From time to time, there were cases of bandits gathering the party, bewitching the public, cholera places, and burning churches. Zhuang Xi was ordered to go to the north to pacify, but he could not return after half a month, and it was rumored that there were many crimes in Jiangsu, Hubei, Jiangxi and other places, so he received the order and did not mention it. Every few days, I would bring a letter to Beijing to ask Mrs. An, and then ask about Zhuang Wei.

Therefore, Zhuang Qin made a big fuss, Zhuang Qin was very angry when he found out, and it was difficult to come forward after all, and he didn't talk about it in the letter to Zhuang Xihui, and asked his aunt Chasde to pick up some festive and safe reports.

Zhuang Ji has been under house arrest since that day, and his mother Qin sent people to ask for medicine and immortals all day long, and she couldn't hang up on her face, so she could only engage in these actions to show others. The county lord and the Cao family came to visit a few times and persuaded a few times, but it didn't work. When the old lady learned about it, she asked people to pass the Qin family to Zhongfu, and scolded her again, pointing at her for beating her son who was coquettish, and he was born profligate. Qin's heart was bitter, and he begged Zhuang to kowtow to the old lady to admit his mistake, but Zhuang was willing to ask Qin to let him out, so that he could tie the knot as he wished.

The Qin family is lawless, sad day and night, the eldest girl Zhuang Hu sees this, she feels pitiful, comforts and accompanies her, and the rest can't be more involved. The fifth girl, Zhuang Yu, came to visit the Qin family in Dongfu with the county lord, and when she saw Zhuang Hu shed tears because of the Qin family's affairs, she couldn't help but pull her aside, and then mention the matter of the conspiracy first.

After the middle of May, Qin became more and more emaciated and unenergetic, and after two days, he actually lay down and fell ill, and when he came to a doctor to see, he could not see the symptoms. Fortunately, the lord of the county sent someone to invite the old lady doctor from the Tai Hospital to come and see it, only to conclude that it was the symptoms of the heart fire attacking the throat and leading to the head, and the Dongfu did not dare to let the old lady know, so he vaguely took the medicine given by the Tai Doctor.

On this day, the county lord sent Yuping to send meat lingzhi to the Qin family of Dongfu, and was seen by Zhuang Yu, who came to ask for peace, Zhuang Yu didn't care whether the county lord wanted to or not, grabbed the meat lingzhi and sent it over personally. The county commissioner is by.

When Zhuang Yu arrived in Dongfu, he found Zhuang Hu in the house, handed over the meat Ganoderma lucidum, and opened the words in his heart.

Zhuang Yu whispered to Zhuang Hu: "I let Shi'er take a look, there are people living in the old mansion in the south of the city." ”

Fu'er is Zhuang Yu's personal girl, she is extremely ghostly, and she is a person who is alive with the five girls of her master. She was instructed to go out one day and go straight to the south of the city to see who Zhuang was going to carry back. That old house was originally the ancestral house of the old base where Zhuang Fu lived when he made a fortune, and then he was rewarded by the Holy Mansion, and it became an old house that the old lady missed, exclusively for Buddha. Now it is occupied by Zhuang Xuan, and the red and yellow tents are arranged, and there is no trace of Buddha spirit.

Fu'er came back and returned to Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Yu was so angry that he wanted to sue the old lady, but fortunately, Shi'er stopped him but didn't succeed. happened to see that the county lord sent someone to send meat lingzhi, so she went over and brought these words to Zhuang Hu.

After hearing this, Zhuang Hu was stunned, and he didn't have an attitude for a while.

Zhuang Yu said: "The old lady knows how to get it, not to mention that the old lady knows how to manage it, and how can she manage it." The second master, the third master, and the fourth master, who can say that the big brother? Only the eldest master said three or two sentences in front of him, and he could listen to one and a half sentences. If you want to use family law to deal with it by force, the eldest lady is willing? Big sister, you can't do it, can you? Just watching unclean people live in it, dirty the Buddha, and dirty our ancestors. ”

Zhuang Yu said with a hot breath, and Zhuang Hu was also said to be moved.

Zhuang Yu said again: "The eldest sister is married, you can ignore it, I can't swallow this breath." Anyway, in the future, our house will be the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother will be in charge, and maybe there will be a younger brother in the future. We have become human beings, and we have done some human things, so that people outside may see us and laugh at us. ”

Zhuang Hu listened to Zhuang Yu's more and more poisonous, and scolded him along with himself, so he smiled: "I am not surnamed Zhuang when I get married, and the food and housing are all in the house." My sister is treating me as an outsider. ”

Zhuang Yu felt that his words were too radical, and said: "Big sister, don't blame me for speaking well, I am defending you in my heart." Why don't you understand what I mean? What else can I say to a second person? ”

Zhuang Hu took Zhuang Yu's hand and said gratefully: "I know the fifth sister." ”

In this way, Zhuang Yu asked Shi'er to guard the house, and she and Zhuang Hulian took a carriage to the old house in the south of the city.

