1.47 Tears of the Grace

In the cold winter, the spring of this Lichun courtyard can't be beautiful. Because there is no business, the Li family, young and old, are hiding in the house, and suddenly they hear someone knocking on the door, and all the men and women are looking at each other, and it is almost time for the New Year, but which amorous one still wants to plant crookedly in the hook fence?

Li Ming, the son of the old bustard Mama Li, went to answer the door. Mama Li glanced at Li Jiao'er coldly, turned her head and said to Li Guiqing with a false smile: "Guiqing is my good daughter in the end, it has only been a few days since the lantern was hung out, and she is so fascinated that those plague students have to send copper coins to our family for the New Year!" ”

Li Jiao'er lowered her head, her heart like a thorn. Since the death of the Ximen official, the guests who came to have fun were afraid of angering the big insect of Ximenqing, so they didn't dare to come to her, and Li Jiaoer cut off business here. Later, a Chen Xiaoguan finally came from Tokyo to name himself, but he was debunked afterwards, but this person was the son-in-law of the Ximen official! Although it is not uncommon for people to pick up Lao Tzu at the front door and send their son at the back door, for Li Jiaoer, this shame is not trivial.

These days, she has endured the white eyes of the old bustard, if Mama Li was worried that the Ximen Star Lord would come to the door one day and be polite to her, now even the three points of politeness of this zuihou have disappeared. Li Jiao'er has been kicked out of the big room where she used to live and rushed to a dark and cold room, her bright clothes and delicate flowers have all been taken away by the old bustard, and they are all decorated on her sister Gui Qing's body. Now counting nine cold days, the dresses on her body are still thin.

If it weren't for her sister Gui Qing secretly pitied her and took care of her carefully, I was afraid that the evil old bustard would have done something even more unkind.

When the old bustard was sneering, Li Jiaoer held back tears and hung her head, and when Li Guiqing's lips were cold, she heard Li Ming at the gate exclaiming: "Who should I be?" It turned out to be a big official of Simon! Ahh With such a heavy snowfall, the small one was late, but it made the Ximen officials wait for a long time! Forgiveness! Forgiveness! ”

This Li Ming drank a loud voice like a donkey, obviously to deliver a letter to the old bustard in the house. When the old bustard heard the words "Ximen Daguanren", he was happy and afraid for a while. The good thing is that if Simon's official came to the prostitution house, with his character in the past, the reward will naturally be a lot of money, and this year can have a good year; I'm afraid that if he investigates the matter of Chen Xiaoguan'er, what should he do? If you are beaten and scolded, it doesn't matter, if the Ximen official is angry and walks away, won't this plague make money?

Suddenly seeing Li Jiaoer's cloth dress and skirt, like a rough girl, the old bustard put on a smile that couldn't be scraped by a knife, pushed Gui Qing and said, "You kid, you don't have any eyesight!" When the official of Simon came, why don't you bring your sister to your room and dress up and prepare? ”

opened a sheet in the direction of the gate, turned around and hugged Li Jiaoer's waist intimately and said with a smile: "I have been conditioned by my grandmother for a few days, and my waist has become thinner. Good daughter, don't stand in a daze, hurry upstairs to change makeup! ”

While talking and laughing, he drove Li Jiaoer and Li Guiqing sisters upstairs like rabbits.

Li Guiqing saw that the old bustard was thrown out like a fire to greet the God of Wealth, and spit on the back with all his strength, and scolded hatefully: "Dead the evil old pious woman who plucked out her tongue and went to hell!" There is also a face that says that my sister's waist is thin! It's clear that you've been detained by you these days, you can't even eat, and you're hungry and thin! But now you still dare to make an ugly show? There is no one in the world more shameless than you except those corrupt officials! I'm whoa, whoa, whoa! While scolding, he helped Li Jiaoer into his room.

Gui Qing's room is actually Li Jiaoer's room in the past, but now the owner has changed. Gui Qing quickly picked out Li Jiaoer's former clothes and flowers and returned them to her, while urging Li Jiaoer to dress up quickly.

Li Jiao'er looked at her dim shadow in the mirror, suddenly burst into tears, and choked up: "But what face do you want me to take to see him?" ……”

Li Guiqing wrung a handkerchief in the hot water to wipe her face, and sighed: "It's all that little guy surnamed Chen, who has done such a bad thing, but you are also tired of your sister." Alas! Sister, don't cry, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! The old pious woman who killed a thousand knives covered with Wu Daozi's "Heavenly King Sending His Son" in one mouth, all of which are good words (paintings), will definitely be able to coax the Ximen officials to like it, and don't care about it! As long as you flatter him and rejoice again, everyone will live up, and it will still be very haode sun and moon! Come on, this is my rouge, my sister ordered it first! ”

Li Jiaoer said with tears in her eyes while putting on makeup under Gui Qing's hands: "These days, it is my sister who secretly takes care of me, and my sister will always remember my sister's kindness!" If you can't repay in this life and this life, you will die and enter the underworld, and in the next life, you will have to turn into a donkey and a horse to reward your sister's kindness! ”

Hearing Li Jiao'er say desolately, Gui Qing also shed tears: "What am I? How much kindness can be given to people? My sister's today is my sister's tomorrow, I take care of my sister today, and I just look forward to having another sister take care of me tomorrow...... The sisters in our line are all miserable ......"

