It is said that Shen Ziping woke up from sleep, and the red sun was already full of windows, so he got up in a hurry. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Huang Youzi doesn't know when he has gone. The old man sent hot water to wash his face, and sent a few plates and bowls of breakfast with a few stops. Ziping said: "Don't bother, thank you for my girl, I still have to hurry." Saying that, Aunt Yu had already come out and said, "Didn't Uncle Long say it yesterday, it's useless to go early, Liu Renfu can only go to Guandi Temple at noon, and it's not too late to go after dinner." ”

Ziping ate according to the words, sat down for a while, quit Aunt Yu, and went straight to the mountain set. Look at that episode, it's densely populated. Although there are not many shops, there are stalls on both sides, selling farm utensils and daily necessities in the countryside. After asking the villagers, I found the Guandi Temple. Sure enough, Liu Renfu had arrived, and after meeting and talking about the cold temperature, he took out the old man's letter.

Renfu took it and said: "In the coarse people, I don't understand the rules in the yamen, and my talent is short, I'm afraid that my brother will know how to know people, and he will always go." Because then Second Brother Jin brought a letter from Brother Tie, saying that he must call it, and he was afraid that the place where he lived would be difficult to walk and he would not be able to find it, so he was waiting to say goodbye here. Please ask Mr. Two to do everything on your behalf. It's not that I'm lazy, it's not that I'm afraid I'm incompetent, and I'm afraid that I'm wrong, so I want to forgive. Ziping said, "Don't be too modest. The brother was afraid that others would not move Mr., so he asked the younger brother to invite him sincerely. ”

Liu Renfu couldn't resign, so he had to arrange his own personal affairs and return to Chengwu with Shen Ziping. Shen Dongzao really treated him as a courtesy, and everything else was handled according to the instructions of the old and disabled. At the beginning, there were one or two thefts, but after a month, it reached the realm of "dogs never bark at night". That's not all.

One day, he walked to the south gate of Qihe County to look for a store, and saw that on the street, every inn was full, and he was surprised: "I have never been so lively here." What is the reason for this? He was hesitating, when he saw a person come in from outside the door, shouting, "Okay, okay!" It's almost through! It will be over in the morning of tomorrow! The old cripple didn't have time to visit, and he found a shopkeeper, and said, "Is there a house?" The shopkeeper said, "It's all full, please go to another house." The old cripple said, "I have gone two of them, and there is no house, so you can deal with one, no matter how bad it is." The shopkeeper said, "There's really no way here." In the store next door to the east, a group of customers left in the afternoon, you always hurry up, or it is not full. ”

The old cripple immediately went to the east side of the store, asked the store, and there were still two empty rooms, so he immediately moved his luggage in. The shopkeeper ran to get the washing water, took a burning incense stick and put it on the table, and said, "The guest smokes." The old man asked, "Why is it so lively here?" The shops are full. The shopkeeper said: "The north wind has been blowing for a few days, before the big hit, the river is flowing Ling, Ling has a big house, the ferry boat does not let go, I am afraid that if I meet Ling, the boat will break, to yesterday, Shangwan Ziling plugged in, this bay can go under the boat, but it was Ling on the riverside, and several ferries were frozen to death. Last night, Lord Li of Dongchang Mansion arrived, and he wanted to see Futai to reply, and when he walked here, he couldn't get by, and he was in a hurry, so he lived in the county yamen, and sent a river man and a local security guard to fight the cold. I've been playing for a day today, and I'll see if I can get through, but don't stop at night, and if I rest, I'm still frozen. You see, the inn is full, full of people who can't cross the river. Our store was full this morning. Because there was a group of customers, one of whom was an old man, who looked at the riverside for a long time, and said, 'The freeze can't be opened, so there is no need to die here, so we rushed to the mouth of the city to see if there was a way to think about it, and then make up our minds there.' 'I only drove there at noon, you are so good. Otherwise, there is really no house to live in. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went.