Arrived at the door of this house.

Zhuang Hu motioned to Dao Feng to call the door, and after a while, he heard the sound of small footsteps coming from the house. The door opened with a bang. A girl with pigtails poked her head out, and a pair of surprised eyes puzzled the innocent people outside the door.

Dao Feng said: "Is your master here?" ”

The girl didn't say anything, and looked timid. Look at these gorgeous and brocade clothes in front of you, and you know that they are powerful people.

Dao Feng saw that the girl was silent, so he said again: "We are from Zhuangfu, this is the eldest girl and the fifth girl, come to see your wife." ”

When the girl heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, and she immediately closed the door and hurriedly ran inside.

Seeing this, Dao Feng stomped hard, turned back to Zhuang Hu and said, "Girl, look." ”

Zhuang Yu responded with a "hum" and said, "Most of the people on the left side of the door are so suspicious and crooked. It's a joke that you can still enter our house if you are so rude. ”

Zhuang Hu's faint face meant to turn around and leave.

Half a minute later, I heard footsteps inside, Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Yu waited to see again, only to see the door open.

Coming in front of her was a Peugeot woman, with a few small hairpins tied on her loose cloud sideburns, standing on the side and shaking, a goose egg face, distant mountains and eyebrows, Chu eyes and soft beads, not yet exported, pursed her lips and smiled, pitiful to cover up the lightness of some thick fat powder. She stood in the door, deeply greeted Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Yu, and said after getting up: "I heard that the eldest girl and the fifth girl are coming, and they are rude and rude." ”

Zhuang Hu held his face, did not return the salute, and smiled slightly. Zhuang Yu stepped forward and looked at the woman from head to toe, looking at her embarrassed.

Zhuang Yu said: "My eldest brother sent us over to have a look, didn't you invite us in?" ”

The woman bowed to the side and let her go out, and Zhuang Yu didn't care whether the other party invited her or not, she went in first. The woman lowered her head and smiled, and stretched out her hand to invite Zhuang Hu in.

Entering the house, there is a Tiankai yard first, the yard is simple, a few potted plants are planted to welcome the road, and on both sides is the pastoral enclosure, in which some seasonal vegetables and green plants are planted, or there are flowers, or hanging fruits. Further inside is the hall, through the hall is up and down two floors, the first floor is the kitchen storage and the next room for people, and the upper floor should be the master bedroom. The overall arrangement is very festive, red, green and green, which is very eye-catching. The Buddha and the tent in the hall have long been thrown away.

Zhuang Yu went in first, and after reading it, he didn't get angry anymore, and sat down on a chair by himself.

The woman asked Zhuang Hu and the others to come in and sit down, and asked her to ask Dan Xin to go to the tea, but she stood aside and didn't dare to sit. Danxin brought the tea, and she personally held it, taking care of everything.

Zhuang Hu said: "You also sit." ”

The woman was embarrassed to sit halfway to the right of the lower seat.

Zhuang Hu took a closer look at the woman, and it was indeed beautiful and moving, so he said: "No wonder my brother is infatuated with you, it is really beautiful, if I am a man, I can't help but fall in love." ”

The woman's head hung lower, and she said embarrassedly, "The girl laughed shamefully." ”

Zhuang Yu said: "Throughout the ages, there have been many beauties. There are not many virtuous people, and Jiang Hou is counted as one. The glamorous and talented Aunt Cao, Ban Jieyu, Cai Wenji, and Xie Daoyun are counted; On virtue, there are Meng Guang and Bao Xuan's wives. There are also a lot of thin lives, Xi Shi, Yang Guifei, Diao Chan, and Zhaojun are not? ”

The woman smiled and said, "How dare I compare with the former Gulie women, I am just an ordinary woman, guarding myself." Make the girl laugh. ”

Zhuang Yu said coldly: "It's not for nothing that ordinary women guard the bitterness, and they are also the phoenix among people, Lechang broke the mirror, Su Hui palindrome, and Cao's knife cut his nose." It is bitter or not, and it is respectful. ”

When the woman heard Zhuang Yu's words with the smell of knives and guns, she didn't talk.

