Chapter 149: Eating Old Vinegar

Then he sang the classic passage of "Chen Sanliang", but several ladies had never heard of this play, Lan Lan was articulate, so she explained it to everyone,

Jinshi Li Jiujing was framed to death by a traitor, and his daughter Li Shuping sold herself in order to bury her parents and raise her brother, but she didn't want to enter the Qinglou by mistake and changed her surname to Chen. She is full of talent, both hands can write plum blossom seal characters, because of her determination not to be a prostitute, to sell literature for the bustard mother to earn silver, the poems and essays each sell silver three taels, so called Chen three taels. Sanliang adopted the orphan Chen Kui as his younger brother, taught him to read and helped him go to the exam. Later, Sanliang was sold by the bustard's mother to the jeweler Zhang Zichun as a concubine, and the rich businessman bribed Li Fengming, the prefect of Cangzhou, to torture him and force him to 'be good'...... Chen Sanliang's righteous brother Chen Kui was the governor, Chen Sanliang wronged Zhaoxue, and Li Fengming was dismissed. ”

The ladies heard that there was such a strange woman, plus such an adventure, they were all interested, everyone was used to hearing about love, love, fighting, killing and killing, and suddenly heard that there was such a story, they were very curious,

Da Shi said in surprise, "There is still such a scene, I should watch it." You sing two stanzas. ”

"Yes, ma'am!" Lan Lan began to sing,

This hall is big enough, and it brings echo, and the voice of the singer is naturally good, don't look at the Yue opera and listen to it softly, but when it is really sung, it is still very powerful.

It didn't take long for someone to hear the voice and rushed to the hall, Pearl looked over, it turned out to be a teenage girl, and when she saw the people sitting in the hall, she was not afraid of people, so she went directly to Dashi's arms, and Dadashi pinched her little nose. Holding the little girl in her arms, when Lan Lan finished singing, the little girl asked,

"Mother, she sings so well, but it doesn't seem like a play on our side!"

Dashi said with a smile, "I haven't seen a few aunts yet!" ”

The little girl saluted, and when she saw the pearl being made on the side, she was very curious, and said to the pearl. "This is my youngest daughter, Linglong."

Pearl nodded in return. The little girl immediately went on to ask Lan Lan what to say, and said to Lan Lan,

"How old are you? Where are you from? What kind of drama are you singing? ”

With so many whys, pearls feel big. But Lan Lan is very clever. Said. "Miss Hui's words, the slave maid is twelve years old this year, and she was originally from Jiangnan. It's also the tune of Jiangnan. This play is called "Chen Sanliang". Lan Lan simply told Yu Linglong about this drama again.

Because of the appearance of Lan Lan, this meeting with the prefect's wife was very smooth, out of the door of the prefect's house, Mrs. Yin's face was still smiling, and when she was about to break up with Pearl, Mrs. Yin said, "Mrs. Ming, in fact, I know you." Now that I see you, I realize that you are indeed not an ordinary person, I appreciate your personality, and I can't bear to see the people I admire have a bad life. ”

"Mrs. Yin, ...... you" Mrs. Yin's words made Pearl feel a bad premonition, Mrs. Yin continued,

"Li Tang of Bailu Academy has a granddaughter who married into our Zhangzhou, this woman, Mrs. should pay attention to it."

Pearl felt that the whole person was not good, and said to Mrs. Yin, "Thank you, sister." ”

"It's easy to say, seeing that you are also from my generation, this reminds you. Although the man was widowed, he had heard that he was quite talented, and his sister should be careful. ”

If you say that you don't get it, it's absolutely impossible, the pearl nodded and listened, Mrs. Yin can know herself, this pearl is not surprised at all, just now at the banquet, Mrs. Yin also mentioned the shopkeeper Liu, and everyone understands the meaning of this.

Mrs. Yin mentioned this woman from the Li family, but she didn't know what she meant, it seemed that she wanted to investigate it properly, thinking of this, she secretly arranged this job for Liu Xuan. When he returned to the station, Pearl's face was still very bad. After glancing at the child, he rested early.

This night, Ming Qian came back very late, followed to the banquet is Chu Yan and Chu Xiong, these two helped their master to slip back, although Ming Qian drank too much, but the pearl has already explained to them, fire prevention and anti-theft put climb the bed, if the adult is drunk, there are definitely a lot of people to watch, can not let go of any female animal appeared within a radius of twenty meters of the master. Even if the old man drank too much, the Chu brothers also had a way, and they brought the cloak directly, and they brought all the sobering medicine.

Ming Qian was really a little drunk this time, and when he came back, he looked for Pearl, although Pearl was in a bad mood today, but he would not push her husband out. For so long, Pearl had thought about it over and over again.

If the Li girl is Mingqian's first love, it is also possible, but whether this first love will be a revival of old love or disillusionment, it is not clear. Pearl felt that it would be better if the other party didn't appear in their lives, but if it did, Pearl couldn't just sit back and investigate clearly, thinking like this, he secretly wrote a letter to Liu Gui and asked him to start investigating as well.

