Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 136: Xia Jieqiu: The Adventures of Fake Stones

The two masters, Rong and Qiang, wanted to talk to their Uncle Bao, but the fake stone had already left Beijing.

It happened that Xiangyun was very interested in Bao's second brother's singing. Taking advantage of his morning and evening calmness, he asked him to sing two voices first, and then forced him to go to Xiaoguanzhuang to rehearse the opera.Daiyu couldn't understand Cousin Bao's face either, so she booed.Baochai must and must have provoked the fire from the sidelines, and the big revenge can't be avenged, so let's set fire to watch the fun!

Fake Stone couldn't bear to leave home early, anyway Wending was on the twelfth, so he fled two days earlier.

Liu Xianglian escorted him, wrong, he is the master this time, Baoyu is on the sidelines, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not.

They were going to invite Liu Xianglian's aunt's family to Rongfu to "appreciate osmanthus and chrysanthemums" on the first day of September: Xianglian and Tanchun were engaged quietly when they were engaged, and there was no such thing as making up wine, so Mrs. Wang wanted to hold a flower viewing feast. Therefore, it was disclosed that Xianglian was her son-in-law.The flower viewing banquet was postponed until next month, and the political lord had to be there, and he had just got up and had to take half a day off because of Baoyu's engagement, so the affairs of the concubine could only be arranged on the holiday.Huo Mu falls on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and the fifteenth day of this month happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and every family is reunited, so it is inconvenient to invite outside guests.

Aunt Liu married in Yongding County, although it is in the boundary of Shuntian Prefecture, it is a bit off, and it takes two days to run fast.A group of people set off on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year and must rush back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is a little more relaxed than non-stop.

The wind is clear and the sun is beautiful, and the entourage is Baoyu's fourth attendant, Qian Qi, the long follower, and Mo Yu, Liu Xianglian's disciple.

Second Master Bao's travel is so easy, firstly, there is Liu brother-in-law, the big bodyguard, and secondly, Xianglian's uncle, a small official. There are too many people going, and it is troublesome for them to entertain a meal, let alone accommodation.Therefore, before going to Lubao Xiucai, he preached that the inn was good, saying that he had never lived in an outer inn.Liu Xianglian sneered, saying that the small county inn was covered with rancidity and rats scurried away at night.Bao Xiucai wanted to live more and more, saying that he wanted to understand all kinds of bad things, so he turned around and encouraged Cousin Pan to open an inn.

Liu Xianglian wanted to teach her brother-in-law a lesson, but she was afraid that it would be ruined by tossing around, so she ran for half a day and found a tea shop on the side of the road.This shop is located by the reed pond, and there is no river or stream nearby. The food is well water, and the reed pond water is used. The color of the old stools and tables cannot be distinguished, as if a layer of pond mud has accumulated.The sun was shining at noon, flies were dancing, and the village dog was defecating with its legs crossed. It was not far from the field where people defecated, but there was a strange smell.There were even three or five tea drinkers staring at them as if looking at rare objects.

Qian Qi is the son of the Rong family, lacks knowledge, and stands there stupidly.The fourth waiter was a vagrant before, so he reacted quickly. He bought well water and rinsed and wiped it, and took a cloth towel from the luggage and spread it on the stool and table.

Mo Yu was Baoyu's former servant, who was busy with her, and warned her former master: "You can't eat tea from this kind of land, and you can't even use bowls, chopsticks, and tea cups. Use the water bag and dry food we bring, and let's go after a while. "

The fake stone reprimanded coldly: "Why can't we eat what other people eat? How can we reach Yongding without adding water? The water boils, boils, and pours the pot into the water bag. Don't pour everything into the water bag, the teapot spout needs to be Disinfect, pour out some boiling water first." After speaking, he sat down in a cold sweat, secretly glad that he didn't have a fever and abandoned his home to flee, he knew that wandering in ancient times was not a good thing, just unclean drinking water and unclean food can make people Pull dysentery, pull back and forth and die!

Liu Xianglian twisted the clean towel herself and handed it to him: "The well water is too cold, I can't wash my sweaty body, just wipe my hands and face."

False Stone followed good advice and asked, "Are there any better temples along the way? I'm afraid I can't live in an inn."

Liu Xianglian couldn't help laughing, and tapped her forehead: "Run faster in a while, I can reach Liu'an Temple before sunset."