Zhuang Yu said: "The world is both beautiful and can be enjoyed for centuries, I only push Xiaoman, Wang Yan, Jiangxian, Wenjun, Xizi, Fan Su and others. Look at Chen Yuanyuan, the owner of Peach Blossom Dock, what is the good end? ”

Zhuang Hu saw that the woman's face was red and green when she was said, and knew that she was shy, so he took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that your name is Huan'er?" ”

The woman said: "The famous ...... who was originally called in the building" paused, and didn't want to take out the past again, because it was Zhuang Xuan's family, and didn't want to hide it, and then said the truth: "Uncle ransomed me and started another one." ”

Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Yu glanced at each other in surprise.

The woman said, "Now it's called Bichi." ”

When Zhuang Yu heard this, he didn't know it clearly, and asked again, and the woman replied carefully: "Bichi." ”

After listening, Zhuang Yu couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

The woman Bi Chi didn't understand why, but because Zhuang Ji gave him a good name, his family was happy to accept it.

Therefore, Bi Chi said: "The master said, the cold is blue, and the spring is blue." It is a good start, and there is a beautiful sentence of 'lonely sail far away and blue sky', which means that in the end, it is also a beautiful life. The master also said, who is not a person in the pool? That's why I was given this name. ”

Zhuang Hu saw that Zhuang Yu was still laughing, so he asked her, "Fifth sister, what are you laughing at?" Think it's wrong? ”

Zhuang Yu waved his hand and said again and again: "Right, right!" Excellent! It couldn't be more relevant. How about calling you Sister Bichi? ”

Zhuang Yu laughed so much that tears came out, but Zhuang Hu looked at her with strange eyes, and felt that there was an allusion in his heart.

Zhuang Hu said: "My fifth sister is like this, she likes the adults in the house, but there are no rules." Asked Bichi again: "How old is my sister?" ”

Bi Chi got up and said, "Twenty-five." ”

Zhuang Hu smiled and said, "It's younger than me." ”

Bichi said: "My sister looks beautiful. It's estimated that it's about the same age as me. ”

After hearing this, Zhuang Yu said, "Nonsense! How can the big sister go up and down with you, our sister is a talented and virtuous person. ”

Bi Chi knew that he was speechless, his face changed, and he was deeply blessed to apologize.

Zhuang Hu said: "It's okay. Come here today, one is to come to see on behalf of the sisters, and the other is to come to pick you up for your brother. ”

Bi Chi was flattered, and said again: "Yuan also told the master that my status is out of place, and the master insists on carrying me in." On that day, it was inevitable that there would be a quarrel with the house. I have persuaded ......"

Zhuang Hu said: "Don't be careful, since you are my brother's person, it should be." Thinking that I should take you into the house. ”

Bichi hesitated, not very convinced.

Zhuang Hu said: "My brother is having another trouble with the house, to be honest, it is not convenient for him to come out." The carriage is outside, you just have to pack your clothes. ”

Bichi said: "Why don't you wait for the master to come back......"

Zhuang Yu got up and said lazily: "What are you waiting for, my eldest brother is in the house, I'll see you when I go back." I'm afraid we'll kidnap you! ”

Bi Chi said with difficulty: "I didn't mean that, the girl misunderstood." ”

Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Yu talked again and again, Bi Chi hesitated for a while, and then said to the girl Danxin: "Clean up your clothes." ”

Danxin went upstairs to clean up first, and Bi Chi also owed a debt and followed.

As soon as Bi Chi left, for the rest of the time, Zhuang Yu couldn't help laughing, and Zhuang Hu raised his hand to hit her.

Zhuang Hu said: "You pick up people like this? ”

Zhuang Yu leaned over and whispered, "Sister doesn't know, I am the name that Brother Xiao gave her." ”

Zhuang Hu was puzzled: "What is the allusion?" ”

Zhuang Yu covered his mouth and smiled, tears were pouring out, he couldn't understand the words, and when he was out of breath, he said: "There is no allusion, I just think it is very appropriate." There is a language in the West, Guan Bichi is scolding. ”

Zhuang Hu looked at Zhuang Yu in a daze, waiting for her to continue.

Zhuang Yu said: "Bichi is a prostitute in Western dialect,*." ”

Zhuang Yu couldn't stop laughing after speaking, Zhuang Hu couldn't help laughing, Dao Feng and Jian Qiu stood aside and forbeared. Because he saw Bi Chi and the girl Dan's heart down, Dao Feng's eyes were sharp, and he woke up, Zhuang Yu didn't care, and still did his own jokes.

Around the corner, Bi Chi and the girl stood there, hearing clearly what they were talking about just now, and they didn't say anything at the moment, and walked out with a smile.
