piece of silk first. When you finish writing tomorrow, I will give you something else."

Yunke was writing halfway when it was getting late. He put on his silk sleeves, thanked the lady and came out. When he returned to the garden, he thought, "Today I went in and saw the young lady in person for the first time. But why did she look so dignified during the day, but not at all like she does at night?" He was puzzled and opened the silk, and saw a letter. When I opened it, I saw the words:

The appearance is extraordinary. When you come in tomorrow, you can write down your family background, name, and reason on a piece of paper and place it under the brocade screen.

After seeing the letter, Yunke became more puzzled and said, "How long have I been with him? Why does the letter ask about my background? Could it be that the one I had sex with at night was not the real lady, but someone using a false name? But the treasure on her chest must be owned by a great man. How can an ordinary person have it? I don't want to bother with him. Let nights do their own things, and days do their own things. I will tell the lady my purpose tomorrow and see how he gets on." When the beauty came that night, Yunke did not mention the matter of writing about Jinping.

The next morning, he actually wrote a poem on a piece of gold phoenix paper to express his thoughts, and still typed his name at the end of the poem. It turned out that Yunke had two books, one of which he left at Sun Huiniang's place and the other he carried with him for easy use.

Poetry says:

When the West Lake scenery gets dark,

Under the moon, there are many sentimental colored silks;

The music of the zither should pity the Sichuanese.

The sound of the flute is not that of the Qin branches.

The clouds are deep and the streams are shrouded in red trees.

Spring enters the Jade Terrace and presses down the green curtains;

I heard that the Three Mountains are not far away.

I express my longing for you in my dreams many times.

After Yunke finished writing the poem, he sealed the paper and took it into the back hall. After writing on the brocade screen, he placed his own words underneath it. The lady gave him some more gifts, and Yunke thanked her and turned away. Jiangying had already walked to the brocade screen, took Yunke's calligraphy, went into the room and handed it to Miss Yuhuan to read. The young lady gently opened it and found it was a regulated verse. After carefully reading the poem, it turned out that it was written for him. The first sentence reminds me of our encounter on the boat on West Lake. Although the young lady did not say it, she could not help thinking of Wenjun. It was a pity that there was someone in the East Garden who pretended to be a native of the garden and secretly wrote articles.

Comment:

Yunke missed the young lady so much that it manifested itself in his dreams, so a fake young lady came to fool him. Even when the brocade characters were passed on to one's heart, one still could not tell whether they were genuine or not. There is a method of damaging the writing style among writers, this is one of them. The person who sees this is eager to finish the matter, so even if there are some important points, he should put them aside and look back quickly.

Chapter 6: The Luanfeng and the Phoenix Make an Alliance at the Green Snow Pavilion, and the Mandarin Ducks Disperse Alone on the Green Marriage Boat

Poetry says:

The spring scenery is depicted in the dream, and the fragrant soul disappears in the mirror;

I went to pick herbs not because I was lost in the Jade Cave, but because I had promised to marry her at the Blue Bridge.

The pear blossoms and the moon are quiet as they peek at Qin’s wife, while the willow trees are low and slender as they compare to Chu’s waist;

I heard that my house is near the water, so I would like you to check the tide in Guangling.

It is said that when the young lady saw Yunke's poem, she did not speak easily. After thinking for a while, he turned to Jiangying and said, "Although that man seems to be a talented and romantic man, how can we just rush into a relationship with him because of his behavior? If we are destined to be together in this life, we must ask him to go home and find someone to act as a matchmaker. Otherwise, there will be no reason for us to meet."

Jiang Ying said, "Sister, you are wrong! Talented and beautiful people are very rare in the world. You will marry a prince the next day. If you are not satisfied with him, you will never be happy for the rest of your life. Since he has devoted himself to this, he must be very interesting. And seeing his poems and his handsome appearance, I can believe him. Since ancient times, the prime minister's family has been locked up and shared with others, which has been passed down as a good story. Is this a fate sent by heaven? How can I miss it right in front of you?"

The young lady was urged by Jiangying to speak in a logical manner, and she felt reluctant to let go. She said softly, "If this is the case, what can I do?"

Jiang Ying said, "It's not difficult. The day after tomorrow is the young lady's birthday. After we celebrate, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't we prepare wine in the East Garden? Just ask mother to watch the moon together, and ask him to hide there that night, so that we can find out the truth. When he returns, we can wait for him to make a plan for his life."

The young lady had no choice but to say, "Take your time to think about it."

Why do you think Miss Jiangying is so helpful? He was a sentimental man, and seeing that Yunke was so adorable, he wanted to take advantage of her by using Miss Yuhuan's name. If the young lady is not interested, how can he do anything else? So go for it. It is also the cloud guest who should use Huaxingzhaoming, as there is such a helper in it. Two days later, it was my wife's birthday, and there were many people outside carrying trays and boxes, needless to say. The young lady asked Meixiang to unfold the brocade screen, and in the back hall there were rare treasures and toys, and she saw:

The jade candle and silver plate, the light illuminates the fairy’s cave.

The golden lion and the precious tripod led the Queen Mother down to the Yaochi Lake in the auspicious smoke.

The seafood and mountain delicacies on display, first offer the thousand-year-old peach,

The tall pines and cypresses that we offer as offerings are fortunate to have the osmanthus blossoms in the third autumn.

It is the deer carrying grass to add to the brocade, and the cranes dancing on the jade banquet to offer birthday cups.

The lady was congratulated that day and happened to be busy for two days. The third day was August 15th. The young lady got up in the morning and told Meixiang to ask her family to prepare wine in the East Garden so that she and her wife could celebrate the reunion festival. At noon, she called several maids and followed Miss Jiangying to the East Garden to tidy up the garden. Several seals were put up, and all places were sealed off so that outsiders were not allowed to investigate. The person in charge of the garden was ordered to wait outside the garden.

But Miss Jiangying, when she arrived at the East Garden, although she tidied up the pavilions and arranged the banquet, these were actually trivial matters. She had her own ideas in mind. After blocking the outer gate all the way, turning around the flower fence and walking along the bamboo path, we saw a pair of small pavilions called "Green Snow Pavilions", leaning against the beautiful rocks of Taihu Lake. There is a high platform of peonies in the front, a distant rose stand in the back, and thousands of green bamboos surrounding it on all sides. Even the Tiantai Immortal Road is not as elegant as this.

