The Romance of the West Chamber: The Bells are Ringing

Zhang Sheng and Qintong moved to Pujiu Temple, which is located near the west wing. After eating the vegetarian meal, Zhang Sheng sat leisurely in the room, holding a book and wanted to read it, but he couldn't read it anyway.

The piano boy brought clean hot water from outside the house and came in to wash the scholar. When he saw the scholar resting his chin on his hand and staring blankly out of the window, thoughtfully, he couldn't help but laugh. He coughed lightly and said, "Langjun, I see you." I also held the book backwards, I guess I have already learned it by heart and memorized it like a pro."

Zhang Sheng was startled by the piano boy. He loosened his hand holding his chin and almost hit his head on the table. He said angrily: "You dog slave, what are you doing to me?"

"Haha, Mr. Lang, didn't you say that we are called master and servant, but we are actually brothers? It's okay to make noises, right?" Qintong deliberately teased him.

Zhang Sheng was looking forward to meeting Yingying when he was interrupted by the piano boy. He lost his temper and said sullenly: "You dog slave, you disturb my peace and quiet, please let me call you!" He waved the folding fan in his hand, He was going to hit Qintong on the head.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Qin Tong quickly said, "Mr. Lang, don't be upset! Do you still want to see your female Bodhisattva?"

When Zhang Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but put down the folding fan and said curiously: "Oh? What kind of crooked idea do you, a dog slave, have? Let me tell you."

"It seems like you don't mean much, so forget it." Qintong pretended to be disappointed and walked out of the house.

Zhang Sheng grabbed Qin Tong's clothes and said with a smile on his face: "Hey, dog, no, Zong Dan, you and I brothers, please stay out of sight! You also know that I, Zhang Gong, am thinking about it day and night. That's how I can see my little lady Yingying. I'm so close to the west wing but can't get in. I'm really anxious. Zongdan, you must have some good ideas. Tell your brother quickly, I don't know. I’ll treat you badly.”

"Oh, okay then." Qintong nodded and said, "Mr. Lang, I asked the monks and they said that this little lady Yingying would burn incense and pray in the garden of the west wing every night. This The garden is shared with the Pujiu Temple."

Zhang Sheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh? That's great!"

"When this little lady Yingying comes out, you can wait at the corner next to the Taihu Stone in the garden and take a good look at your female Bodhisattva!" Qin Tong said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhang Sheng excitedly slapped the folding fan on the table and said, "Okay, okay, okay! You bitch slave! No, Zong Dan! You are so clever! You are really my good brother, hahaha!"

He picked up the folding fan and walked out of the house, saying, "Then I'll wait for my female Bodhisattva!"

The piano boy grabbed Zhang Sheng and said, "Don't worry, those monks don't know whether they are sleeping or not, so don't disturb them. Otherwise, don't talk about seeing your female Bodhisattva. Maybe even this will happen." I won’t lend you any room to live in.”

"Well, what should we do then?" Zhang Sheng put down his raised foot and frowned.

Qin Tong said: "I have to go to the stable to feed the horses, and to fetch water from the well. I walk around frequently, so no one will think it's strange. You sit down for a while while I go out and take a look. If the monks in the monk's rooms on both sides of the corridor have fallen asleep, Then you can feel free and bold to wait and see your female Bodhisattva!"

"Well, this is a great plan!" Zhang Sheng said, "Then there will be Lao Gou, ah, no, there will be brother Lao Zongdan! You have to come back quickly!"

The piano boy shook his head, turned around and left the house, walking quietly through the corridor. The moonlight was clear, and the monks' rooms on both sides were hidden in the shadows. There was no light and no sound. I think the monks had to do morning lessons early in the morning and went to bed early.

The piano boy went to the stable to add a handful of grass to the white horse, caressed the horse's neck, and said: "Horse, horse, let's see what this debaucher does today!"

The monk in the temple was quite nice today and gave me a meal. It seems that the name of Pujiu Temple is worthy of its name.

I simply put the cake in my arms and gave it to the horse to eat, which was considered as a reward.

After watching the horse finish eating, Qintong patted the horse and said, "Ma'er, Ma'er, just have a good rest. I have to go and do some work." After that, he walked to Zhang Sheng's room.

Unexpectedly, a pair of eyes silently watched the piano boy walk away in the darkness until he was out of sight. The figure flashed out and followed him.

Those eyes followed Qin Tong. When he saw Qin Tong coming to Zhang Sheng's house, he patted the door gently. Zhang Sheng said anxiously in the room: "You dog, no, ah, Zong Dan, you are back, I am so worried."

The piano boy pushed open the door and came in. Zhang Sheng had already come to greet him and asked, "How is it? Are all these bald thieves asleep?"

"Look at how anxious you are!" Qintong shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Lang, please rest assured. I've seen that the monks have all fallen asleep. I'm not sure whether they are asleep or not, but there is no one in the whole temple. People move around.”

Zhang Sheng said happily: "Okay, okay! Let's go to the garden quickly!" After that, he walked away.

The piano boy grabbed Zhang Sheng and said, "Wait a minute, do you know where the garden is? Just rush out, but don't rush to the abbot. The abbot will catch you and hold you down to preach, hehe!"

"This is indeed true. I really don't know where the garden is." Zhang Sheng scratched his head while holding the fan bone, and said, "Dog, ah, Zong Dan, you must have found out clearly, right? Take me there quickly. , don’t delay Miss Yingying when she comes out to burn incense.”

Qin Tong nodded and said with a smile: "That's natural. I've already found out. Otherwise, I might not be able to find this guy who is just fooling around." He pulled Zhang Sheng behind him and said, "Just follow me. Remember to walk lightly and don’t make a big fuss.”

"Okay!" Zhang Sheng said with an excited grin.

Qintong looked back at him with a frown, put his finger on his lips and said, "Shh! Be gentle! Do you want to go to the abbot or the garden?"

"Garden, garden, hey hey hey!" Zhang Sheng lowered his voice, nodded and smiled, and put the folding fan in front of his mouth as he spoke.

Qintong shook his head and walked out. Zhang Sheng followed closely and walked out. He was new here and not very familiar with it. He stumbled on the threshold, jumped forward, and lay on the piano boy's back.

The piano boy quickly supported him, sighed softly, and whispered: "Be careful!" He turned around and closed the door gently, thinking in his heart: "This scholar, I can see the little lady Yingying." , then he lost his mind."

The piano boy led the way, leading Zhang Sheng through the cloister, around the monk's room, and in a long circle from the bell tower, before stopping in front of a moon gate. When Zhang Sheng saw this, he quickly stepped back and stood there. Behind Qintong.

Qintong looked in and saw no one around, so he turned back and winked at Zhang Sheng, indicating that this was the garden.

Zhang Sheng was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to pull Qintong aside, and shouted in a low voice: "Go, go, go, you bitch slave, don't stop me from seeing the female Bodhisattva! Get away!" He straightened his clothes and opened the folding fan gently. , put up a posture, and walked in slowly.

Qintong was about to say something to remind Zhang Sheng, but he didn't expect the scholar to cross the river and destroy the bridge like this. He felt depressed and kept silent.

Zhang Sheng took a step forward and accidentally made the same mistake again. He tripped on the threshold and fell forward. Zhang Sheng was startled and opened his mouth to scream.