The fake stone sighed: "I have always thought that there are too many temples, and monks and Taoists have land and do not pay taxes, which is not beneficial to the country and the people. But I never thought that no matter how bad the temples are, they are cleaner than the outside. They are like opening inns, and they spread good thoughts and stability. People's hearts."

Liu Xianglian shook her head: "People in the world respect ghosts and gods, so they respect monks and Taoism, yet you treat them as merchants! Don't dare to be careless, and pay attention to laymen who worship monks and worship Buddha and let their dogs bite you."

It is not known whether it is because the fake stone slandered the monk and Taoism, but the group was actually targeted by Xiao Xiao.

It's not surprising to say that Liu Xianglian looks like a good girl, with fake stone face and red lips.Mo Yu is a servant left behind by Shenying's waiter, so he is naturally good-looking, now he is Liu Xianglian's disciple, not a slave, and sits at the same table with Xianglian Baoyu.In the eyes of passers-by, it was three rich young masters who went out to play, and only brought five servants with them.

The four servants selected by the fake stone are ordinary, but Qian Qi is tall and mighty.The little guys think that a good man can't control a pack of wolves, so they decide to get a ticket: eight people and sixteen horses, one rides one pack, and they only need to grab a few pack horses to be prosperous.

The reason why "crumbs" are called "crumbs" and not gangsters is because they lack the awareness of throwing their heads and blood to fight for their lives, which leads to the fact that the level of robbery is far inferior to that of gangsters.

Each of Baoyu and his party brought an extra horse to ride alternately, in order to go faster.In addition to the key points of the water bag for the luggage, the rest are light things that may be used on the road. They didn't make a special trip to give gifts to Aunt Xianglian's house. OK?

Qian Qi opened the way and took the lead.Although he has never experienced the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes, at least he is a child practicing martial arts. The benefits of his facial features are beyond the reach of ordinary people. The big knife slashed at the vines with a roar.

Xiang Lian and Mo Yu also jumped off their horses and plundered towards the grass respectively.Liu Xianglian also greeted Shi Shiran: "I waited for my brother to pass through the treasure land, where can I meet my friends? Please see me!"

The "friends" in the rivers and lakes who were lurking in the thatch were rude and fled one by one.Naihe couldn't match the foot strength of Wu Juzi's master and apprentice, but when they heard ghosts crying and wolves howling shaking the mountains and fields, they were all beaten to the ground.

After a while, Liu Xianglian brought back one of the eyes to show to my brother-in-law.The fake stone had already been guarded by the four attendants, the panic was gone, and his face was calm, he put his hands behind his back and asked, "Which mountain is it?"

The leader kowtowed and answered irrelevant questions, claiming that he has an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. This year, there are many rains and insects. The crops in the field have been destroyed, and the taxes cannot be paid. Lord, spare his life.

Fake stones are not purely stupid people, but they think that only when there is a major disaster, the capital will hear about it. Small disasters and disasters are indispensable on weekdays. It is said that the farmer with his face on the loess and his back to the sky is extremely hard.

Liu Xianglian saw that her brother-in-law showed compassion, and angrily slapped the leader's face a few times, but unfortunately the leader's face opened a fruit shop.

Mo Yu sneered: "I have an eighty-year-old concubine and a three-year-old thin dog, who happened to be penniless today, but I didn't catch a single bird all the way, and the thin dog ran away without a trace. I beg my friends to enjoy wild vegetables. !"

At this time, Qian stammered and ran back, gesticulating and telling: "Master... Qian Qian Qian Qian..."

Liu Xianglian interrupted: "There is a trap for catching rabbits! Yu'er, throw this rabbit into the pit and squat."

Mo Yu took the order and left.The fake stone didn't stop him, he just sighed quietly.In fact, he doesn't have so much kindness, somehow, he will habitually pretend to be kind in front of Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian is used to teaching her little brother-in-law, coldly discussing the clothes and old-fashioned rhetoric of the little boys, and using the crop growth along the road as evidence, pointing out that the little boys are just rogues in the countryside who don't do their jobs.

Because they didn't know how many traps the gangsters had dug, and the clever traps could not be seen at a glance, they simply led the horse and walked for two or three miles.This delay made it difficult to arrive at Liu'an Temple before sunset.