Jiangying made a secret appointment with Zhao Yunke to live in this pavilion, but put a piece of paper against the small door. Those girls didn't know there was someone inside, and they didn't dare to open the door to check. I wait for a good night to make a marriage alliance with the young lady. In the afternoon, dozens of women, surrounded by ladies and young ladies, came to the garden for a family banquet.

Jiangying came down the steps to greet him, and they laughed for a while. The lady asked the two young ladies to sit together, have tea first, and then have snacks. Gradually, the red crow set in the west, and the white rabbit rose in the east, like a flying mirror, shining on the two Chang'es. But in the painting hall, the air was filled with the fragrance of agarwood and the embroidered candles were shining brightly. The young lady showed her slender fingers and held a plate of flowers and presented it to the lady. Then they were divided into groups and sat down to serve, it really looked like a wealthy family! There is a little poem, which says that his feast is grand, and also thinks about what they mean:

The jade cup dispenses the nectar, the golden body offers the burnt bear first;

Among the rare treasures, the purple camel hump is not the most important, the fetus is also the most important.

The lotus leaves are tied together with two threads, and the lotus pods are twins.

It's a night of lateness at home, and the mood is thick. Who will be reunited with me?

The two young ladies persuaded the lady to drink until the second watch, when she stood up and stopped drinking. The young lady instructed Meixiang, "Make the bed and help the lady to sleep first. I will go for a walk under the moon with Miss Wu. You can prepare some wine and each of you can have a few more cups to show the lady's kindness."

The maids, following the young lady's orders, were all overjoyed and drank the hot wine. Jiangying took Miss Yuhuan's hand and slowly walked to the "Green Snow Pavilion", opened the small door, and called Zhao Lang to come and welcome the fairy. The young lady wanted to go but hesitated, and was followed by Jiangying into the pavilion, where she closed the door and waited behind the Taihu stone.

Yunke was surprised and in love when he saw the real lady. He dared not offend her easily, so he knelt down and said, "I am Zhao Yunke. I met you under the moonlight in West Lake some time ago. I was destined to be your wife. Since then, I have missed you day and night. Tonight, I am here to express my feelings. I live in Qiantang, and my wealth is as good as yours. I despise fame and wealth. But I think it is hard to find a beautiful woman, so I am willing to meet you. If you take pity on me and fall in love with me, we will make a promise under the moonlight. I will go home today, spend all my wealth, and ask a matchmaker to arrange the marriage. We will be together for a hundred years."

The young lady said, "I saw your poem the other day and knew you were a talented man. My cousin Jiangying also helped me with this. But if I want to find a matchmaker, I must find the right person to come to Beijing and tell my father. My father is a very stubborn person and we must not rush. If you need money, it is not difficult. You can stay for a few days and I will ask Jiangying to pay you some money as travel expenses. I have kept the poem silk that you lost before. This is the time for marriage."

Yunke was overjoyed, and felt very much like he wanted to spend this wonderful night in vain. How could he be worthy of Miss Yuhuan, who had such a noble demeanor, just like a fairy from heaven, without any worldly qualities that could be disrespected? After staying for a while, he came out of the pavilion. Jiangying was a very smart person. When she saw the young lady, she was afraid that he might be shy, so she held her hands and said, "Your thoughts are always the same as mine. I believe what Zhao Lang said is not false. I will make everything clear to you." The young lady lowered her head and said nothing, and the two of them continued to walk into the lady's room. All the maids were intoxicated and served the two young ladies until they fell asleep.

The next morning, after washing up, she packed up and went back to the back hall. Yunke was so delighted to be able to enjoy the garden pavilion that he was about to get up and go home. Thinking about being alone here for four or five months, I don’t know what my parents think of me. At first it was just for the young lady, hence the delay. Now it’s time to go back and make plans. But I don’t know whose house the fake girl I met the night before is next door? Because the garden was busy last night, he didn't come. When he comes tonight, we must investigate it clearly.

That day, I was busy all day preparing to pack my things and looking for a way home. At dusk, the beauty from the previous night, along with her maid, came to Yunke's room with a pot of fine wine and two basins of seasonal fruit. She congratulated Yunke and said, "Last night's event was very joyous. My concubine and I have brought wine and fruit to congratulate you."

Just this one sentence. Yunke was so frightened that his heart was beating wildly. He thought, "We had a secret meeting last night, and even the gods and ghosts didn't know about it. How come this woman knew about it? I have been looking for her all day long, but there is no trace of her. This must be the mountain demon Muke, who has transformed. I will persuade her to drink a few more glasses of wine tonight and try to seduce her with sweet words. Let's see what happens."

Yin smiled and said to the beauty: "How do you know what happened last night? I miss my hometown so much that I want to talk with you. I have already prepared some good wine here. You also brought wine and fruits, which is just what I want."

So they put the chairs in place and the two of them sat down close together. The maid warmed up the wine. Yunke’s drinking capacity comes from his generosity. The two chatted and drank until the second watch. The beauty was already about eight or nine points drunk, and Yunke kept persuading her, so after drinking for a while, she became intoxicated. Yunke hugged him to the bed, took off his clothes, and took advantage of the drunkenness to have a fierce battle with him. The beauty was so drunk that she fell asleep. It was also appropriate that they had something to do, so they met overnight, and Yunke went to bed first. Only that night, Yunke did not close his eyes because of his concern, and he actually fell into a sound sleep. Yunke became more suspicious at this time. He looked at his body carefully and found that he didn't look like a woman at all. But the treasure worn on his chest was shining brightly, lingering around his body.

Yunke thought, "I often read unofficial history and saw some strange things about spirits who made Yin Dan and whose light surrounded their bodies. If people touched it, they would wake up immediately. If people breathed in its light, they would be affected by people. I will try this book tonight."

Right on the bed, she gently faced his body and inhaled the precious light with her mouth. Who knew that this light was swirling at first, but after being breathed in by Yunke, the light gradually entered his mouth.

Yunke took a sip and swallowed it immediately. When he had taken half of it, he felt that the treasure had become smaller. Yunke felt an unusually warm feeling in his stomach. He knew that the words in the book had come true, so he simply took a deep breath and absorbed all his light. The light was gone, and the treasure in my chest disappeared.

Yunke pretended to be asleep and observed the movements. The woman suddenly woke up and sat up. As if he had lost his soul, he pushed Yunke's hand to wake him up.

