Zhen Zhou knew that his mouth was about to go, so he knelt down and confessed: "It's all my son's, no, I rushed to say it." The son divorced his wife from his fate, and the former hatred was relieved, but this heart was never implemented-" Mrs. Yan gritted her teeth and scolded: "Dirty seed, he beat your banner behind your back, almost caused you to be exiled to the extreme, died on your father's side, and the bones were eaten by wolves, and you still read that stirring star!"

I want you to divorce your wife, and your hands are ready - Ming'er, you invite a table guest, and I will be the master to straighten Pin'er and be the mother of the eldest sister. Don't be angry with me: people have sent treasures without conscience, and their old lady will be buried tomorrow, and you two brothers, how many will stick one out of your head. Entertain guests today, Ming'er stretches out his head, the expenses in two places, you go to pick up your fingers and calculate with Baoyu! ”

Zhen Baoyu came back from analyzing the accounts, and happily chased away the mosquitoes, served him to take a bath and go to bed, put down the tent and said: "You are tired today, go to bed early - Ming'er gets up early to study, so that you can be more energetic." Zhen Baoyu struggled to sit up, "This reminds me", the nomination is called pleasant, "Go to my outer study, bring that volume of "The Mean" - 'Three Watches and Five Watches', I have to make up for an hour's homework before I dare to sleep." ”

Mother Xu, the nurse, heard it outside, "He's a girl's house, and it's dark and blind, so it's my wife who goes." Zhen Baoyu raised his voice and said: "Okay, Ming'er and the second brother will go to Jiafu to worship them Xie Taijun, you always tell your son to rinse his mouth by the way, and tell him to go and pull the stirrups on the saddle five inches high. "Come up and rub it for me." ”

Xu's mother agreed, Ai Ye came over, pulled out the copper hairpin and picked up the lamp, and said: "I forgot, I shouldn't call every day that day, rinse my mouth and heard that my wife is not allowed to sell me, and my wife repays the master's kindness, and pawns life-saving money to treat my wife." At that time, the master said that all three members of his family were loyal servants, and promised his mother: when the pawn period came, he would redeem the treasure and embroider it for them. ”

Zhen Baoyu sighed: "It's hard to embroider it, and it's hard to rinse your mouth." I'm worried that he'll come back and rinse his mouth. Xiren kept holding it in his hand, and said: "The master is too worried, if that's the case, he won't pawn his wife at the beginning." Zhen Baoyu patted his head and said, "The pawn period is coming, and the daytime is just in time - it seems to be specially embroidered for ransom." Ming'er went to Jiafu, and I personally went to see the Chinese Leng Zixing, and he went to inform the pawn Qiu Laibao. ”

Qiu Laibao was Feng Yuan's housekeeper back then, and the little master was wronged, and Laibao ended the five hundred taels of buried silver in the court. took out one hundred and ten taels to dismiss his family, came to buy the official mansion, sold himself, bought Feng Yuan's farmhouse, pulled the face, and opened his porcelain shop and Gonxiu Fang.

At that time, Jia Yucun issued a disciple and left his talisman. Menzi's wife, Zhenniang, was lonely and couldn't get through, so she sent the little girl out to the front street, took some work from the Gongxiu Fang, and did the work day and night. The people who came to protect a few rooms and gave birth to a child are all sisters, and they want to give birth to a child, but the real mother refuses, and she doesn't want to starve to death, so she just waits for her husband to come back.

Li Mancang, who was idle, went back and forth honestly, to take pity on him for being a poor virgin, not only was he not annoyed, but he also paid him more wages. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Gradually, he did not avoid receiving it, and entered the room, and how many unbearable gossip came out.

The real mother hanged herself and entered the nunnery as a nun. In the wine yesterday, Lai Bao also boasted to Zhao Jinbao: "The fruit of the gourd nunnery in Gusu City is my blood and bones, and I only lose one piece - the name cannot be stele." Let him accompany his mother to practice Buddhism and purify all sentient beings. I think that the sword was not old back then, no matter whether the media was marrying, or fornicating secretly, it was in my hands, and there was no one who did not give birth or raise! Now the age is not forgiving, I think it is an old man, in vain twenty taels of silver pawned the treasure embroidery, two years will be full, and I have not tossed out a cat and a dog! ”

Zhao Jinbao smiled and persuaded: "Brother Baodao is not old, I don't know." If you are really old, you have to stop, otherwise, Leng Zixing and I will go to grind our teeth with his husband for another year. Can this still be said? Lai Bao shook his head and sighed to himself: "There is always something in life, and there is nothing in life." ”

Zhao Jinbao still advised: "Why should my brother be discouraged? Dead wood sprouts in spring, it's a big deal to spend you ten taels of silver! Don't lose a big one because of a small one - these properties of Nuoda will not be surnamed Qiu in the future, but something else, under Jiuquan, you can't close your eyes, you can only stare dryly! ”

As soon as Lai Bao heard this, he sobered up half of the bluffing wine, and repeatedly entrusted Brother Zhao. Jinbao came back with a few pretense of the paper mill fan shop, took it out early the next morning, replaced a few old ones, washed his hands and walked to the porridge market opposite the Jinling Mansion, asked for a bowl of tofu flowers and Hu cakes, and scooped it down to eat.

