Feng Zhiren rubbed his hands, smiled casually, and said, "It's enough to make it clear!" As long as Zhongcheng has popularity, there is no flower for a child. I really don't know what the market of the feudal officials is. My fellow villager Liu Blind donated a fellow acquaintance, donated only 300 taels of silver, and voted for the Ming Xiang Gate, with 1,007 door bags and 5,000 officials, and 8,000 in the hands of the Ming Xiang, so he put a real shortage of prefects. Jiangxi Liu Ruben, with 1,500 taels of gold to play a Buddha to send Suo Zhongtang as a birthday gift, the ticket is intended to be awarded Huaixi Salt Road. There is also a cousin of mine, Xu Qiuren, who entered Beijing in the middle of the month, and I heard that he brought 50,000 ...... This is actually the same as doing business, the buyer is willing, the seller is willing, the price is the penny, the price is the same, and the child is not deceived! As he spoke, Jin Fu's face had changed color, he leaned back, and said with his neck twisted: "If that's the case, I don't have one!" I'm such a big official, I can't do that. This ten thousand five is just to buy peace, if it doesn't work, you have to let him be! ”

Just as he was saying this, the door boss walked in and said: "Zhongcheng, there is a young woman outside, with two children, who wants to see Zhongcheng - it is said that it is the family of Lord Li Anxi......" After saying that, his lips moved for a moment, and he stopped talking. Jin Fu was stunned when he heard this: Li Anxi is Li Guangdi, he only has a meeting relationship, and now he is a national minister, how can he entrust his wife and children to himself, and how can he not even seal the book and the name of the assassin, and the mother and son come to worship? He was puzzled in his heart, but he commanded: "What are you standing and stunned, please come in!" The chief bowed and agreed: "Yes...... But the three of them...... The slave really doesn't look like an official. The clothes were torn like flowers, and the shoes were blooming......"

Jin Fu stood up when he heard this, sat back again, and looked at Feng Zhiren a little at a loss. Feng Zhiren asked: "Didn't you tell her that Lord Jin didn't bring his family, so it was inconvenient to receive him, and he was going to leave his post and enter Beijing on the same day?" The chief hurriedly said: "Back to the words of the master, the slave said." She said that it was when she heard that Zhongcheng had entered Beijing, and asked Zhongcheng to read the same dynasty as the palace affection, take her mother and son together, and defect to Master Li, she was entangled in a penny...... "Jin Fu hesitated slightly, sighed and said: "In this case, please come in and see it." ”

In a moment, the chief came in with a young woman dressed in rags. When Jin Fu looked at it, she was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, picking her figure carefully, with two thin eight-character eyebrows on her face, and the tips of her eyebrows were slightly cheeky, although she looked haggard, her two eyes flickered and looked very energetic, and she pulled a child in one hand and came in, without waiting for Jin Fu to speak, she squatted for two blessings first, then knelt down, and said softly: "Concubine Li Xiuzhi knocked on Master Jin to see Master Jin......" Jin Fu helped him with his hand, and said: "Mrs. Zun, please get up, look at the seat, this is not daring, Lord Jin Qing is today's son Xingchen, Jin Fu relies on a lot." How does this make it? ”

"Back to the words of the adult," Li Xiuzhi sat down, took the tea handed over by the next person, and said with a red face, "This is a rite of course, the cheap concubine is not a ......good match for Jin Qing" As he spoke, he handed the tea to the child in his left hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Xingbang, you drink some, and then give it to ......the younger brother" The child took the tea and only drank half a sip before handing it to the child on the right, and said: "Xingguo, you drink ......" Xingguo was probably very thirsty, and took it and drank it to the bottom.

Feng Zhiren watched attentively. The two brothers are generally tall, generally dressed, and generally looked, about seven or eight years old, very similar to twin brothers, because they asked: "In Xia Feng Zhiren." Forgive me for being rude, and I dare not ask Mrs. Li why she has fallen to this point? Xiuzhi's eyes turned red, and she leaned over and said: "Our mother and son sold their fortunes, from Hangzhou to Anxi, Fujian, and traveled thousands of miles here. I heard that Mr. Jin is about to enter Beijing, and I would like to ask you to take us to Beijing to meet the light...... I can barely hold on, and the two children can't walk......" said him, tears falling early.

"Is there no one in the Anxi Li family?" Jin Fu asked in surprise.

"Some ......" Xiuzhi sobbed, her sleeves were already wet with tears, and she only kept her voice reserved, "...... They won't confess ......"

Jin Fu and Feng Zhiren quickly exchanged glances, Li Guangdi's family is a famous Fujian family, how can it be so unreasonable? Jin Fu sneered for a moment, and finally said, "How old are the two young sons this year, how could they be born in Hangzhou?" ”

"My lord, don't ask about it." Xiuzhi wiped away her tears and said, "If you suspect me of pretending to be an official, please punish you; If you believe, I will take me; If you don't want to bring it, that's it. I owe you this glass of water, and I will pay you back in the future. As he spoke, he got up.

The young woman spoke softly and softly, and said a few words lightly, but Jin Fu was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Please don't misunderstand, I don't suspect what you mean, if you really pretend to be an official, how dare you go to see Jin Qing with me?" Feng Zhiren had already called someone to come and ordered to clean up the house, arrange tea and dinner, and ask someone to go to the street to buy clothes for his wife.