Yunke pulled the woman and said, "Madam, why are you sitting alone on the bed when we can sleep together?"

The woman sighed several times, tears streaming down her cheeks as she said, "I have been practicing in Guangling City for decades, and I don't want to lose all my efforts tonight."

Yunke also sat up and asked, "What do you mean?"

The woman said, "Zhao Lang, I'm telling you the truth. I'm not a woman. I'm the fox spirit that has lived in Guangling for many years. I don't mean to harm people, but I need to borrow some men's Yang essence to complement my Yin Dan so that I can transform. I'm not like the women in your family, who have enough food and clothing, and only care about their own happiness. They treat other people's spirits as flowing water and squander them all the time. Unexpectedly, you saw through me while I was drunk tonight and sucked my Dan away. Fortunately, I have slept with you for more than a month, and my Yang essence has filled my Yin fetus, so I can survive. Otherwise, the Yin Dan would have dispersed and I would have died. I'm leaving you now and can no longer transform into a human. I'll hide my original form and continue to take the light of the stars and the moon to refine it into Dan. It will take at most half a hundred years, at least ten or twenty years, and we'll meet again. Don't think I'm heartless just because I'm different. My dear, please take care of yourself. I'll also be in seclusion from now on."

After saying this, he put on his clothes, stood up, held her hand and sobbed. When Yunke heard this, he also felt sad and tried to comfort her with kind words. As dawn approached, they said goodbye with tears in their eyes. Yunke saw them off to the back garden and then left slowly with the maid.

It turned out that this fox spirit lived in Guangling City, but would hide in places where no one was walking around in the garden. He used to suck his yin dan often, but because he saw Yunke was sleeping, he was afraid that sucking it in his mouth would easily expose it, so he deliberately wore it on his chest, calling it a jewel, so that it would shine in the tent at night so as not to suspect anything. Who would have thought that the fine wine would cause trouble and lead to the loss of what one was committed to. It can be seen that private banquets are not easy to eat.

Yunke got up early in the morning and went to Sun Aiquan's house, where he said goodbye to Huiniang and asked him to marry the young lady and go home together. In the afternoon, he returned to the East Garden and made plans: "I have been in Yangzhou for less than half a year and everything has been done. In just one or two days, I will be able to return."

Since swallowing the fox pill, he felt more energetic. It was a miracle from heaven, a blessing in disguise. From then on, his heart was entirely on Miss Wang. I thought it was a secret from the gods and ghosts, and it was a secret that could steal the sky with its magic hands. Who knew that this marriage would bring even more unexpected concerns?

After watching the moon, the young lady returned to the orchid hall. Jiangying asked about the news. The young lady said, "What Zhao Lang said is exactly what I guessed. But if we keep him, I'm afraid the news will leak out. It's better to pay him some silver and send him back first, and ask him to plan his marriage as soon as possible. Let me take this five hundred taels of silver, and just say that I'm going back to visit my brother and sister-in-law temporarily. When I get home, I'll send a secret letter to Zhao Lang. It's very convenient."

The young lady immediately gave five hundred gold coins to Jiangying. Jiangying went to the lady and said, "I haven't seen my brother and his wife for a long time. I will go home for a day or two and come back soon."

Madam said, "In that case, have the family take the sedan chair to send Miss Wu away."

Jiangying followed Meixiang and returned home. His brother had gone to the countryside and was not at home. After seeing my sister-in-law, I went to a room to rest. A plan suddenly came to her mind, and she thought, "Who wouldn't love Zhao Yunke's talent and beauty? Yuhuan asked him to go back. If he goes to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage and actually comes to marry Yuhuan, then where will my love for him be lost? I might as well send a letter to Yunke, saying that the young lady is interested in Hongfu, and asks to find a boat tomorrow morning and meet at a place to wait. Tomorrow I will go with him first. Even if he later marries Yuhuan, I will not be lost." She wrote a letter and gave it secretly to Meixiang, telling Yunke this reason.

Yunke was in the garden when he suddenly received the letter, so he found a boat and waited in the river northeast of the city. He then handed Meixiang a letter and said, "I will obey your order and wait for you under Kaiming Bridge."

Yunke thought that Miss Wang had no idea how to get away. But if you go back suddenly, you have to be careful.

The next morning, a sedan chair with Meixiang arrived at the bow of the ship. Yunke helped him down from the boat himself and quickly opened the boat. It turns out that she was not Miss Wang, but Miss Wu. Jiang Ying told her what was on her mind, saying, "I left my sister-in-law today and said I was going to Wang's house again. No one was checking me, so it was easy for me to come. I also have five hundred silver coins in the box for my travel expenses."

Yunke is a famous and romantic general, just like Huaiyin’s use of troops, the more the better, isn’t it a happy thing? Let’s discuss Miss Yuhuan’s matter when we get back.

During this romantic boat trip, the newlyweds really enjoyed the joy of marriage. After rigging both ends of the boat, they finally left Yangzhou City. Walking along the road, we came to a village. The evening mist was thick and the night was bleak. The boatsman stayed on the oars and spent the night there. The two of them slept together that night, feeling much more peaceful than at Sun Hui's parents' home. With only Meixiang as a companion, it is not easy to have fun. The buds of the crimson flower are just beginning to bloom, half reluctantly and half unwillingly. The Yunke style is so charming that it makes people intoxicated. Although they did not dare to engage in a full-scale war, they were able to enjoy temporary peace. Only Meixiang was listening carefully by the bed. She couldn't sleep, nor could she wait any longer. She tossed and turned, just wanting to finish it quickly so as not to be distracted by the sound. If the lady is not capable of a long battle, why not use me as a substitute? There are also some benefits. Yunke thought it was inconvenient to fight in the boat, and Jiangying was a new virgin, so it was difficult for her to advance or retreat, so he stopped after one or two watches.

The next day, the boat was set out very early in the morning. The morning fog was thick and it was impossible to tell the front from the back. Just as they were about to set sail, a boat suddenly came in front of them. Because they were caught in the fog and could not pay attention, their bow hit the other boat and broke it. Three or four men stood up in that boat and first grabbed the boatman and started beating him.

Yunke didn't know why, so he came out of the cabin and said, "Don't fight. If you damage the boat, I will pay for the repairs myself."

Who on the boat would care about you? They all came aboard, grabbed Yunke, looked inside the boat, and shouted, "I know this girl. Why are you here?"

