Chapter 57: The Entrusted

Previous Chapter

After the redemption of Yichun Courtyard, Du Shiniang followed Li Jia to leave Yanjing, and Liu Yuchun also accepted the foreign appointment.

On the way to Lin'an, the canopy boat was moored at the Guazhou ferry, and Du Siniang had been in Fanlong for a long time, and felt true freedom for the first time.

With a big gong and a long hammer, Shi Niang sang a cheerful Xipi Sanban facing the surging river: "Riding the breeze and breaking the blue waves is pleasing to the eye." ”

The river wind was rising, and Li Jia stood behind Shi Niang and sang: "Xi Chang'e doesn't want to linger on the beautiful scenery, and Zhang Chang's painting willow eyebrows will always be with you." ”

Gentle Township is a hero's mound, not to mention that the amorous Li Gongzi is not a hero in the first place, he has lived a drunken life in Yichun Courtyard for half a year, and his ambition has long been exhausted.

Although Shi Niang also likes him to be gentle and affectionate, and always clings to himself, he is a scholar after all, and he should go to the imperial examination to take the official career.

So, Shi Niang advised: "Oh, the eldest husband should have competed for the head of the boil, the title of the gold list, the son is so greedy for the boudoir, wouldn't he put Shi Niang in injustice?"

This time I went back to my home, and after I was settled, it would be better for my son to return to Yanjing to take the exam!"

Li Jia replied perfunctorily to Du Shi Niang: "Okay, okay, this matter depends on Shi Niang."

However, since leaving Yanjing, I haven't heard Shi Niang compose music for a long time, and now it's too early to park in the river at night, so I asked Shi Niang to sing a song to relieve the loneliness of the journey. ”

Shi Niang said with a straight face: "The son must not say such frivolous Meng Lang words to Shi Niang in the future, Shi Niang went out of Beijing with the son this time, and it was originally to take off the name of the prostitute." Now, Shi Niang is a person from a good family, and she really doesn't want to hear the word "playing and singing" anymore. ”

Li Jia didn't think so, and laughed softly at Shi Niang: "The boat is halfway down the river, there is no one around, why not?"

Du Shi Niang was sad in her heart: "Does the son still treat Shi Niang as a fireworks woman in his heart?"

Li Jia hurriedly flattered: "Shi Niang's words are serious, too serious! I didn't mean that first, since Shi Niang was unwilling, then it would be okay not to sing this song!"

Li Jia wanted to hold Shi Niang in his arms to appease him, but Shi Niang was still angry in her heart, gently pushed him away, got up and returned to the middle cabin.

At this time, the fans in the audience saw that the gap between Du Siniang and Li Jia gradually emerged.

"Shi Niang is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and her self-esteem is extremely strong, and this Li Jia is feminine and soft, and he is very stubborn, so he is really not a good match. ”

"Alas, Mr. Liu, it's a pity!"

……

Meng Ya secretly said in her heart that it was not good, this play seemed to be going in the direction of tragedy.

When I think of the lonely soul in the river at the beginning, isn't this the burial place of Shi Niang?

Li Jia saw that Shi Niang was still not angry, and he did not follow him to the middle cabin, and stood alone on the bow deck.

The river flowed slowly, and the two boats crossed in the same direction, and Sun Fu, the rich man, saw Li Jia on the bow of the boat, and exclaimed in surprise: "Yo, isn't this the first brother of the sage?

Li Jia raised his head and smiled when he heard this: "It turned out to be Brother Sun, Gan Xian has been away from home for more than half a year, thinking about his parents at home, this trip is about to return to his hometown, and Brother Sun is also going to Lin'an?"

Sun Fu nodded and smiled: "Yes, Sun went to Lin'an to do some small business." ”

In the flickering candle flame, Sun Fuyao saw a graceful shadow in Li Jia's canopy boat, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Xian, who is in the cabin?"

Li Jia's expression became very proud: "Brother Sun, the person in the cabin, also recognizes that the Oiran Du Shi Niang of Yichun Courtyard in Yanjing City, Shi Niang is now in the wife's room." ”

Hearing that Du Shi Niang married Li Jia as his wife, Sun Fu was jealous: "Yo he, Shi Niang, why did she marry you, brother, you are really a good fortune! ”

"Hahaha, what's so hard about that?"

Li Jia's expression became even more proud, and he turned around and shouted into the cabin: "Shi Niang, Brother Sun Fu is here, please come out of the cabin to meet you." ”

After a long time, Du Shi Niang's cold voice came from the cabin: "Alas, Shi Niang is now a good family, and she can't see the living." ”

Sun Fu immediately sneered: "Hey, look, she was like this half a year ago, and now, she is even more up."

Come on, don't see you.

Brother Xian, it is also fate for you and I to meet at this Guazhou ferry, the foolish brother prepared some wine and food in the cabin, come here, let's have a few drinks?"

Hearing Sun Fu's invitation, Li Jia was a little moved, and hurriedly reported to Shi Niang in the cabin.

When Sun Fu saw it, he laughed loudly and said, "Brother Xian is really filial!"