Although Pearl has tried her best to endure these days, who is Mingqian? Soon I saw that my daughter-in-law was wrong, and I was in a hurry these days, and I tried my best to talk to the pearl, and I found my son to sell cuteness. Even the two birds in the family were used. No matter how much gas the pearl has at this time, it is all gone. Sure enough, it's a sad relationship, Pearl feels that she is not an infatuated person, but once she really meets it, she can't even deceive herself, how can she deceive others?

When they came to Dazheng County, they had so many carriages, plus the guards with knives around them, and they were low-key and luxurious. The people in the city gave way of their own accord. Not long after walking, someone came to greet me. The pearl closed the curtain of the carriage to prevent people from seeing, but this dark-colored curtain has the advantage of not being able to see the inside from the outside, but from the inside.

Pearl looked out of the car and saw many shops on both sides of the street, as well as open stalls. There are pedestrians who come and go, some wearing Han costumes, and some foreigners wearing Hu costumes. You can tell it from the clothes. The jacket of the Liang Dynasty is mostly crossed collar placket, the Central Plains people advocate the right, and the habit of covering the right side of the placket is called the right placket; And the northern tribes advocate the left, and the placket is covered on the left, which is for the left. In addition to the left side of the jacket, the lower garment and foot garment of the Hufu are also significantly different from the Central Plains clothing.

In some historical periods, the Han nationality was influenced by foreign ethnic groups, and there was also a situation of left-hand people. Left is also used to refer to being ruled by a foreign nation. Confucius once said: "Guan Zhong Xianghuan Gong, tyranny princes, one Kuang world, the people have received it now, micro tube Zhong, I have been sent to the left." This means that if we didn't have it, we would have to be slaves of a foreign race, dressed in the clothes of the left and with our hair scattered.

In addition, according to the traditional customs of the Han nationality, the longevity clothes worn by the deceased are worn on the left side, and instead of cloth buttons, they use muslin belts to tie the dead knots to show the difference between yin and yang. If anyone wears Zuo Zhen's clothes, it will scare people to death.

Looking ahead, it seemed that someone had come to pick them up, Ming Qian followed them and exchanged a few words before continuing to walk forward.

Dazheng County sits in the north and faces south, there are 3 gates, and the lobby is 5 wide. There are flowers and birds painted on all the wooden components, but the days are long, and they are a little tattered, as the so-called officials do not repair the yamen, the guests do not repair the shop, this yamen is really not strange. The column is inlaid with a pair of wood: 'Deceive others as if deceiving the heavens does not deceive yourself; Bearing the people is the country, how can we bear it. In the middle of the lobby hangs, "Neixiang County Main Hall" gold-lettered plaque, under the plaque is the warm pavilion of the county trial, the front of the pavilion stands a sea-facing screen, and hangs the gold-lettered plaque of "Mirror Hanging". The three-foot law table is placed on the wooden high platform in the warm pavilion, the table is placed with the four treasures of the study room and the arrow barrel, and a Taishi chair is placed behind the table, which is the arrow frame on the left, and there is a black folding fan on the right. There are two bluestones on the left and right sides in front of the warm pavilion, the left is the plaintiff's seat, and the right is the defendant's seat.

There are meeting halls on both sides of the lobby, and there are two bungalows on the back side of the lobby, which are soap rooms. After the soap room, it is to the Chongguang door, and the door hangs the gold-lettered plaque of "Tianli Guoju". The cloister-style corridor is surrounded by rooms on both sides, the door is too heavy, there are double cloisters with heavy eaves on both sides, and the front is the piano room, with 5 rooms wide. There are matching rooms on both sides of the courtyard behind the hall, and there are corridors under the front and rear eaves, and the front is the welcome hall. Out of the welcome hall and into the courtyard, the front is three halls, and the left and right are cloister-style rooms.

There are east and west flower halls on both sides of the three halls, which are the houses of dependents. There is also a row of houses in the back garden after the third hall, and the pearl is cleaned up and planned to be lived by the guards and their families. The courtyard is open and quiet, and the atmosphere is solemn.

This backyard is really crowded enough, but everyone can only deal with it. Fortunately, Pearl and Mingqian both plan to live a low-key life, thinking about it like this, there is nothing. This time, everyone came with their clothes, and Pearl had to make two coarse cloth clothes, and the children were small, so she had to help cook and buy vegetables. He also has to be responsible for entertaining visitors. Although the oven was hungry and made a new one, it is estimated that it is eaten by the children of the family. The grain brought in was rouge rice and japonica rice, as well as many dried fruits, which were used for dim sum. I will buy the food I usually eat tomorrow.

Dazheng County is not a wealthy county, the previous county magistrate stayed here for five years, and finally died of illness in office, the county Cheng Zhou Teng is a sitting household here, and the master is wearing a pair of pants with Zhou Teng, and now it is about to enter winter, and the county government has no preparations, Ming Qian feels that it is wrong, is the daughter-in-law wrong? The matter of freezing to death has nothing to do with them? Thinking of this, Ming Qian felt that this must be a stumbling block that Zhou Teng gave him.

At this time, there was no silver in the treasury of Dazheng County, and he still owed 90,000 taels of silver in taxes, what did Ming Qian want? After getting out of the yamen this day, I came to the back hall and saw that my wife was teaching her sons to read, and I was in a much better mood. (To be continued......)