Who do you think is the one who recognized Jiangying? I didn’t know that the person sitting on this boat was Jiangying’s elder brother. The ones who grabbed Yunke were Jiangying's family members. Because I had been in the countryside for a few days, I wanted to return home early and didn't want to run into Jiangying. The family members hurriedly informed Mr. Wu, who was frightened. He asked, "How could my sister go with this man?" Hearing Yunke's voice, he was horrified and thought, "Could he be a robber who robbed our house and took my sister away?" He quickly called the family members to tie up Yunke without caring whether he was good or bad.

Jiangying shouted from the boat, "Brother, stop making a fuss. I want to go there on my own. It has nothing to do with that person."

When Wu Da heard this, he knew it was an elopement, so he became even more furious and said, "If that's the case, where is my dignity in Yangzhou?" He asked his servants to search his boat to see what he had taken. The family took a gift box, unlocked it, and opened it, revealing silver all inside.

Wu cursed, "This thief stole a lot of money from my family!"

Just treat Yunke as a thief, which is a good strategy for everyone. On the one hand, he asked two servants to take his boat, drag Jiang Wu and Mei Xiang on board, and told them to send them to Master Wang's house and not to bring them home to make a fool of themselves. He and a few of his family members kidnapped Yunke and took him to Yangzhou Prefecture. Jiangying was crying and shouting, who would care about her? Only Yunke was so frightened that he was terrified and could not say a word.

When they entered Yangzhou City that night, Wu Da took out four hundred taels of silver from the box as travel expenses for the lawsuit. He only took the hundred taels of silver and the gift box and became a real thief. Yunke kept asking for the reason but he just wouldn't say anything. He also beat the boatman and shouted, "You boatmen are used to robbing others, do you know his name?"

The boatman replied, "Sir, calm down. I am a country boy. I am not like other speedboats. If I fly your flag, I am either catching thieves or committing thieves. Yesterday morning, I only saw the man saying that he wanted to take his family to Zhejiang and asked for my boat. I don't know anything else."

Wu Da was afraid that the boatman would implicate his sister's affairs, so he did not torture him. Instead, he directed all his anger at Yunke. When he arrived at the mansion, he presented a letter in his hand, but before he could finish writing, he was taken to the mansion by the servants. Wu Da beat the drum, and the prefect sat in the hall, and his subordinates surrounded him and went in.

Wu Da was a famous scholar in Yangzhou. He was familiar with most of the officials in the government hall. All of them helped him. He knelt down in front of the prefect and said, "I caught a thief this morning. I am bringing him to the court of Master Taigongzu and begging for his execution."

The prefect asked, "How did you catch him?"

Wu Dadao: "The student went to the countryside for business two days ago. This morning in the fog, a boat suddenly rammed the student's boat. When he tried to reason with him, he turned violent and beat up the student's family. The village gang was not convinced, so they seized the boat and searched for a box in the boat, which belonged to the student's family. There were 100 taels of silver in the box, all of which were from the student's family. It was real stolen goods. We quickly sent someone to his home, and as expected, he climbed over the wall last night and sneaked into the hole to steal. This is a trap that will expose him."

The prefect called Yunke forward and asked, "Are you really a thief?"

Zhao Yunke was young and had never worked in the government office in his life. Moreover, seeing that Wu was very eloquent, it was difficult for him to argue with him for the time being. Thinking about telling her sister's story and admitting the guilt first, she couldn't utter the words.

He just stepped forward and said, "My name is Zhao Qingxin, and I am also a student from Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang. This money is mine, but Mr. Wu is clearly trying to defraud me and falsely accuses me of being a thief. I hope that Master Gongzu will give me a telegram to help me."

The prefect asked, "You said you were a scholar from Qiantang. How can this prefecture investigate you? Is this box yours or the Wu family's?"

Wu Da stepped forward and testified: "This box was passed down from my grandfather, and there are marks inside. Isn't it real stolen goods?" He knew that he would have to share the box with his sister, so it was just right for him to testify. Sure enough, there was the Wu family seal in the box.

When the prefect saw him, he said, "The thief must be real. Let's take him to jail today. He said he was a scholar from Qiantang. We'll send a letter to Qiantang. If he is a scholar, let him apply to the Academy of Literature. If he is not a scholar, let him be beaten to death."

Yunke burst into tears and cried out that he was wronged. The constable dragged him to prison without any explanation. As Wu Da walked out of the mansion, he suddenly came up with a plan. I don't know how to control Zhao Yunke.

Chapter 7: Chen Zai's Omens, Qing Jue's Affection for the Evil Star, Hong Luan Diao Yan

Poetry says:

Clouds deceive the moonlight, fog deceives the clouds,

The wind is jealous of the willow branches and the rain is jealous of the flowers;

Even if I shed tears of self-pity,

Maybe I will finally believe that jade is flawless.

I dreamed at midnight when the cuckoo cried.

The magpie flies to the raft in August;

Don't think it's easy to be romantic.

Jinping was in a state of confusion.

Wu Da framed Yun Ke only for the sake of his reputation, so he committed such a vicious act. As soon as he left the government office, he began to complain, "Look at this thief, he looks like a gentleman. It's just that I've been in the countryside for a few days and didn't want my sister to do this. Fortunately, I didn't know the truth today and sent him to jail. I'll review him later and impose some punishment. If he confesses the truth, it will be bad for my dignity. If he hears that the government branch has moved to Qiantang and he is indeed a scholar, I will give him some leniency. But it's not right to make him an enemy in the future."

After thinking it over again and again, he suddenly realized, "Why not give some silver and file the petition in the mansion? Don't try it again. Just tell the gatekeepers not to send food to the thief. After a day or two, he will naturally starve to death. Who can tell the truth? I can save my reputation secretly. Isn't that thoughtful?"

Dear readers, with Wu Da's scheme, even if he were a living god, he would find it difficult to save Zhao Yunke. He is about to starve to death. Not to mention the endless regrets that the two young ladies and Hui Niang will have in the future, even if I were a novelist, what could I do next? If Yunke really wanted to step forward, it would not be the prefect who saved him, but the ghosts and gods who saved him, so as to avoid this disaster. But those two items were not affected at all. Exactly:

Catching a turtle in a jar, his life hangs in the balance.

I had no choice but to leave Zhao Yunke aside for the time being and let him starve to death. Let me tell you about Miss Wu’s return home.

