Volume 5 Good and Well Path Dust 1, Uninvited Guest (1)

The third day of March in the nineteenth year of Yongning

In ancient times, the first day of March was the Shangsi Festival, and because the third day of the first month was more than the first day, the third day of the third month of March was the orthodox festival ().

Since ancient times, there has been a custom of provoking bathing on the waterfront, and there was a full-time witch priest in charge of this matter, that is, the book of "Li": the witch is in charge of the year when the witch is purifying and bathing. Purification is to purify sickness and ominousness; It is to purify the body; Provocation bath is a bath with aromatic herbs. The main purpose of this festival is to wash the body to get rid of evil diseases. In the later stage of the exhibition, the full-time witch naturally disappeared, and the sacrifice was not the main body of the festival celebration, and comprehensive activities such as bathing, orchid picking, frolicking, and drinking and feasting by the water were what the people were keen on. Among them, it is said that the elegance is natural and the water flows.

On the bank of the Dingwu River, the original nine meanders of the previous dynasty flowed through the waterway, and was repaired and renovated by the squires several times, renovated and expanded, and the stone case stone pier was placed again, now it is quite large-scale, the ordinary scholars of Meizhou City want to take advantage of the festival scenery to talk about their feelings, often bring their own mattresses, wine and food, and then gather here to chant poetry and laugh when they are purified. And the big family pays attention to some activities such as going out and playing, one is indispensable, if you want to drink and feast, naturally or return to the house, sit calmly in the Liuyu Pavilion, sit on the wine and delicacies, and then leisurely tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra.

The Liuzhen banquet of the New Year's Mansion is set in the next day, and the opening hour is calculated several times to be set at the next hour (1:15 pm), which is not only a special auspicious time, but also the spring outing time and the guests to set aside, just return from playing, rest, lunch, dinner, and solve it together, by the way, chant poems, write about the feelings of spring outing, and express the feelings of loving nature. (>)

Of course, this point is also set for the host's family to forgive the same Ji Shushu and leave time for the family members of the two provinces to travel.

On the banks of the Dingwu River, in addition to the mountain flowers and fragrant grass. In fact, there is no good scenery, but this festival is special, and there are still some bright colors: "Bright eyes and bright teeth look at the head of the river, and there are women like clouds." Fold the flowers and return. Qiluo Mo on Fangchen".

Because there is also an ancient custom of the Shangsi Festival, "Li" cloud: "The moon of mid-spring orders men and women to run, and those who run at the same time can't help but punish them if they don't need to order them for no reason." The men and women of the division will meet without a husband. That is, it openly approves the exchange of tokens between men and women, and privately agrees for life and even wild cooperation. Shangsi is about the same as Valentine's Carnival. Later, with the times, the imperial court promoted chastity and weathering, and this project was exempted, leaving only a spring hip variant "Bai Gao", that is, women worshipping the god of fertility and praying for blessings and children.

Despite this, but the Meizhou folk customs are open, the spring outing of the Shangsi Festival is still equivalent to the joy of young men and women, and now when you look at it, there are no taboos for red men and green women to frolic and play, and there are not a few people who hold willows and bouquets together. The openness of some people makes the new human Xia Xiaoman also stunned ().

The classmates who were sitting in the same car were not interested in enjoying the scenery, and he was upset about the mess in Nian Shoutang these days. If it weren't for the fact that he would have been on the list again after receiving his family letter at the end of the morning, he wouldn't even have the mood to come out today. The ninth brother is getting closer to the "Three Yuan and the First". His heart was a little brighter.

He unconsciously fiddled with Manniang's little hand in his palm while pondering the mess at home.

Nianshoutang watched for a day and two nights, and there was no movement at all; The yamen only found out that a batch of Qizhou catchers had been sent away, but there was no news at all. The case was shelved, the shop was sealed, and the government was full of officialdom, and what he said was nonsense that had nothing to do with the case. Mr. Fang was also confused, and he didn't know what the government was dragging, but one thing was clear, if Hou Lianxiao, Dou Xuyuan and others were the Nian family who came to ask for peace, then as long as he took this step, he would fall behind. This is not allowed by the Hu family. It is also unacceptable to the year.

Nian Liang also responded with an official tone, but discussed it with Hu Yuanshen. They also sent people to the capital. It may not take complicated and extreme means to solve things, but if someone does his own sin, he will not live.