The old man washed his face, laid out his luggage, locked the door, and went out to the embankment to look, and saw that the Yellow River was coming down from the southwest, but it was a bay, and then he went due east, the river was not very wide, and the two banks were less than two miles apart. If we take the river water at this moment, it is only a hundred zhang wide, but the ice in front of it is overlapped, and it is seven or eight inches thick above the water surface. After looking upstream for one or two hundred steps, I saw that the ice on the upper slopes was still at a long price piece by piece, and when I came to this place, I was stopped by the one in front of me, and I stood still when I couldn't walk. The later ice caught up with him, only to squeeze the "sneer" price. The back ice was pressed tight by the water, and he ran to the front ice; The front ice was pressed and gradually lowered. Look at the body of the river is only 100 zhang wide, and the big slip is only about 20 or 30 zhang, and both sides are flat water. The flat water was already full of ice, but the ice was flat, covered with dust, but like sand. A big slip in the middle, but it was still galloping, loud and powerful, scurrying around the two sides of the ice that couldn't be walked. The ice on the flat water on both sides was crushed by the chaos of ice, and when they ran to the shore, the ice could be squeezed five or six feet away from the shore. A lot of crushed ice was squeezed to its feet, like a scream, an interstitial screen. After looking at the bell for a while, the ice in this section was squeezed to death again. The old remnant walked downstream, passed the original place, and then went down, only to see two boats. There were more than a dozen people on the boat who were holding wooden pestles to hit the ice, looking forward and then back. On the other side of the river, there were also two boats, which also fought like this. Seeing that the sky is getting dark, I plan to go back to the store. Looking at the willow trees on the embankment, the shadows of each tree have shone on the ground, shaking slightly, and it turns out that the moonlight has already released light.

When I returned to the store, I opened the door, called the shopkeeper to come, lit the lamp, had dinner, and went to the embankment to take a leisurely walk. At this time, the north wind has subsided, and who knows that the air conditioner is pressing, and it is more beneficial than when there is wind. Fortunately, the old cripple had already changed into the sheepskin robe given by Shen Dongzao, so it was not very cold and could still hold on. I saw the ice-boat, still fighting there. A small lantern was lit on each boat, and from a distance, it seemed that there were the words "Zhengtang" on one side and "Qihe County" on the other, and he went. Raise your head and look at the mountain to the south, a snow-white, reflecting the moonlight. The mountains are layered layer by layer, but they are not very distinguishable, and there are a few white clouds sandwiched in them, so it is impossible to tell whether it is a cloud or a mountain. When I looked at it intently, I saw that it was a cloud and a mountain. Although the clouds are also white, and the mountains are also white, and the clouds have light, and the mountains have light, because the moon is above the clouds and the clouds are under the moon, the light of the clouds shines through from the back. But the light on the mountain is reflected by the moonlight on the mountain, and is reflected by the snow on the mountain, so the light is two kinds. But only in the place where it was a little nearer, the mountain went eastward, and the farther it looked, and gradually the sky was white, and the mountains were white, and the clouds were white, and they could not tell what was coming.

Looking at the scenery of the snow and the moon, the old cripple remembered Xie Lingyun's poem, "The bright moon shines on the snow, and the north wind is strong and sad, two sentences." If you don't experience the bitter cold scene in the north, where is it good to know the word "mourning" of "the north wind is strong and mourning"? At this time, the moonlight was shining all over the ground, and when I raised my head, I couldn't see any of the stars in the sky, only the north, the Big Dipper, the sun and the light, like a few pale white dots, and I could see it clearly. The Beidou was leaning on the west side of Ziweiyuan, on top and below. I thought to myself: "The years are like flowing, and when I see that the dou ladle is pointing to the east again, people are about to add another year." If you continue to fool around like this year after year, how can it be a game? I thought of what the "Book of Songs" said, "There is a bucket in Weibei, and you can't use wine syrup." "——"Now that the country is in an eventful time, the princes and ministers are just afraid of delaying the punishment, more things are better than less things, and everything will be wasted, what kind of situation will it be in the future, the country is like this, why should the husband be at home!" Thinking of this place, I didn't feel tears dripping, and I didn't want to look at the scenery, so I slowly went back to the store. As I walked, I felt as if something was attached to my face, and when I touched it with my hand, it turned out that there were two slippery ice on both sides. At first, I didn't understand why, but when I remembered it, I laughed. It turned out to be the tears that had just been shed, and it was cold, and it was immediately frozen, and there must be a few ice beads in the ground. I went back to the store sullenly and went to sleep.

