Chapter 846: Overturning the vinegar vat
Several of the attendants looked at the young man, and the young man said, "I won't eat the wine."
But he called a walking attendant, whispered a word, and then the entourage took out the ink inkstone and sharpened the ink, the young man took a pen and paper and wrote a few lines, signed his name, and handed it to the entourage to fold it into a post, and put it in a convex red cloth bag, the young man made a look, and he asked the man to lead the way towards the donkey meat restaurant, squeezing away the crowd of onlookers, only to see Mei Bin in a wedding dress and a red hijab on his head were holding a ceremony.
The attendant refused to wait, and approached the red tea directly, saying that a guest had entrusted me to bring you a wedding gift, and then stuffed the red cloth bag in his hand into the red tea hand. She asked, "Can you tell me the name of the guest?"
The attendant said, "You can find out when you open the red cloth bag." Red said thank you, and the attendant turned and left.
Hongdi waited until Mei Bin lifted her red hijab and bowed to heaven and earth, father and mother, and husband and wife, before opening the red cloth bag, which was a ball of silver with white flowers, she was puzzled, which one gave such a heavy gift? She didn't think about it, but she paid attention to the paper post, opened it and read, it read: Hongdi, I wish you a happy wedding! Prepare a small gift, not a tribute, but also hope to smile. Linxiang County Order: Ma Wencai Hand Sink. Meng Qiu in the Xin Chou year of the lunar calendar.
Ma Wencai - Hong Di repeatedly recited the person she couldn't see, she counted it, this silver totaled 500 taels, which can make her heart ape, is Ma Wencai still interesting to herself? Otherwise, how could he give such a heavy gift?
At this time, the heart of the bride is no longer on sifting sugar tea and sprinkling candy on the guests, but on Ma Wencai, whom she has not seen for a long time. Ma Wencai has made a county order, is he married now? One question after another distracted her, so that when Mei Bin carried the tea tray with her, she looked at the guest in a daze, Mei Bin pushed her, and she almost fell. Mei Bin said what are you thinking?
Oh! I didn't think much of it. Hongdi looked surprised, causing the guests who were watching her to laugh and laugh about it.
She only told Mei Bin that the paper that someone had sent 500 taels of silver as a gift for their marriage, Mei Bin knew that someone had sent a red cloth bag, he didn't look at it carefully, he thought it was sent by Bao Laizi's relatives and friends, and he didn't care. But Hongdi got this special gift, especially the paper post, and her heart went to Ma Wencai, so she naturally treated Mei Bin coldly, and even on the wedding night, she rejected Mei Bin on the grounds that she was too tired.
Mei Bin pondered left and right, and never knew what the problem was. For a few days, he took care of the red tu, and the red tube was always absent-minded, his eyes looked out the window in a daze, and his slender hands crossed from time to time to touch the bulging purse on his chest. What's inside? Mei Bin asked silently in her heart. He really wanted to open the purse to see, but if he wanted to open it forcibly, he would definitely cover it tightly with both hands, so he wanted to find an opportunity.
That night, Hongdi fell asleep, and Mei Bin also pretended to be asleep, and when Hongdi snored lightly, sure that she had slept deep enough, she quietly got up and took out something from the purse of Hongdi's blouse that was placed next to the bed, nothing else, a paper post.
He took it to the outside of the house to light the candle and saw that it was a paper note written by Ma Wencai to Hongdi. There was no malice in the words above, but Mei Bin considered that the reason why Hongdi was cold to him was because of this. When Hong Di saw the note, she thought that Ma Wencai was still thinking about her, and her heart naturally had an old love for him.
Mei Bin wanted to tear the paper to shreds, but she felt that it was inappropriate. So he put out the candle and went into the house from the outside to feel for the paper and put it back in its place. But he didn't feel good in his heart, considering what gift Ma Wencai gave Hongdi, didn't it say in the paper post? He went to bed again, sleepless, and overheard the name of Ma Wencai called in Hongdi's dream, he got angry, pinched Hongdi's nose, and woke her up.
Hongdi was still sleepy, so Mei Bin asked angrily: Ma Wencai, what gift did you give?