There was no movement outside the house, but the inside of the house was lively. Nian Liang finally recruited Wu Xuan, father and son, to say hello, this father and son brought a group of shopkeepers and deacons into the door, they all knelt down, Wu Xuan, and even rolled down from a wheelchair, the scene was called a hot one. Nian Liang felt for the first time that the receptionist in the hall was not enough, this was not enough, he opened his mouth and said, quickly help up, a few little guys all went up, but they were still in a hurry, not enough to pull up this kneeling, that pull up that this is already kowtow, the mountain is ringing, Nian Liang is silent, sitting on the main seat coldly, looking lively, until I saw a small guy with sideburns sweating urgently, and because kneeling in the corner and no one paid attention to the two young men, the forehead was really good, Hui knocked out a piece of blue and red, then raised his hand and dropped a tea cup to the ground.

Good porcelain listens to the sound.

The sound of "whoop" was a crisp cry, and everyone was stopped on the spot.

Nian Liang waved his hand in silence for a moment, and then they all stood upright.

asked what happened again, Wu Xuan had been recuperating from his injuries and didn't take care of things, so naturally he didn't know anything; Wu Chang said that he was negotiating business with a medicinal herb that day, and he didn't know if he was not in the shop; As for the shopkeepers and men on duty who "experienced the danger", they were no longer as "bluffed and incoherent" as they said with Qing Ying on the day of the case, and their words were clear and vivid, and one by one they were like storytellers, and the lotus flowers bloomed ().

Saying that, a few bandits came in with knives, and killed a young man, shocked the crowd, and then took the knife holder, tied their hands and feet around their necks in turn, gagged their mouths, and threw them together. The bandits didn't seem to know the medicine, the loose medicine was not moved, and only wrapped two bags into medicine, and then took away dozens of taels of scattered silver in the money box on the cabinet and the valuable things on everyone's body. When the bandits left, everyone couldn't move, but a deacon wanted to come over to find the shopkeeper on duty because he had something, so he reported the case, and then the yamen took over.

As he spoke, some people were excited, and his hands were also compared, and he didn't react to it, and he specially stroked his arms to show off the abrasions, knife wounds, and bruises and bruises on his wrists that were tied up by ropes, and the thrill seemed to be worse than what Man Niang had encountered.

In the end, it was reported that the shop in front of the official had lost two percent of the silver, and after the conversion of the medicine, it was five hundred and six taels and four dollars and three hundred and seventy yuan. The shopkeeper's property was lost to one hundred and ten taels of silver. Two guests who bought medicine were robbed of their property and converted into 12 taels of silver and 23 cents.

Nian Liang looked at the money on the handover list, and listened to the number of small changes, and the guests sighed in their hearts, and the round sound was reasonable. It was the hottest time of the morning. Most people in Meizhou City take a nap, and there are not too many guests, and having two guests is more real than no guests.

He hummed but suddenly asked, "There are still guests who buy medicine?" I didn't listen to the people of the Yamen. His eyes were fixed on the faces of Wu Chang and the shopkeeper on duty.

Wu Changben half-lowered his head, and when he heard the words, his eyebrows moved, and he rolled his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to raise his eyes to look at the master, and Ye Ran quickly turned to frown and tilted his head to look at the shopkeeper on duty. The latter's face turned pale. There was more panic than surprise on his face, and when he received Wu Chang's gaze, he paused, and said again and again, he didn't know what was going on in the yamen, but there were indeed two guests who bought medicine at that time, "both of them are ordinary people, and a thirty-year-old beard came to grab the medicine." There is also an old man who has a gray head and coughs all the way to see the sick place......"

The year is already clear.

"I'm old. I was afraid that I was horrified, so I turned around and inquired about sending some silver taels. Don't damage the name of Nianshoutang's benevolence and righteousness. "He has no intention of pursuing (). The general will follow their words and explain to Zhige to end the questioning.

The deacons and guys are all good to say, mainly because there is a lack of someone who can replace Wu Chang. Neti Wu Camelina's identity is enough and his qualifications are not enough; After the transfer, I asked my grandmother to wait for someone to arrive. I can't count how many months. If you don't marry Qingying, you can only let the dispensing years last for a while. Ran Nian has been with him for ten years, and he knows it very well, but he can't manage the herbs and catch them both inside and outside.