When I got up early the next day, I went back to the embankment to take a look, and saw that the two ice-beating boats were already frozen on the riverside. I asked the people on the side of the embankment, and I knew that I had fought in the middle of the night yesterday, and I went forward, and the back froze; Hit the back, and the front is frozen. So let's stop fighting today, and wait for the ice to be strong and get off the ice. This is the only way to trap this old and crippled. Idle, go to the city for a walk, only a few shops on the street, the rest of the back street, there are not many tiled houses, it is a desolate and desolate scene. Because most of the north is like this, it is not surprising to see it. Back in the room, open the book basket, take the book to read, but I have a copy of "Selected Poems of the Eight Generations", I remember that I cured a Hunan man in the provincial capital, and sent it to Xie Yi. Originally, it was a twenty-volume book: the first two volumes were four words, volumes 3 to 11 were five words, 12 to 14 were new style poems, 15 to 17 were miscellaneous words, 18 were movements, 19 were ballads, and 20 were miscellaneous works. Flipping through the details again, I saw that there were twenty-eight songs of Xie Wei and fourteen songs of Shen in the new body; In the ancient style, 54 poems by Xie Tao and 36 poems by Shen were selected, and I didn't understand it in my heart, so I took out the tenth volume and the twelve volumes together and looked at them, but I couldn't see the difference between the new style and the ancient style. I thought again: "This poem was selected by Wang Renqiu and Yan Yun, this person is famous for a while, and the book "Hunan Military Chronicles" is really good, and it is appreciated by all, why is this poem not so pleasant?" At the same time, he thought: "Shen Guiyu's "Ancient Poetry Source", which mixes that ballad with poetry, is also a serious illness; Wang Yuyang's "Selected Ancient Poems" cannot be taken seriously; It is still Zhang Hanfeng's "Ancient Poems" that is not satisfactory. I don't care what he does, and I just take the chanting of the ancients to dissipate my sorrows. ”

After watching it for a long time, I went back to the door of the store and stood idle. After standing for a while, Fang was about to go back, and saw a family member wearing a red tasseled hat, approached the front, beat a thousand children, and said, "Master Tie, when will you come?" The old man said, "I arrived yesterday." As he spoke, he couldn't remember whose family it was. When the family saw that the old man was ruined, they knew that they couldn't recognize it, so they smiled and said, "The family's name is Huang Sheng." On the top is Huang Yingtu, Master Huang. The old man said: "Oh! Yes, yes. My memory, it's so bad! I often go to your mansion, why don't I know you! Huang Sheng said: "You are always 'noble people forget things'." The old man smiled and said: "Although people are not expensive, there are a lot of things to forget." When did you get here? Where do you live? I'm also in a panic, talking to him. Huang Sheng said: "We are commissioned by the General Office Zhuang Daren, and I will buy eight million materials up and down the Qi River." Now the materials are also fully bought, and the acceptance committee has also accepted, and I am planning to go back to the province to sell poorly. The river has just been plugged in again, and we have to wait two days to get there. Do you always live in this shop? In that house? The old cripple pointed to the west with his hand, "It's in this west house." Huang Sheng said: "I also live in the north house of the upper house, and I only arrived the night before." I was working some time ago, but I lived here because the acceptance committee passed. At the moment it is lunch in the county; After eating, Master Li invited him to gossip, and he might not come back for dinner or not. The old remnant nodded, and Huang Sheng went.