However, Miss Jiangying was caught by her brother, and her family sent her to the palace. He insulted himself for the twists and turns of fate, which implicated Yunke and brought misfortune upon himself, making innocent people suffer. She had not eaten for a day and cried until her hands were numb and her eyes were dark. She gradually arrived at the Wang family's mansion, and the family called a sedan chair and invited the young lady to come ashore.

Jiangying endured the shame and got on the sedan chair, followed Meixiang, and entered the Wang family's house. The family informed that Miss Wu had arrived. Madam and Miss came to greet her in person. Seeing that Jiangying looked haggard, Madam said, "Miss, you look sad. Are you having some trouble with your sister-in-law at home? Come into the room and have some tea."

Yuhuan walked into the room hand in hand and asked with a smile, "Sister, what are you upset about coming home?

Jiangying just lowered her head and said nothing. Yuhuan did not dare to ask any more questions, so she called the maid to prepare dinner quickly and waited until Xiao came to ask him in detail. She thought to herself, "I don't know if my affairs have been taken care of?" Meixiang asked Jiangying privately, but she did not dare to say it directly. Her answers were vague and unclear.

At night, silver candles were burning brightly, the sparse curtains were dimly lit, and dinner was arranged. The two young ladies just acted as if they were having a normal conversation. Yuhuan urged them to drink again and again, and Jiangying just touched her lips. After dinner, the maid came out of the room and the two sat close together.

Miss Yuhuan said, "Sister, please take your time to talk. I just want to ask you how it happened yesterday."

At this time, Jiangying couldn't hide it, so she had to make it clear. The way he said was, "Sister, you don't know that I have caused so much trouble today, and it will also implicate you. What can you do?"

Yuhuan said, "Could it be that Zhao Lang was exposed, and he didn't say goodbye? It's okay not to give him five hundred gold coins, but I'd better let him know what I said to you the other day."

Jiangying told him in detail what happened when she followed him privately and ran into her elder brother. He then said, "I was afraid that if I came alone to marry you, I would have nowhere to go, so I wanted to go with him first. Who would have thought that such a disaster would be caused by me. Fortunately, nothing about my sister's affairs was leaked. But Zhao Lang was framed by my brother, and I don't know where he is now?"

Yuhuan was shocked when she heard this, but she had an idea. She said to Jiangying, "Since this matter is not going well, I was the one who asked you to go the other day, so I don't blame you. For now, we just need to find out about Zhao Lang's news, and then we can act accordingly."

Jiang Ying said, "I don't care about my dignity now. I have to go home in a day or two and talk things out with my brother. If he wants to harm Zhao Lang, I will let him go and see how he will deal with me."

The young lady said, "Don't be hasty. Send Meixiang back tomorrow and find out more about it before making any decisions."

This paragraph is also a private conversation. I just wonder if Zhao Yunke’s savior has fallen into the underworld? Wu Da returned home and slept all night without saying anything else.

The next morning, after he had his meal, he took a few taels of silver with him. He sent twenty taels to the government office, wrote down the application, and gave four taels to the jailer, not allowing him to buy food. He said that he would report his illness to the prefect after three or four days. He also gave three or four taels of silver to the government errand boy to compensate him for his help yesterday. He said that he had done a good job, and after finishing the government expenses, he went to his friend's house to do other things. Since Zhao Yunke entered the prison last night, the jailer demanded fees, the constable demanded silver, and the jailer demanded a meeting fee. All his clothes were stripped off. The suffering at night is beyond words.

By the afternoon of the next day, there was still no food. I am in a foreign country with no relatives to take care of me. I thought I was destined to be a wronged ghost in a foreign land. Who knew that the auspicious star Red Luan would suddenly shine. There was a prison officer in Yangzhou Prefecture named Qin Hengshi, also known as Chengshu. He was originally from the tribute academy of Wuchang Prefecture in Huguang. Although he was a prison guard, he attached great importance to literature in his daily life. A concubine gave birth to two sons, one of whom went to school in Yangzhou Prefecture, and the other was still young and studied in the yamen. His grandmother had a daughter named Sunu. Because his mother observed the fast and chanted Buddhist scriptures day and night and only gave birth to this one daughter, she was named Sunu. Su Nu grew up and was proficient in books and history. He changed his name to Su Qing at the age of eighteen. Talented, charming, handsome and extraordinary.

Qin Chengshu went to the prison in person today to check on the prisoners, which was the old rule. As a prison officer, I often have to check in the prison. The prisoners were called out one by one, and when it was Zhao Yunke's turn, the officer said, "That man has just arrived at the prison, and we haven't seen him yet." It must be that the prison officer had some routine procedures for prisoners entering the prison, so he said this. Seeing Zhao Yunke, a handsome man, naked and listening, he asked, "Who are you? What crime have you committed that has landed you in prison?"

Yunke knelt down and complained, "Student Zhao Qingxin was originally a student from Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture. His family is also well-known, with a few thousand acres of property. The day before yesterday, I went to Yangzhou for something, and brought some money to buy a gift box on the street. I didn't expect it to belong to the family of Wu Xiucai in the prefecture. Yesterday morning, I was sailing back in the fog and wrecked Wu Xiucai's boat. He was beaten by several of his servants. When they saw that the student was buying some goods in the boat, they suddenly had bad intentions. In the name of the gift box, they wrongly accused the student of being a thief and robbed all the luggage and goods. Parents, please take a closer look. How can the student be a thief in this state? The prefect did not investigate carefully, and the officials in the hall were all Wu's wings, so they pushed him to prison. The student's hometown is far away, and there is no place to complain. I hope the master will be merciful and save the student."

Seeing his face and his earnest grievances, Qin Chengshu felt compassion for him and said, "Since this is the case, we will investigate it tomorrow and we will know the answer. I cannot make a decision today. But seeing your pleadings, you are indeed a man of letters. I will let you go and let you stay in the yamen for a few days. We will deal with you after the investigation is completed."

The guard was employed by the Wu family and reported, "This is an important prisoner of our master. He cannot be released. He will be put on the bed at night. Master, please do not protect him easily."

Qin Chengshu shouted, "Even if he is a prisoner sent to prison by the magistrate, he is only guilty of theft, not of capital punishment. Why are you trying to stop him like this?" The jailer did not dare to stop him and let the prison officer lead Yunke to the yamen.