There is a shortage of people. There is a shortage of servants who can stop this group of "thugs" from kneeling. The deacons who can replace this group of "shrewd ghosts" also lack him and have a headache. I began to regret that I had brought less people from Beijing.

In the morning, he thought that there was a shortage of people, and in the afternoon, people came, but he had a headache even more.

Wei Di rushed back from Yashan Villa, along with Yin Bin and fifteen men. Yin Bin smiled honestly and said: "Listening to the danger, I am afraid that there is a shortage of people on the master's side, so I called Tete to lead fifteen first, and there are two hands in his hand, and he has the strength to do things properly." ”

Before he could think of anything, he only heard Yin Bin say again: "If there are soft eggs under the Nianshou Hall, these people can also stand up to a stall." ”

Wolf ambitions. He felt a little stiff when he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and faintly heard his back molars rubbing slightly and making a harsh sound, and finally laughed. A pack of wolves. The wolves outside stared at the wolves at the house, and the wolves at home were infighting. It's the wolf that TmD is the wolf.

Yin Bin, a reckless man, was not surprised at all that he could do such an obviously stupid thing, but he was only curious about what kind of attitude the old man Yin Xun had about this matter. Old Man Yin would not make such a mistake. The reckless man said that the old man didn't know, is this really the case?

Yin Xun is the grandmother's most reassuring steward. Before coming to Meizhou, my grandmother once said......

The woman beside him sneered, breaking the contemplation of the old man, he lowered his head and asked her, "What are you laughing at?" ”

His full mother laughed and trembled, and the empty hand trembled and pointed out the window.

Where there is a consumer market, there are businessmen, on the riverside, many traders carrying baskets and burdens shuttle between tourists, selling flowers, ornaments and all kinds of food, Xia Xiaoman refers to a woman who buys flowers, Ying Chunjing'er is green, but she chooses a bright red peony, silk flowers, don't cover half of her face on the sideburns, red and green, it's not funny, but also scratches her posture, more like a clown (). And the flower seller couldn't help but smile and compliment, and her male partner was also smiling, nodding frequently in approval. In the eyes of the lover, there is nothing false about Xi Shi. It's just that this aesthetic is unavoidable......

Nian forgave was also amused, shook his head, and saw that she had other beads on her bun, and the custom of the festival was that women wanted to don't have camellia to pray for grain, and the rich and noble people hated that camelina flowers were lowly and refused to give up flowers, so they used gold and silver to cast beads to decorate, not only to please auspiciousness, but also not to fall into status. He took her over, raised his hand and pushed the hairpin, and said in a low voice: "I have been busy with today's banquet these two days, and I didn't think about adding decorations." Later, let's go back to the gold shop and choose two ...... to wear."

The tip of the hairpin touched the scalp and hurt slightly, and Xia Xiaoman turned his head. He supported himself on his legs and sighed. She knew what he meant, and she had to carry people by her clothes there. But she wasn't interested in being a vase. This body is not a vase at all.

Thinking of the banquet in the afternoon, she became a little irritable, this was the first time in her previous life and this life to operate such a banquet, in her previous life, she had never organized a large party, and even the opportunity to participate in the drinking party could be counted on one hand; After the crossing, he only participated in a few New Year's family banquets during the New Year's Festival, and he followed the second lady, lowered his eyebrows, followed the rules, and waited in a regular manner, and did not pay much attention to the design and layout, and was completely a layman in terms of execution. And. This is not an ordinary feast for eating and listening to music.

Although she received a lot of advice from Ji Zheng's family and a lot of advice from Ji Lingshu, after the banquet, she still had to take care of the overall situation and entertain those "distinguished people" who always had no bottom in their hearts. Some knowledge is not something that books, TV or others can teach you, you must practice before you can really master it, as for the use of flexibility, it depends on the talent and the frequency of practice.

She said to herself, who lives for whom, and she said to herself, she doesn't care. But even if you don't care about being ugly, it's not a pleasant thing after all.

Thinking of the possible cynicism, she became more impatient and snorted softly. Said: "What's the use of exempting clothes and accessories?" It's like this! Besides, it's not that kind of person, and it's useless to wear gold armor. ”

He smiled as he shook his hand. She also sensed that this was wrong, so she turned her head and said perfunctorily: "Hey, hey, don't talk about this ()." When you come out, you will have a happy afternoon, and you will talk about it in the afternoon. Okay, okay......"