Hongtu didn't answer.
Mei Bin asked and pushed her, but she really woke up and said: What are you asking? It disturbed me a good dream, I dreamed that Marven gave me a copy of the "Daughter's Sutra", which is good, I was reading, but I woke up, it's a pity.
Hey! You think of him in your dreams, but you only have him and not me in your heart. Hongdi didn't fight back, Mei Bin continued to ask: What gift did Ma Wencai give you?
How about 500 taels of silver? Red screamed.
Wow, you still have a relationship with Ma Wencai. Mei Bin shouted uncomfortably as if he had knocked over the vinegar vat.
On the morning of the first day, in the county government court, Ma Wencai, who was wearing official uniforms and had a dignified appearance, was discussing with several small officials. After a while, the official reported: There is a young man at the outer gate who wants to meet with the Ma County Order.
The magistrate of Ma County said to the officials: Let the man state the matter in a letter, and there is no need to meet face to face. The official went, and when it was near noon, he returned and said, "The man refused to go, saying that he had to meet the county order."
Ma Wencai was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and said: You go and ask him if he has any grievances to sue the official?
The official nodded and went. After a while, he returned and said that the man was not a grievance, but just wanted to talk to Ma Xianling in person.
Ma Wencai was displeased, and said to the officials: I only said that the county was too busy with official business and had no time.
In the afternoon, Ma Wencai came to the hall and was shaking a sandalwood fan to enjoy the cool while discussing with the officials in the ya. The official came to report again, saying that the man would not leave without seeing the county order. Ma Wencai got up from his seat, walked around the table with his hands upside down, looked at the servant and said: Since this is the case, let the man come in! But call two samurai to keep an eye on him.
After only half a cup of tea, a short man was held hostage by two samurai and came to the Yanai Public Hall.
The man saw Ma Wencai and said unceremoniously: You are Ma County Order?
Ma Wencai said: This official is exactly. Who are you? What is the last name? What do you want to tell me personally?
The man snorted and said: I am a person surnamed Mei in this county, called Mei Bin, I have never known you in my life, and you have done good deeds.
Ma Wencai saw that he was talking against him and complaining, so he asked: What did the official do wrong? You can be straightforward.
Daring! A tall warrior looked at Mei Bin and shouted.
Ma Wencai waved his hand and said let him speak!
Mei Bin said: Do you know Bao Hongdi? She has become my wife, and you should not make a bad deal out of it and ruin our relationship as husband and wife.
What do you mean by that? Ma Wencai asked with a frown in surprise.
On the day of our wedding, you repaired a book for Bao Hongdi and gave a token, what are you not destroying our husband and wife's relationship? Mei Bin said aggressively.
After Ma Wencai heard this, he laughed, he walked up to Mei Bin, and said that your lady used to be my student and had a crush on me, but I didn't accept that feeling. It just so happened that day that I passed by the donkey meat restaurant and learned that she was married to you, I was very happy, so I wrote a congratulatory message, and with 500 taels of silver as a gift, I asked an entourage to give it to her, what's wrong with this?
The two samurai and the officials in the hall both cast teasing glances at Mei Bin.
Mei Bin was still very annoyed and said: My lady looked at the paper post and the congratulatory gift, and she was confused, thinking that you still had feelings for her, and put me aside coldly, and even dreamed of your name at night.
Is there such a thing? Ma Wencai returned to her original seat and said that I would repair another book and give her a lecture.
No way! Absolutely not! Mei Bin roared: Not only will it not work if you do this, but it will also provoke her old feelings.
Ma Wencai suddenly recalled that when he was teaching in Xiaguancun School, Bao Hongdi's behavior when he came into contact with him was so obsessed, and he thought that what Mei Bin said made some sense. He said: "In this way, the well water of my husband and wife does not interfere with the river water, and after a long time, won't Bao Hongdi's impulse subside? Why do you want to go to court for such a trivial matter?
This is a small matter for you, the county magistrate, but it is a big thing for our family. Mei Bin was still chattering.
Drop-off! As soon as Ma Wencai raised his hand, the two warriors carried Mei Bin out of the court and expelled him from the yamen.