It turned out that Qin Chengshu was most afraid of his grandmother. His grandmother was a Buddhist and would not allow him to have any bad intentions. Because her eldest son was in school, she respected scholars and said to Yunke, "My son has a young son. Since you are a scholar, you can talk to my son about history."

As soon as he arrived at the yamen, he gave Yunke some clothes to wear and asked him to live in a study and teach. Provide him with three meals a day. Because Yunke was a prisoner, he always locked the study door and gave the key to his grandmother. The eldest son went out to organize a release of animals party with his friends in the mansion. Each person saved up three cents a day, and on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, they collected the money and bought fish and shrimps and other things, and released them into the water to accumulate good karma. This was also his grandmother's idea of ​​respecting Buddha. When I returned to the yamen that evening, I heard that my father had protected a gentleman thief who was teaching his brothers in the study. So I went to the study to meet him and talked about poetry and books. Yunke spoke eloquently and no matter how much you asked him, he would get nothing wrong.

The eldest son deliberately wanted to test his talent, so he said to Yunke: "Today I am going to hold a release party, and all my friends are asked to write poems to record the event. I am not good at it, so I would like to ask you to write one for me. I wonder if it is possible?" Yunke humbly inked a stick of incense, picked up the pen and started writing. He immediately wrote a poem about releasing animals:

All creatures in the world are in trouble, and fish and shrimp are lucky enough to have a safe place to swim;

The corrupt scholar only untied the Tang net, who in the world can ask the Chu prisoner.

If the evil of insects is not eradicated, there will be disasters; if the storm is difficult to stop, there will be worries;

When releasing two carp, don't let them go, for they may turn around when they reach Dragon Gate.

When the eldest son saw the poem, he was amazed and went inside to say to his parents, "The prisoner in the study is indeed a man of great literary talent and outstanding appearance. He will surely be successful in the future. It's just that Mr. Wu has wronged him, which is pitiful." The younger sister Su Qing heard her brother talking in the room and wanted to go and see him too. On the next day, Cheng Shu went out to the yamen to handle some business, and the two sons went out to play.

There was no one in the yamen, so Suqing and her mother walked to the study, partly to stroll around and partly to see the prisoner in the study. After looking through the crack in the door for a while, I saw Yunke, a handsome man with a book in his hand, reciting a poem:

Because of his greed for Nongyu, he became Qin's son-in-law, and wore a Confucian cap to study with the prisoners of Chu.

Su Qing was quite knowledgeable in poetry and literature. When she heard Yunke reciting the poem, she became a little puzzled and thought, "People have accused him of being a thief, but he doesn't look like a thief. The poem he recited is a little strange. Could it be that he is a talented and romantic man who came here? There is something wrong with the woman's face, and someone may have deliberately harmed him. Let's go and test him at night without telling our mother. If he is really wronged, tell my father and try to save him. It will definitely benefit us in the future."

Why do you think Su Qing suddenly had such a strange idea? It turned out that Qin Suqing had been a chivalrous person since childhood, and she often said, "Although I am a woman, I will never learn from those vulgar women, but will focus on the affairs of husband, wife and children." She used the water to hit the cotton ball, saved the dying minister from starvation, added jade to the meal, and recognized the young master when he was on the run. Even his parents, brothers, men and women in the family all respected him, thinking that he was a man among women and did not take his daughter's temperament seriously. If he wants to see people, then let him see people; if he wants to play, then let him play.

Su Qing also had a strong sense of pride. When he met mediocre people, no matter how rich and powerful they were, he would not hide his feelings at all.

That night, there was no one in the yamen. My mother was praying in front of the Buddha again, and she secretly took the key and opened the study door. Yunke suddenly saw a woman with extraordinary grace who came in unexpectedly and frightened him. It was just because I had been through some hardships in prison recently and the matter was not cleaned up yet, so I didn't dare to mention those romantic feelings. When he saw Su Qing, he stood with his hands clasped.

Su Qing asked, "What kind of family are you from, sir? Why are you detained here for breaking the law?"

Yunke pleaded, "I have not yet judged who my sister is. I cannot explain my injustice in words."

Su Qing said, "I am the daughter of this yamen master, my name is Qin Su Qing, and I have a chivalrous spirit. Sir, if you have something to say, you may as well speak directly. I will talk to my father and rescue you. Judging from your temperament, you are definitely not a thief. Why did his family wrongly accuse you of being a thief? I think you have some womanly affairs, and someone is trying to harm you?"

Yunke said, "That's not the case. I don't even have a wife at home, so how could there be any bad things happening outside?"

He only repeated what he had said in prison against Qin Chengshu. Su Qing said, "This is not difficult. I will discuss with my father and find a way to get you out. But I have something to tell you. I have always been straightforward and I say what I want to say. I am not like the women in the world who have affairs secretly and have to say something to clear themselves before getting married. Since you have no wife and have been wronged, it seems that there is some fate for you to come here. If you can clear this injustice and become rich in the future, please do not forget me."

Yunke was courteous and polite, but he was trying to get away and keep Miss Yuhuan's appointment, so how could he have the time to bother with Suqing? Who would have thought that not bothering Su Qing was actually exactly what Su Qing wanted. Su Qing still locked the study and walked inside. He thought to himself secretly, "That man is talented, handsome, polite and affectionate. He is not like the vulgar people in the world who show a thief-like attitude when they see a girl. What my brother said must be true." He left the room secretly that night and went to Yunke Bookstore.

It turned out that everyone at home was afraid of Su Qing and no one dared to be on guard against him. Yunke sat until the end of the night and met Suqing, and he was no longer the same as before. Holding hands, he thanked her and said, "I am Zhao Yunke. I am so lucky to have Miss take notice of me in my difficult times. I wonder how I can repay you in the future. If I can escape from your trap and find my love, all my life's kindness will be bestowed upon me by Miss."

Su Qing was a straightforward and open-minded person. When she heard Yun Ke's words, she naturally fell in love with him and trusted him wholeheartedly. She even understood the word "marriage" very literally. As the old saying goes, "One night of marriage means a hundred nights of love." He is like a thought that cannot be let go for a thousand nights. The love for the moon meets the love for the flowers. I think Zhao Yunke grew jade in Guangling City in his previous life. Therefore, all you meet are beautiful women, and you must be deeply indebted to them, and you will have a way to repay them. But let’s see what happens the day after tomorrow? Stay tuned for the next confession.