It turned out that this person's name was Huang Yingtu, his name was Rui, he was in his thirties, and he was from Jiangxi. His brother transferred from Hanlin to the imperial history, and he was very good with the military aircraft Dalami, so this Huang Renrui donated a fellow acquaintance and came to Shandong River Works to serve. There are eight elements of military aircraft, and Futai is particularly careful, and seeing that the big case is played, he is a prefect. People are not very vulgar, when they were in the provincial capital, they also had a lot of contacts with the old and disabled, so they knew it.

The old man stood at the door of the store for a moment, and when he returned to the room, it was almost dusk. I went to the room and read half of the poem, but I couldn't see it, so I lit a candle. I heard someone come in at the door of the room, shouting: "Mend Weng, make up Weng!" It's been a long time! The old cripple hurriedly stood up and looked, it was Huang Renrui. After each other's talk, they sat down, and each talked about the aftermath.

Huang Renrui said: "Haven't you had dinner yet?" Although someone from there sent me a pot and a few plates, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat it, but I got up early and asked the cook to gargle a fat chicken with mushrooms, which can probably be eaten, please come to my house to eat. The ancients said: 'The most difficult enemy to come,' the boredom of this frozen river is more uncomfortable than wind and rain, and when friends meet, it is not lonely. Xi Lao said: "Very good, very good, there are delicacies, if you don't invite me, you also want to eat." Ren Rui looked at the book on the table, picked it up and saw that it was "Selected Poems of the Eight Generations", and said: "This poem is always well chosen." He also read a few songs casually, dropped them down and said, "Let's sit in that room." ”

So the two men came out. The old cripple straightened out the book, took a lock and locked the door, and followed Renrui to the upper room, and saw that there were three rooms: one in the inner room, and two in the bright room. A large tweed plywood curtain hung on the door of the hall, and a table of eight immortals was placed in the middle, and a lacquered cloth was spread on the table. Ren Rui asked, "Have you got the food?" The family said, "We have to wait a little while, the chickens are not very rotten." "Ren Rui Dao;" Let's grab a plate and eat the wine first. ”

The family went out in response, and in an instant, they turned around and set up the table, and placed four pairs of chopsticks and four wine glasses. The old cripple asked, "And that one?" Ren Rui said: "Stop for a while and you'll know." "The cups and chopsticks were placed, there were only two chairs, and I went out to find a chair. Ren Rui said: "Let's sit on the kang." "There is an earthen kang in the west of the Ming Dynasty, and the kang is covered with reed mats. In the middle of the kang, Renrui laid out a big tiger down blanket, on which a cigarette tray was placed, and two big wolf skin mattresses on both sides of the cigarette tray were lit with a bright Taigu lamp.

How is it called "Taigu Lamp"? Because Shanxi has the most rich people, but everyone eats tobacco, so the smoking utensils there are more exquisite than those in other provinces. Taigu is the name of a county, the lights in this county are good, the firepower is sufficient, the bald head is big, and he is the first in the five continents. It's a pity that if it is in China, if it is in Europe and the United States, the first person to make a lamp will definitely make a name for him in the newspapers, and the state will give him a patent certificate. Unfortunately, there is no such regulation in China, so the first person to make lamps in Taigu and the first person to make a fight in Nashou Prefecture can make utensils use, and his reputation is buried. Although the choice of technique is not correct, it can be known that the time will make it.

Without further ado. There were a few cloisonné boxes, two bamboo smoking guns, and two pillows on both sides in the cigarette tray. Ren Rui asked the old cripple to sit down, he lay down casually, took a cigarette stick, picked up the cigarette to burn, and said, "Supplement Weng, don't you still eat it?" In fact, if you lose your job when you eat such a thing, it is naturally not good; If you are not addicted, it is also a wonderful thing to have a casual pastime, so why should you refuse such a benefit? The old cripple said: "I have a lot of friends who eat cigarettes, and in order to beg him to become addicted, he didn't have any of them, they were all pastimes, so he went in." After becoming addicted, not only is it not enough for recreation, but it becomes an endless tire. I see that your brother is still not a pastime. Ren Rui said: "I have my own measure, and I can't be fooled by this." ”