Naturally, he couldn't be happy, his fingers lingered on a row of small hairpins, and he didn't say anything.

She rolled her eyes, didn't bother to wait, and pushed herself on. Earn it. said: "Don't worry, I have a line." It won't be a shame for you. ”

He was crushed by the meat leg and felt pain in his teeth, and he "hissed". She was startled, hurriedly leaned away, moved her hand and reached over again, gently fluttering, and said a little nervously: "What's okay, right?" ”

He said angrily: "It's okay." ”

She exhaled and continued to gently flutter like a child, but there was no expression on her face, and she only said, "It's okay......"

He took a deep breath and took her into his arms, and said in annoyance, "What are you annoyed about? ”

She glared at him and said, "Hey, it's obviously you who are annoyed." Listen to the movement of your voice

He was silent for a long time, slowly let go of his hand and said, "Manniang...... This is the first time it has ever been ...... Just take your time. Wear whatever you want. There are many people who are invited, if you don't open your eyes and say something, you just don't go to your heart......"

The lower his voice became, the more he knew that it was useless to persuade him. Man Niang has always thought a lot, although she was silent in the past, every word that people said went to her heart, and the more she didn't speak, the more she suffocated herself. Now her words are as sharp as knives, and they are revealed at every turn, stabbing people's hearts uncomfortable, but what about her own heart? In the end, I still pondered and felt uncomfortable, otherwise where would the resentment in those words come from?

She pursed her lips and snorted, but her body was less stiff and leaned on top of him. All right. There has to be a process for the first encounter? Just a workout? All right......

After a while, the car stopped, the little guy came over, and the curtain respectfully asked to get out of the car, and the woman who pushed and leaned on her body and pretended to sleep was still awkward, and the scene outside was not looking, and the corners of her mouth were drooping. He tried to speak, but she stood up neatly and waited for him to move the elongated chair.

So when his leg touched the ground, he "hissed" again ().

She hurriedly crossed her waist and shoulders and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

He hooked the corners of his mouth, turned his head, leaned into her ear, and whispered, "It's all right, you don't believe it." Then we'll see ...... night."

As he spoke, the heat blew behind his ears and into his neck, and he itched in his collar. She shrunk her neck, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she only snorted coldly, her face didn't react, but her ears were slightly hot.

After getting out of the car, Nian Liang took the crutches and stood firm, took a deep breath and said to Xia Xiaoman: "Go and ask my aunt to get off the car." ”

Although he usually walks on crutches, his legs have not completely healed, and sometimes the bone stubble will hurt and the calf will be swollen, so in the past, if he needed to walk more when he went out, he was in a wheelchair. Today, he insisted on refusing to insist on "stepping on". The pedaler also pedals with his feet. This foot does not touch the ground, what is called "stepping" green.

Even Ji Zheng couldn't say it, so he had to compromise and allow him to go by himself, but he didn't let him go too far and didn't go to the river. He asked someone to bring the bluegrass dipped in the river to come and purify with him. In ancient times, the rituals have been simplified again and again, and finally only the symbolic form remains, that is, standing on the bank of the river, dipping the orchid grass in the river water, and dusting it on the body, which is regarded as a ritual of purification.

"When you're tired, go back to the car." Ji Zhengshi repeatedly asked to repeat the "agreement" reached with Nian Liang before.

Nian Liang responded with a smile and said, "Why don't you have to accompany your aunt on a trip when you come out." ”

Ji Zheng smiled: "Wait until you are ready to walk ten miles!" Now it's free. Let's go to the river. Take a walk around the world. As she spoke, she patted Xia Xiaoman, who was holding her, and said with a smile: "It's really not appropriate to accompany my wife on such a day today." You don't have to go with it, and it's important to take care of Rokuro. ”

Xia Xiaoman was pushed by her and let go, and when he heard this again, he was a little embarrassed, and he only smiled and said: "It's better to serve Mrs. Hao, and Mrs. Aunt is happy, and the sixth master is down-to-earth." ”

Ji Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not here either." Go ahead and help Rokuro a little. Go steady. Let's go. Saying that, he brought Ji Lingshu, supported by Ji Qi's family, and took the family to the river, and asked someone to prepare the shed, and went to the shed in the morning. Ji Songshu raised his hand at Nian Liang in the back, and Nian Liang nodded and smiled. I made a gesture to poop.