Comment:

Those who have always written novels have gone through some hardships and naturally say a few words of Taoism. Tao is to steal a woman, and the future consequences will definitely be unhappy. Why did he like delicious food? He later became stinky and rotten, and it made people see it, and he was just bored. In the past, Tang Linchuan prefaced the Peony Pavilion, he said that he was not a good person and always used reason to be consistent. What is the truth that must be without, how can we know what is necessary? What a purpose is enough to study medicine.

Chapter 8: Going to the Capital as a Solitary Guest and Leaving Yangzhou

Poetry says:

Last night, the slump of clouds sent me sorrow, and the west wind blew up the autumn in the courtyard;

I don’t know that my husband is a guest in my dream, so I stay with you.

I hate whom I am idle in embroidering the curtain, and I am shocked to cry and lean on the tall building;

When will the broken mirror go to heaven? The head of the big knife.

However, it is said that the Grand Prince of Wu moved the traitors and became thieves, so he was a good plan. Two days later, he went to the prison gate in person and interrogated the banzi and said, "Is that thief Zhao dead yet?"

The banzi said to him, "I should do my best to bear the trust of my grandfather the day before yesterday. However, when I met the prison officer, Mr. Qin, I checked each offender, and was sentenced to the yamen by a set of function words named Zhao. We couldn't stop him, so we never served."

Wu Dadun was sweating coldly. When his daughter Su Qing heard it in the room, she walked out and said to her father, "The Wu family wants to bring the silver to the end, this matter will definitely be unfair. But even though her father does not accept his silver, how can he forbid others from accepting his silver? The life of Zhao's surname will be unsafe for a long time."

The old Qin and his wife nodded and said, "It's my daughter who said it's right."

Su Qing said, "Now it is better to take his money to calm his heart. It is better to avoid finding a way out. List the cottage tomorrow, and my father went to see the prefect and talked about this matter. He said, "Everyone outside knows that he is wronged, but Wu Xiucai must deal with him. He heard that his father, a famous wealthy family in Zhejiang, is really a scholar, and the old man should not be punished easily. If something happens later, there is something wrong with the government. "Even stealing is not a big deal, just ask the prefect to ask for a crime."

Qin Chengshu praised: "My daughter is very talented, and this is a very good word. I will go to the prefect to talk to the prefect tomorrow."

Even late that night, Su Qing thought that Zhao Lang would interrogate tomorrow. Although he asked his father for his words, it was unknown whether it was a disaster or a blessing. I'm afraid the Wu family has other evil plans and is uneasy. When everyone was asleep, they left the room and came to the library. When they met Yunke, they explained his father's words in detail and said, "Tomorrow's separation, we will not be able to judge whether it is good or bad. Even if my father seeks relief for you, I don't know what the master will think?"

When Yunke heard this, he said sadly: "There is such a dog official! The thief is also recruited at home, it's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!"

Even if I turned around and thought, "I have to spend money on this lawsuit now. If I listen to his interrogation, if he is like a prison officer, I will be inconvenient for the reversal. Moreover, it was the girl in the Wang family who sent Mei Xiang to check it out yesterday. It was just inquiries about the news about the thief. I must have been dealt with until I was clean."

This day, the silver will be exchanged for 100 taels, and the central government will send it to the prefect, and the punishment will be increased. He sent another 40 taels of silver to the prisoner Qin Chengshu, saying, "That thief is the enemy of Guardian Wu, please do not cover him." He sent another 10 taels of silver to the palace hall, asking him to do his best to be responsible for the punishment. I made an appointment to review tomorrow, and this period of trouble has come again.

Unexpectedly, Prison Officer Qin was a good person. When he saw the Wu family’s Yang family gave him silver, he went back to the yamen and said to his grandmother, "I don't know how much hatred the Zhao family has with the Wu family, so I will execute him. This morning, the Yang people will give me 40 taels of silver first and make an appointment to be reviewed tomorrow, and tell me not to cover it. Thinking about it, I am still like this, and I will not be able to do anything about another rich-loving master."

When grandma heard this, she cursed, "You are immortal! You must not ask for money for such unjust money. I have two men and one woman with you, but I want to make evil and descendants?"

He chanted Buddha's name and blamed him, which scared Lao Qin so much that he hugged Su Qing and cried, "The young man met the lady and said that he had a chance. He didn't want to be like this tomorrow, so he would definitely not be able to complete it. I am not willing to live up to my life and death, but I can't repay you for your kindness."

Seeing that he was suffering, Su Qing burst into tears and said, "Don't worry too much. If my father and the prefect explain it clearly, it is unknown. But there is a good faith, you must ask for a crime. If the crime is light, you can finish it quickly and return home. Don't stay for a long time. You will be plotted by the Wu family. If the crime is severe, you don't know where your body will go, how can you come to my house again? I will meet tonight and we will part."

The two of them cried with their heads in their arms. He said again, "If you leave the mansion tomorrow, you will be here for a while. I will pay you some money tonight." Sew ten taels of silver into your clothes and put it on with Yunke. He also ordered, "Take care of your body, so that you can do it later." Yun Ke choked and speechless. As soon as the fifth day of the day, Su Qing cried and did not go in. Yunke slept with his clothes.

I saw Juezao and knocked outside. It was a matter of asking Zhao Yunke for the trial. He needed to ask for money, like a wolf or a tiger. Qin Chengshu knew that he came out and planted him, and gave him two taels of silver, and asked him to take care of everything. The next morning, Qin Ya also left a toll and had a meal with Yunke. Cheng Shu personally sent Yunke to the mansion, but Wu Xiucai had been serving him for a long time. Qin Chengshu went to the palace and saw the prefect, he told him about this. The prefect had already had three doubts in his heart, and he saw the prison officer telling him the truth, saying that he would not be very majestic when he asked Yunke for a separation.

It turns out that this prefect is very good at treating officials. Because Qin Prison Officer was sincere on weekdays, he believed his words a little. After Cheng Shu reported it, the man immediately took Yunke to the court. The prefect shouted, "You are a thief, come quickly, so as to save you from punishment."

Yunke complained, "The student's crime has no evidence in the end. It's just a small box that was originally bought in front of the tiled shop. I don't know it was an item from the Wu family, and Sun Aiquan, who bought wine, was proof of it."

Because Yunke had no one to rely on him, he hoped to save his life by saying something to him. Unexpectedly, the prefect had to deal with each other. After taking care of the Wu family, he was reluctant to let go of the prison officer's affection, and made a foolish plan. No one called him, and said, "Your thief's love is true. I miss you, you are far away from home, and now you don't need to be punished. According to the law, you will be a full disciple with Yanshan for any traitor.