Ignoring Sun Fu's ridicule, Shi Niang only replied to Li Jia coldly: "Drink less, go early and return early." ”

Li Jia got on Sun Fu's boat, and the two drank and talked in the cabin, never leaving Du Shi Niang.

Listening to Li Jia tell about his life in Yanjing with Du Siniang for half a year, Sun Fu nodded and agreed: "Listening to Brother Xian, Brother Xian really loves this Du Siniang to the core, Brother Xian spent all the gold and silver he brought from Lin'an on her, and even in order to be able to accompany her all day long, he had no intention of taking the imperial examination."

However, Brother Xian is desperate for Nadu Shi Niang, but she may not be like this to you.

As far as Sun knows, the relationship between Du Siniang and Mr. Liu has always been unclear. ”

But isn't it, the one hundred and fifty gold that Shi Niang ransomed was still from Uncle Liu.

Li Jia had a thorn in his heart, picked up the wine glass, and still smiled reluctantly: "No, I believe in Shi Niang." ”

Seeing Li Jia's face, Sun Fu's eyes flashed, and he also smiled: "Hehe, it's okay if it won't be, it's okay if it won't be, come, continue drinking!"

After drinking a few more cups, Sun Fu said: "Brother Xian's acceptance of Du Shi Niang, do you know about it?"

Li Jia said truthfully: "I haven't given my father yet. ”

"Oh! Brother Xian, you are confused!"

Sun Fu pretended to be shocked: "Uncle is a prominent eunuch of the imperial court, he is an upright person, his family law is strict, he has no parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, marrying without telling him, there is already a big crime, not to mention that you are still married to the daughter of a prostitute, do you think your uncle can tolerate you?"

Li Jia ran: "This ......"

Sun Fu said again: "Brother Xian, I want you to come to the capital from Lin'an half a year ago to seek fame, and now, half a year has passed, you have spent all your money, but you are still a white body, when you return home, how will you explain to your uncle?"

Brother Xian, think about it, who caused all this?

It's this Du Shi Niang!"

"Ah, is it Shi Niang who mistook me?"

Li Jia's heart was shaken: "Brother Sun talked about it before the banquet, and every word touched my heart. It's ridiculous to complain for a while, and now I can't regret it. ”

Sun Fu laughed and said: "What do you say, you can't regret it now", as long as the virtuous brother can rein in the precipice, everything is still a brother. ”

Li Jia hurriedly asked, "What plan does Brother Sun have to teach me?"

Sun Fu smiled mysteriously: "I have a way, but are you willing to Du Shi Niang?"

Li Jiayi gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to do it." ”

"Okay, as long as the virtuous brother is willing to be beautiful, this matter is actually not difficult at all. ”

Sun Fu slapped the table, and said with a smile: "According to me, you shouldn't take Du Siniang back to Lin'an now, if you go back now, your uncle will not be able to tolerate you."

At this time, the first thing is your fame and future. You should leave Du Shi Niang, return to the capital alone, concentrate on studying and wait for Enke.

With your talents, it is not difficult to enter high school, and when the time comes, it can be regarded as an explanation to your uncle. ”

Li Jia sighed: "It is not easy to live in the capital, there is still a year before the next Enke, and I thought about returning to Lin'an because I couldn't live in Yanjing City because I was exhausted." Besides, if you return to Beijing alone, how will Shi Niang be resettled?"

"This Sun also thought about it for Brother Xian, I gave Brother Xian with a thousand gold, thinking that Brother Xian was entanglement in order to take the exam, as for Shi Niang, Brother Xian just sent her to Sun's house, and Sun would naturally help Brother Xian take care of Shi Niang. ”

Sun Fu finally said his purpose, and the fans in the audience and Li Jia in the play heard it.

Fans are waiting to see Li Jia's choice.

"A gift of gold?"

Hearing Sun Fu's words, Li Jia's eyes were blazing, but when he thought of his love with Shi Niang in the past, his face showed hesitation.

Sun Fu said demagogically again: "Brother Xian, Du Shi Niang is just a prostitute, and she will not be tolerated by her uncle." If you can exchange her for a thousand gold, when the time comes, what kind of wife and beautiful concubine do you want?"

Li Jia completely made up his mind.

Seeing that Li Jia accepted his own 1,000 taels, Sun Fu laughed and said: "Brother Xian, you go first, go back tonight and persuade Shi Niang, tomorrow morning, I will take Shi Niang home to take care of it." ”

Li Jia wanted to speak several times and stopped, hesitating and wanting to regret it, but after all, he couldn't give up the gold and silver.

Seeing Li Jia's choice, the audience immediately scolded.

"This Sun Fu is too scheming!"

"Li Jia is a real scumbag, obviously he is not strong-minded and has no intention of learning, but he also pushed everything to Shi Niang. If he really loves Shi Niang so much, he loves him so much that he can give up his career, how can he sell Shi Niang to Sun Fu?"

"Neither of these people are good things!"

"Now I can see that Mr. Liu is much better than this wolf-hearted Li Jia! Shi Niang should have been with Liu Yuchun in the first place. ”