As he spoke, he saw the curtain of the door ring, and two prostitutes entered: the first one was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a duck egg face; The first one was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a melon seed face. When I got in, I asked for two peace on the kang. Ren Rui said: "You are here? Asari pointed out: "This iron old man is a friend of my province. Cuihuan, you just serve the iron master and sit there. I saw that the seventeen or eighteen-year-old sat down next to Renrui on the edge of the kang. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old stood still, embarrassed to sit. The old cripple took off his shoes, moved to the side of the kang and sat cross-legged, so that he could sit well. He leaned sideways and sat down.

The old cripple said to Ren Rui: "I heard that there is no such thing here, how can I have it now?" Ren Rui said: "Otherwise, there is still no place here." The two sisters and sons were originally doing business in the plains twenty miles. His father and mother are from this city, and his mother lives with his sister and son in twenty miles. His father died the month before last, and his mother came back, because he was afraid that they would run away, so he brought it back and didn't go to the store here. I was so bored that I asked them to find it. This one is called Cuihua, and yours is called Cuihuan, both of them have snow-white skin, which is very cute. Look at his hand, make sure you agree. The old man laughed; Don't look, what you're saying is still wrong. ”

Cuihua leaned on Ren Rui and said to Cuihuan: "You burn a cigarette for Master Tie to eat." Ren Rui said: "Tie Ye doesn't eat cigarettes, you ask him to burn it for me." Then he handed the cigarette skewer to Cuihuan. Cuihuan bowed and burned a mouthful, got on the bucket, and handed it over. Renrui "hoohoo" price to eat. When Cuihuan was burned again, the family had already set up the plates and the pot, and said, "Please use wine, old man." ”

Ren Ruili stood up and said, "Let's have a drink, it's very cold today." So let the old cripple sit on it, sit opposite him, and ordered Cuihuan to sit on the upper horizontal head, and Cuihua to sit down on the horizontal head. Cuihua took the wine jug, added a little to everyone's wine, put down the wine jug, and held it up to lay the old crippled Lai. The old remnant said: "Please stop, no need for cloth." We are not brides, we will eat ourselves. Then I spread Huang Renrui's dishes. Ren Rui also made a dish for Cuihuan. Cuihuan hurriedly stood up and said, "Stop." "Another cloth for the green flowers. Cuihua said, "I'll eat it myself." He took it with a spoon, put it in his mouth, ate a little, and put it down. Renrui repeatedly asked Cuihuan to eat vegetables, but Cuihuan just agreed, but never did anything.

Ren Rui suddenly remembered, slapped the table, and said, "Yes, yes!" Then he shouted in a straight voice: "Come on! I saw a family member walk in outside the door curtain, six or seven feet away from the seat, standing on his feet, Ren Rui nodded, told him to go further, and then whispered two words in his ear. I saw that the family said in a loud voice: "Chirp, chirp." "I went back and went.

After a while, a man in a blue cloth jacket came in outside the door, holding two three-stringed seeds in his hand, one handed to Cuihua and the other to Cuihuan, and said to Cuihuan in his mouth: "Tell you to eat vegetables, and serve the old man well." Cuihuan didn't seem to hear clearly, and glanced at the man, who said, "Tell you to eat vegetables, don't you understand?" Cuihuan nodded, "Got it." At that time, he picked up chopsticks to cloth Huang Renrui's piece of ham, and sandwiched a piece of cloth for the old man. The old cripple said: "It's best not to use cloth." Ren Rui raised his glass and said, "Let's have a toast." Let the two sisters sing two songs, and we will drink. ”

Saying that, their three strings have been reconciled, and they sang a tune one by one, and Ren Rui used chopsticks to fish in a pot for a long time, and saw that there was nothing delicious, so he said: "The objects in this pot have logos, do you know?" The old man said, "I don't know." He pointed with his chopsticks and said, "This is called the shark fin that is 'angry and rushes to the crown', this is the sea cucumber that 'never returns', this is the chicken that is 'old and virtuous', this is the duck that is 'overly drunk', this is the elbow that 'resists arrest', and this is the soup that 'the heart is like water.'" They laughed for a while.