"It's another embarrassing thing." When Xiuzhi and the others went out, Jin Fuchang took a breath and smiled at Feng Zhiren, "The Li family in Fujian doesn't recognize her, and Li Anxi doesn't recognize her, it's still between the two." I'm afraid there is something hidden here! ”

Feng Zhiren tapped the back of his hand with a fan and muttered: "This matter has long been clear, but she still protects Master Li and refuses to say it." During the period of mourning, Master Li actually had an affair with the woman in the Qinglou, the word 'Taoism',...... Alas! Jin Fu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly an ominous premonition hit his heart, and said: "In fact, the sin of mourning is secondary, abandoning flesh and blood, being unkind to the father, and it is even more scandalous." Li Guangdi is hot now, waiting to enter the study, how can he admit these two major crimes? He gasped. Feng Zhiren suddenly smiled and said, "Dong Weng is too worried, I think this is a strange commodity to live in." If you quietly cover up the past for Master Li in Beijing, I am afraid that this favor will be worth more than 10,000 silver. Dong Weng, Li Jinqing is the most proud of Suo Etu Zhongtang! ”

The next day, Jin Fu took Feng Zhiren and Xiuzhi's mother and son to set off. Because the silt of the Yellow River has long been cut off from the trough waterway, it is impossible to take a boat, so it is retrograde along the north embankment of the Yellow River to the west, and check the river conditions along the way. After Kaifeng, it folds to the north and enters the territory of Zhili. Jin Fu couldn't wait to enter Handan City, and came to the Linmingguan Post Station in Huangliang Mengbei to settle down.

After dinner, it was dark. Jin Fu wore a crimson robe and did not wear a gown, and walked out of the patio with Feng Zhiren. Seeing the brilliant lights around Huangliang Meng, half of the sky was bright, so he asked: "Zhiren, you have passed by since you rushed to the exam many times, and the bright front is shining, what is the place?" Before Feng Zhiren could answer, the doorman on duty at the post station smiled and said: "Lord Futai, if you want to leave tomorrow, the little one will go and take a look." That excitement is rare in the world! On April 4 of Ming'er, Huangliang Dream Race God, six seats were set up on the stage alone. Jin Fu nodded with a smile and said to Feng Zhiren: "Walk with me, just eat and drink!" ”

The two chatted and walked, and half a meal was in Huangliang Dream, which was really lively. There are thousands of fire candles in the temple and outside the temple, and hundreds of jars of sea lanterns are lit with egg-thick twists, which illuminate the surroundings. A team of stilts has people who play the eight immortals, some who play Guanyin, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and some who sing stories such as the West Chamber and the Peony Pavilion. Six big operas, three each in the east and west, singing together, the gongs and drums beat like a torrential rain. There were explosions of war, artillery and ping-pong, and it was impossible to hear what was being sung on the stage. The crowd at the bottom of the stage was pushed around. What sells melon seeds, sells sesame sugar, butter tea, sells wine, food and snacks, stalls, clusters, everything, and the gentleman who puts hexagrams and divination, and divination, and fortune-telling, shouts loudly and vigorously...... Feng Zhiren said with emotion: "Dong Weng, it seems that Confucius is difficult to compare with Taishang Laojun and Buddha!" I have also seen Qufu Festival Kong, where is there such pomp and circumstance, such a lively! ”

"The war is not over, and the peace and prosperity have been revealed." Jin Fu's mood was a little happier, "As long as you don't fight, the recovery will be very fast!" Zhiren, have you seen it? There is also a foreign goods store here, and such a big chiming clock is on the counter - Wei Dongting is really a person with a way! "That's right." Feng Zhiren said with a smile, "What was shipped out of the customs was silk, tea, and porcelain, which I had seen with my own eyes; The heap of silver on the returning ship, sea! With that, the two of them stepped into the back temple, and looked at the inscriptions of their predecessors along the wall by candlelight in the Shinto tablet corridor. There are those who praise Shinto, there are those who pray for blessings, and there are those who express their aspirations and complain. Jin Fuyin saw Gao Shiqi's criticism, and the word "dog fart" was used upside down, and laughed: "This surname Gao is really arrogant!" ”

"Qiantang is a famous talent, and it is inevitable that he will be high-minded and empty-eyed." Feng Zhiren smiled and said, "I heard that he criticized other people's articles and poems, probably only these three words. 'Dog fart' is a person's fart, occasionally for it;'Dog fart' is to blame his misconduct, Wen Shang is desirable' refers to a dog who specializes in farting, and blames his character and literary character......" He didn't finish speaking, Jin Fu couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "In short, it's all fart, but the advantages and disadvantages are subtle - oh, this Chen Huang's poem is interesting: 'I want to borrow a pillow from Mr.'." The words are also quite elegant - Chen Huang, this name is so familiar, I can't remember who it is anymore! ”

Feng Zhiren shook his fan and groaned for a long time, and said, "Chen Huang-Chen Tianyi!" The younger brother of Chen Shouzhong in Qiantang. Due to the lack of water, he couldn't help but play with water and tide in his family since he was a child, and he became a material! Zhongcheng must have forgotten that you have read his "Yangshui Edition", isn't it a reward for hitting the festival? Jin Fu sighed: "It turned out to be him!" It's a pity that I was unfortunate and ended up here! It's a pity to envy the ancients for a romantic dream - I just can't wait to see it! ”

"No," said someone behind him, "what do you two gentlemen have to say?" ”