The diners at the adjacent table put the bowl in their mouths, turned the bowl and drank a large mouthful of cheese and mung bean porridge, bit down the steamed cake, chewed and said to themselves: "Hu cake baked cake, it is better to steam cake; Thousands of eats, it's better to take a bite of hometown porridge! When he said that, he saw Zhao Jinbao looking at him with a smile, because he said with a smile: "It's been seven or eight years, and I still remember the taste of this place." Before dawn, I went straight from the ferry port to here. It's not to catch the tea market, it's to catch up with the porridge market! ”

Jin Bao said: "The local pronunciation is difficult to change, and the guest official was originally from Jinling?" Listening to your accent, mixed with the north and south, you must have seen a lot of the world, and there will be a lot of floating wealth in the world! Shamenhai said with a smile: "The turtle road is not as good as the snake road, the white road is not as good as the underworld, and this underworld is not as easy to walk as the official road." If you have money, you can buy * officials to do it, and if you have the right to make money, the official and businessman is the banker; Since you are a banker, why worry about starting and making a fortune? I think my brother is also a trader, how many of these little ghosts in Jinling Mansion drive donkeys and grind for my brother? ”

Jinbao blinked, got up and turned his back, Shamenhai looked behind him, and saw that there was a squad leader with a knife, soap boots and black belts, and a waist tag on his belt. When sitting, the waist card called the table to turn a top, stretched the tie, and slipped in the belly of the table, and no one noticed.

Shamen Haixin tied his waist card, asked for a bowl of tofu flowers, and ate the spring rolls, his eyes were slipping. As soon as he pressed the knife and got up, he watched him enter the palace and listen to the errand, and moved the bowl over the table. Step on the waist card, hit the spoon with your hand, and when you pick it up, put the waist card in your sleeve. I got up and paid the bill, walked into an alley with a broken head, and looked closely at the arched rectangular card.

The beeswax card is two inches wide, about three inches long, embossed with the pattern of deer and crane with spring, and there are ancient coins, firecrackers to convey the meaning of soaring; Bats and turtles pray for good fortune and longevity. The official book carved on the front is: should be decided by the Tianfu Yamen case, Cao Dutou Kong Fang; The back is engraved with two Chinese New Year's Eve, with a broad forehead and a flat top, square lips, narrow eyes and yellow beads, and thick eyebrows. Brand: two * Jiu, should be the main book of Tianfu a certain year, month and day system.

Shamenhai dug a hole on the spot, buried the waist card, and stepped on a few feet. Step out of the alley and return to the porridge market. Kong Fang walked over, hugged his fists and said: "Brother respect, stay in the porridge market, Kong and his brother have a relationship, so there is something urgent to ask." ”

Sha Menhai raised his hand and returned the salute, saying: "If you lose the seal letter, if it is used by the gangsters, the harm will be endless, and the official will come for the waist card." Xiaomin knew that it was powerful, so he chased after it. It's a pity that the guy is slippery and tight, turning left and right, the sound of hitting the west, and the little brother turned around and came east. I happened to meet my brother here, so it's good to tell me, so as not to make my brother mess around. ”

Kong Fang was like a drowning man seeing driftwood, snatching up Shamenhai and hurriedly asking questions. Menhai said: "The soldier is fast, please forgive the little brother for being rude, this will go ahead to intercept." Take back the waist card, and then ask my brother for sin. As he spoke, he broke free and strode away. Kong Fang couldn't catch up, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he thought about returning to his original place and being executed.

Shamenhai turned the street and drilled the alley, flashed into the secret door, and looked for the two scattered immortals to fool around. Swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, smoking two shots of Fu * Shou * ointment, shaking out, digging out the belt of the belt. As expected, he saw a monkey in the trap, looking there.

Sha Menhai panted and handed over the waist card, trampled on the ground with a mouthful, and scolded: "Li Mancang, who hoards Juqi, and Qiu Laibao of Gon Xiufang are the same raccoon dog!" As soon as you sing and harmonize, you have to ignore the beeswax brand of Brother Kong! The younger brother Xu used Xie Yin for twenty taels to protect his mouth, and Li Mancang saw the wind and raised the price, and insisted on forty taels! The younger brother was anxious when he thought of my brother, so he had to rely on it. ”

Kong Fang took it with both hands, lest he gain it and lose it, so he tied it firmly around his waist and inserted it into the belt. Shi Li said: "Beeswax is just valuable, lost the waist card, Shangguan reprimanded the matter, if you say in your heart, 'The waist card can't be seen, what else can you do', it is called playing in the cold palace, and it must not be reused!" Brother Xian, I don't dare to say thank you, if there is a dispatch in the three-foot realm of Jinling, I will do my best. ”

Sha Menhai was humble, "Why worry about it?" The road is not left behind, but it is the righteousness of a righteous man and a gentleman, and it is really hateful to pick it up! When Kong Fang heard this, he hated and said: "Brother Xian, do you know where the damned Qiu Laibao and Li Mancang are now!" ”

Menhai said: "The sky does not hide evil, and the ghost makes the gods send: the younger brother saw that someone sneakily moved grain and got off the car, and said that the Qincha patrol Yushi arrived in Jinling today, and they hid privately, there must be misdeeds, so they secretly followed, and unexpectedly saw Li Mancang pointing fingers! It was he who picked up the waist card, hid it and didn't report it, and was bent on taking it for himself! Kong Fang gritted his teeth and said: "If you have revenge, you will not revenge, you are not a gentleman!" ”

After that, he pointed to the drunken incense building, "Brother Xian, go upstairs to rest, just say my name and record it in my Kong Fang's account." Ming'er will be here for a while to express her gratitude. The foolish brother went to ask for the money of the virtuous brother, and told him to be greedy for small things and lose big ones, and beat the chickens and eggs! ”