They had two sisters and sang two or three more tunes. The family brought their own chickens. The old man said: "The wine is enough, so let's eat it while it's hot." "The family brought in four meals. Cuihua stood up, took the rice bowl, sent it to everyone, soaked chicken soup, each had a full meal, after the meal, wiped his face, Renrui said: "Let's sit on the kang." The family came to remove the remnants, and all four of them went to sit on the kang. The old remnants are at the top, and the people are at the bottom. Cuihua fell into Ren Rui's arms and burned cigarettes for him. Cuihuan sat on the edge of the kang, had nothing to do, held the strings, and was stubborn.

Ren Rui said: "Old and disabled, I haven't seen your poems for a long time, and today I finally 'meet my old acquaintance in another country', you should also make a poem, let's read it." The old man said: "In the past two days, I saw the frozen river, and I really wanted to make poems, and I was making ideas there, and you were stirring up my poems into the 'over-drinking' duck!" Ren Rui said: "Don't 'resist arrest', I'm going to 'rush to the crown'!" With that, they laughed at each other. The old cripple said: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll write it to you tomorrow." Ren Rui said: "That's not good! You see, there is a big piece of new powder on this wall, which is prepared for you to write a poem. The old man shook his head and said, "I'll leave it to you." Ren Rui put the cigarette gun on the plate and said, "It's a little fleeting, can I help you!" So he got up, ran into the room, took out a pen, an inkstone, and an ingot of ink, put it on the table, and said, "Cuihuan, you come and sharpen the ink." Cuihuan really poured some cold tea and grinded the ink.

Suddenly, Cuihuan said: "The ink is ready, you can write." Ren Rui took a cloth duster and said, "Cuihua palm candle, Cuihuan holding inkstone, I'll dust it." Handing the pen to the old man, Cuihua held the candlestick, and Ren Rui jumped on the kang first, stood under a piece of new powder, and dusted off the ashes. Cuihua and Cuihuan also stood on the kang and stood on the left and right. Ren Rui beckoned: "Come, come, come!" The old man smiled and said, "You are really messy!" He also stood on the kang, dipped the pen in ink on the inkstone, and wrote crookedly on the wall. Cuihuan is afraid that the ink on the inkstone is frozen, and I can't stop it, the pen is still wrapped in fine ice, and the more I write, the fatter it gets. Write it in an instant, and see that it is:

The earth cracks the north wind, and the long ice covers the river. The back ice chases the front ice, and the Xiangling is complex and sub-phased. The meanders are easy

Plug, Saga silver bridge. The returnee sighed, and the passengers sighed. Yingying is in the water, and the car is not allowed

Drive. The brocade feast is a prostitute, and the night is miserable.

Ren Rui saw it and said, "Good poetry, good poetry!" Why don't you pay for it? The old remnant said: "Question Jiang Youhuang Renrui." Ren Rui said: "That's not necessary!" took on the name of being able to write poetry, and took the punishment of being dismissed from office by drinking with a prostitute, which is a bit uneconomical. The old cripple inscribed the word "mending the disabled" and jumped off the kang.

The Cuihuan sisters put down the inkstone candlestick, went to the brazier to dry their hands, and saw that the charcoal had been embered, so they took some raw charcoal and added it. The old remnant stood on the side of the kang, arched his hand to Huang Renrui, and said, "More disturbance, more disturbance!" I'm going back to my house and sleeping. Ren Rui grabbed him and said, "Not busy, not busy!" I have heard of an earth-shattering case today, in which infinite lives are at stake, and there are bizarre plots, and I am about to discuss with you, and I will return to my life as soon as it gets dark tomorrow. You wait for me to take two puffs of cigarettes, grow your spirits, and tell you. The old cripple had to sit down. I don't know what kind of case it is, and I'll listen to the next breakdown.