Another policeman named Sun Hu, who was sent to Beijing from now on. If it was too late, the police would be punished with 30 responsibilities. Without saying a word, he sent a document to be escorted. Wu Xiucai also asked the prefect to add some punishment, but was rushed down by everyone.

Yunke thanked Qin Chengshu at the mansion. Cheng Shu returned to the yamen and Shu and his grandmother knew, "Although I was a member of the post office, I finally lost my words and never used any punishment. It was considered as the prefect's love." Sun Hu, the officer, took Yunke, and even packed his luggage and got up.

Who do you think this tolerance is? It turns out that Sun Hu is Sun Feihu, the son of Sun Aiquan. When Yunke saw Aiquan, he complained and hated. Aiquan and his wife suddenly heard about this and became depressed. They said that they would not be wronged by officials, so my son would take some money to go out. Hui Niang was inside, and when she heard that Yun Ke had something to do, she was like lifting her body in cold water, and she had no choice. He had to face to face at night.

Because Yunke recognized it, it was not easy to ask for the expenses, Sun Hu asked Yunke to his father to favor him, and went out to borrow money from his friends. He said, "Official Zhao lives here. I will go out to replenish some money. I will come back tomorrow morning and I will go with you."

When Sun Aiquan saw that Yunke was a resolute criminal, it had some connections. Secondly, he was afraid that someone from the Wu family would come to spy on him, so he caught Luo Yunke and lived in the back room, just in time to communicate with Huiniang. After an update that night, Hui Niang looked for Yunke to come and see him. The two met, but didn't say anything, they held hands first and cried for a while.

Hui Niang asked, "I haven't seen you come for a few days, but I just thought that you are serious. I don't want to do this, and I will tell you the reason for the crime."

Yunke told his true feelings in detail, but he never said a word, but burst into tears and said, "Since he left you the day before yesterday, he met Miss Wang. He inherited his whole heart and his fate was tight enough. Who would have thought that there was another lady named Wu and named Jiangying. He would first follow me to the home, and then look for a matchmaker to hire Miss Wang. I think my blessings are limited, and I can't be a good person. As soon as I left the city, I woke up early the next day and was hitting Miss Wu's elder brother. He was told by the prefect of Wu and tried every possible way to defeat my life. Fortunately, I met a prison officer, Qin Chengshu, who was rescued from his background and was able to live a lifetime. Now I have to go to Beijing, I don't know what the road is on? If my sister does not forget her old love and stays for a year or two, if there is a day to go home, I will definitely come to find you and will never let me down."

Hui Niang said, "Where is Wu Jiangying now? He was hurt by him. Do he still think of you?"

Yunke said, "I heard that he originally lived in the Wang family's mansion. These two ladies cannot see each other again in this life."

Hui Niang said, "You should consider it yourself less. It's already like this, so you have to go up patiently. I stay at home for you and will not change my original intention. I also have to take advantage of the situation and ask for information about the Wang family for you to see how he thinks? But such a wealthy family is not as good as us, and it is not easy to speak. If there are other parents outside, you have to be ulterior motives and wait for you again? You don't have to worry about the ladies of these two families in the future."

Although Hui Niang's words were indeed difficult to express, he was originally himself and occupied some point, so he gave this advice. At the fifth update that night, the two parted, their eyes were sad and sad, and they could not tell.

Sun Hu was looking for money, and Tianming went home. While cooking and cleaning, he said to his father, "As soon as I arrived in Beijing, I asked for criticism, and then turned around. You are more patient in everything at home." Then he tidied up with Yunke, went out, and went forward.

Yunke burst into tears and looked back. It's just that he has a little sincerity and cares about everything, and he doesn't regret it when he chases the lake. I only say that there is love and fate, but there is no hatred even if I die. The birds sing and the flowers fell along the way, and the water and the mountains were green, which was nothing more than helping him mourn. A poem about "Talking My Heart" is written on one's own thoughts:

The outside of Guangling City complained about separation and looked back at the clouds;

The ruler conveys the heart, where is the word geese that is more than a tall building?

I can't bear to reorganize the youth travel, hate the romantic and all kinds of love;

Four kinds of kindness, a new sorrow.

Yunke was sent to Beijing to see that he had left the Yangzhou realm. He thought to himself, "I have been in Beijing for only three years. As long as I have more money, I will have a day to make a comeback. I just don't know what Jiangying will do when she returns to the Wang family? It's Miss Yuhuan. I saw him telling him the day before yesterday that I was not a heartless person. I am alone, Lai Huiniang was dealing with me in front of me, but later, I was relieved of Suqing's rescue. Even if I was reluctant to find a letter from my family, I sent it to Qiantang to tell my parents that I would raise some money and get some money to replenish it in the capital, and I would have to get out and recover. But first, there is no smart person, and I will protect me in front of my parents. Secondly, I am afraid that my parents will not be able to do anything to compete with him. I will also sleep in the open and go to Beijing, either to borrow some debts from Beijing, or to ask for a noble person, to appeal for grievances, and then make a reason."

This section is the sorrow of Yunke's separation. There are also two ladies who secretly miss each other, but they don’t know what to ask for, they don’t know what to ask for, and they don’t know what to ask for, and they don’t know how to make a brilliant pearl and reunite. They don’t know that they just think that it’s hard to accomplish. Exactly:

There are endless sad things in the dream, and the parrot dares not speak in front of it.

Comment:

What is the meaning of this novel? Why is it that the viewer may not realize? At the beginning, when I met Hui Niang, Sun Hu explained it. Sun Hu explained it, and the next chapter was revealed. He was succeeded by Su Qing and Qin Chengshu to save him. Cheng Shu saved him, and the opportunity of the eleventh chapter and the second chapter has emerged. If you make others catch the pen, you will be able to spend a lot of effort when you are about to solve it. But in this light, I feel that the boat is flowing along with the water, and there is no obstacle, so there is no need to Johnson and Johnson. If the front and back are threaded together, this is the realm of the literary family. The clump of the knot has been completed and opened in the previous section, and the back waves are turbulent. The matter of Yunke in Guangling City has been completed, and it will only be completed step by step, so we have to discuss it here. The author has his own efforts, but the person who reads is fortunately not neglected.