Xia Xiaoman ordered someone to take a basket of bluegrass and follow him to the river to dip in the water, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Where does the sixth master want to wander?" ”

Nian Liang looked around and said, "It's really nothing to see, listen to my aunt's instructions to go around." As you say, move your muscles and bones. ”

Xia Xiaoman was going to stand behind him, but now he turned around, and now the two of them, who were originally in charge of supporting the master, withdrew together. lowered his head but swept her out of the corner of his eye. She was stunned for a moment, and then looked around at the men and women who were holding each other's hands, and her eyes still rubbed over and grabbed his arm.

He had already taken two steps on his own. Tilted his head to look at her. He smiled and let out a long sigh. Walking slowly, while looking at the spring scene, he tried to find a pleasant topic and said: "The palace test is on the first day of the third month, and I don't know what happened to the ninth brother. It will take half a month to know Xin'er. ”

She said: "The Ninth Master will be fine." Grandma Nine also brought a letter to her, knowing that she was illiterate, and only wrote a few simple sentences, but she was full of joy. She is also sincerely happy, and she is also looking forward to the ninth master's ability to reach the first place.

"Yes." He was also happy, his tone was brisk, and he said quite confidently: "I told you to prepare the land for the Huiyuan land gift first, and wait for the palace to release the two congratulatory table gifts in one place." ”

Thinking of He Huiyuan's gift, she was not happy again. I only received a letter yesterday, and today there is that damn feast, how can I have time to prepare a gift! Like his slave owner, he hurried to prepare for the ceremony.

She hummed and said in a cold tone, "I'm not prepared." Isn't this just about preparing for today's feast? ”

He felt that the topic of the banquet that made her unhappy went up again, and he was also depressed, what is the matter today, why did he get involved with this matter, and the three and a half sentences went around. He didn't look forward to this banquet originally, but now he just wanted to hurry over, so that Manniang could put away the knife.

He paused and said, "Well, the crabs have also come down for a while, and it is the fattest time after waiting for Yuewang." As soon as the good news arrives, I will choose the best one and send it over (). ”

She didn't turn her mind and said, "Crabs? At least April, right? In her previous life, her family lived by the sea, and she remembered eating crabs around May Day every year.

He sneered and said, "Where did you hear about it?" Suddenly he remembered something and said, "I forgot too." You told me that you lived by the beach with your grandmother for a while...... Well, it's a little later in the north......"

She quickly pursed her mouth and slowly opened it, "Hmm...... I don't remember. I also listened to the housekeeper and daughter-in-law below who said such a mouth......"

She didn't want to hear her more than the feast, she forgot about the past. Today...... Really....... Kamimi was supposed to be a joyous day. Alas. Seeing that her face was still a little awkward, he sighed in a low voice, touched her elbow and said softly: "I should have asked you to enter the summer, let's go to the fishing farm, Zhuangzi to cool off, and now wait for the crabs to get fat." ”

It's a pity that in the middle of the spring, Xia Xiaoman's classmates were completely puzzled, and he still regretted talking nonsense at his own house, and only rolled his eyes and looked at the blue sky, sleepwalking, and said: "Oh......"

The riverside was full of people, laughter, shouting, and noise. Suddenly, a loud voice shouted from behind, "Sixth brother!" ”

Xia Xiaoman, who was looking at the sky, was so excited that his neck tendons almost twisted, and he hurriedly pulled out one hand to support the back of his neck and looked back. However, the sea of people was vast, and the source of the sound was nowhere to be found, but she saw many passers-by looking behind her like her.

"Is it called you?" She turned around and stabbed the sixth master of the year, who was as calm as the Buddha beside her, and asked.

"It's not." Nian Sixth Master didn't look back at all, there was no wrinkle on his face, and he said lightly: "Meizhou didn't call me Sixth Brother." Before she began to be ashamed of her incalmness, she heard another roar behind her: "Sixth brother! Sixth brother! …… Sixth brother wait for me!! "It's a lot closer.

She was stunned for a third of a second, then burst out laughing, tugging on his sleeve, trembling her teeth, her tongue twitching, and she only said vaguely: "Brother Monkey, wait for me!" ”