The two women were crying silently, but the old bustard downstairs shouted in a loud voice: "Jiao'er! Mother's heart, baby, good daughter! The great official of Simon saw that you are here today! Why don't you hurry down and meet your long-lost lover? ”

After howling, he turned around and smiled at Ximen Qingyanran, and the lead powder on his face fluttered to effect the falling snow outside the window, and at the same time he snorted: "Ximen officials, please sit wide, let the old woman go down to show the officials tea!" ”

When the tea arrived, the old bustard accompanied Ximenqing to gossip. Seeing that Ximenqing's face was calm, not as if he was coming to stir up trouble, he put one hundred and twenty hearts in front of him, and thought to himself: "Yes! Although this Ximen official is now the first star lord in Qinghe County, he was also ridiculous in the past, only people can't think of it, and he can't do it without him! His son-in-law Chen Xiaoguan'er is exactly his true inheritance, Weng's son-in-law has two snakes and rats in a nest, and they are in cahoots, it is Wang Ba who looks at mung beans and eyes, where is there any sour vinegar and flying vinegar delicious? ”

The more he thought about it, the more right it became, the old bustard let go of his thoughts, and turned his mind to the big coat brought by Ximenqing. His eyes slanted at the huge stone with a fat brain, and his heart was as hot as coals, why didn't he die when he hated Li Jiaoer?

Thankfully, the staircase sounded, and Li Jiao'er finally came down. The old bustard peeked at it, but saw that after Li Jiaoer changed her clothes and put on makeup, she was in better spirits, although she had suffered many grievances these days, she couldn't help but be haggard, but when she was thin, it seemed that the wind was blowing down.

So the old bustard sighed and said: "Simon official, my good daughter, I can hear that you have returned to the soul of the underworld, and I want to wear it every day, but I can't bear wings on my back, so that I can fly to see you." Who knows that you are so ruthless, you don't come today, you won't come tomorrow, but let my good daughter have a deep heart and go to waste. You see that she thinks about it, she can't even eat, she can't even sleep, if the big officials don't come again, they will definitely lose their lives! If the big officials don't believe the words of the old woman, you touch it with your own hands, what has become of my hard-working daughter? ”

Just when Li Jiaoer came to her side, the old bustard made a move to push the boat down the river, pushing Li Jiaoer's cowardly body straight into Ximen Qing's arms. If Zhang Sanfengsheng saw the hand of the old bustard in the Northern Song Dynasty, he would have sighed and felt ashamed, then Taijiquan was destined to be invented.

Ximen Qing put his hand on Li Jiaoer, frowned, and gently helped Li Jiaoer's body to stand up straight, Li Jiaoer just bowed her head and said nothing.

After thinking about it, Ximenqing suddenly smiled and said: "Old mama, Jiao'er and I haven't seen each other for many days, but I want to tell about our relationship." We'll go upstairs, you tea, don't get it yet! With that, he pulled Li Jiaoer and went straight upstairs.

The old bustard smiled happily beside him, and said continuously: "Since ancient times: 'Merry tea is a matchmaker.'" 'The spring warmth of the cave room today is still the credit of my wife and son for a cup of tea! ”

As soon as Ximenqing's figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs, the old bustard was like an eagle grabbing a bird, a tiger and a leopard eating a lamb, and an arrow rushed to the big coat left by Ximenqing, reaching out to touch the raised lines on it, and his eyes were shining with copper light.

Although he was greedy to 120,000 points, this old bustard did not take the sheep by the hand. It turns out that there are rules for the hook column, no matter how much money he has, he must be willing to hold it with both hands, and even sell the house and land to ruin the family, that is also your ability. But if it is secretly stealing the guests' property, it is intolerable to heaven and earth, and people and gods are angry. So when it comes to Lao Bustard's money, compared to Cai Jing Cai Taishi, Gao Yu Gao Taiwei and others in Tokyo, I'm afraid she is still smarter.

In the past, Ximen Qing had been walking in the hook fence for a long time, so he was very relieved, and pulled Li Jiaoer upstairs without looking back. When he arrived at the familiar door, Ximen Qing was about to push the door in, but was pulled by Li Jiaoer, and when he looked back, he saw Li Jiaoer avoiding his eyes, and said softly: "My current room is over there......" said, leading the way in front of him.

When I went to the door, the lintel was low, and the paint on the door was dull, and Ximen Qing understood more about it, and then pushed the door in to take a look, but saw that there was a black hole inside, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and I didn't know how many days the sun could be seen.

Li Jiao'er fumbled, lit the fire with a fire knife and flint, and lit the half of the broken candle on the lamp shelf, and finally could see things clearly in the room.

Ximenqing bent over and turned around the house twice, he was under the eaves, how could he not bow his head, if he didn't bend down, his head would hit the roof all the time.

After comprehending the four-walled room, Ximenqing sat on the bed, stretched out his hand and touched it, the wooden planks were hard, and the cotton in the bedding was also rolled into felt, perhaps it would be warmer to cover it with a big stone.

Sighing, Ximenqing said to the silent Li Jiao'er: "Take off your clothes!" "This is exactly what it is:

Why is the beauty of the beauty, and who is the beauty of the country? But I don't know what Ximen Qing wants to do, and listen to the next decomposition.