Qian Qideng did his homework before leaving. It was Mrs. Wang who ordered Zhou Rui to help him prepare for this journey. The location of relatives and friends in Rongfu, as well as the location of Zhuangzi, the public middle shop of Rongfu.The reason for bringing in relatives and friends is that there are very few villages and shops in Rongfu in Shuntian Prefecture. Fortunately, although there are no shops on the road ahead, there is one village, which belongs to the old Jia's family. Refuse customers.

In this way, a group of people rushed to the village wearing stars and moons.Zhuangtou hadn't rested yet, so he came here in fear.

So Master Bao got warm water to take a bath, eat, drink and sleep well.Before going to sleep, I thought of the secret villages of him and Lian Er, and wondered when I would make an excuse to go on a study tour.

A good night's sleep and rising to the morning light.Zhuangtou has prepared breakfast and leads his children to serve it.One of them, Twelve and Thirteen, was dressed in red and willow green, with shy eyebrows and eyes.Fake Stone is unhappy, it doesn't matter if you flatter him, and brother-in-law Liu!So they stripped off their clothes in two or three, smirking and ordered Shi Yan to reward Zhuangtou, dragged his brother-in-law and ran out.

As soon as he walked outside, the fake stone was stunned: except for the Zhuangtou's house, which was a brick and tile house, the rest were earth walls and thatched roofs.Although the children running all over the ground were not skinny, they were not fat, and all of them were naked.

Liu Xianglian took a look and patted him on the shoulder: "That's right, in the Zhuangzi villages I've been to, most of them only have huts, and they will be blown down when the wind is strong. Children of this age in the countryside are not naked in hot weather. What? Even if the family is not so poor that they don’t even have a decent piece of clothing, I’m afraid they will waste it in vain.”

Baoyu was silent, he had only been to Zhuangzi on the edge of the capital, which was the other courtyard of the political lord, and from time to time the fake father would take Qing Ke Xianggong to recite poems and fight against him.I don't know where Lian's second general, Wang Ren, is stuffed. Wang Ba, who deserves to die and die again, should stay in this kind of Zhuangzi.

Liu Xianglian thought he thought of Jia Huan, and it was a bit unpleasant.Baoyu didn't tell Jia Huan what he did. Jia Lan, Jia Zhu, Qin Zhong and others used to help hide it. They went to Jia Huan and broke the leg of Mr. Zheng.

Liu Xianglian didn't expect her fiancée's younger brother to be so bad, murdering her father and brother should be beaten to death!After hearing that Mrs. Wang "slipped" and leaked that Jia Huan almost ruined Tanchun's face, she wished she could expose him, and she would not feel sorry for Jia Huan being sent to the village.In his capacity, it was inconvenient to scold Jia Huan to his brother-in-law, so he called Zhuang Ding to bring the horse quickly.

Gossip aside.Today they didn't miss Sutou, and rushed to the Mijue Temple outside Yong'an County at dusk.

The county seat is right in front of you, why not enter?One of the reasons why the gate of the city may have been closed is that it is mainly because Xianglian's aunt's house is inconvenient to receive her.Although I passed the message when the servant gave the boxing gift, it was uncertain when it would be, and it would be troublesome for people to prepare meals if they ran away at night.It's not that Zhuangzi has ready-made vegetables, fruits, chickens, ducks and geese.

Liu Xianglian often stays at Mijue Temple, and when she enters the temple gate, she greets the novice monks by familiar ways.

The little novice monks were all smiling, and ran forward to help lead the horses, and some ran to the kitchen with their throats open.

In the commotion, a monk turned out from the corner of the eaves.The fake stone looked like it was struck by lightning: the monk's head was covered with sores, and the lame man was covered in muddy water. Aren't these two immortals who specialize in deception in the world of red chambers?

He was stunned there, and Liu Xianglian also looked suspicious: "You...it's you?!"

The fake stone ran forward and stood in front of her brother-in-law—in the original book, Liu Xianglian ran away with a Taoist priest!

I saw him roaring with hatred: "Practice should cultivate compassion, what kind of immortals are you, Miaomiao and Kongkong?! You lost your wife (Zhen Shiyin was abducted by this pair), and your elderly parents lost their children (taking Shenying's waiter away caused He penetrated into the red building) and made his loving mother worry about her daughter to death (he wanted to abduct Daiyu, but Jia Min was very worried because of his fairy words, and his early death may have something to do with it), you are called devils! Let me tell you, life It's not a dream, it's not empty, I think, therefore I am! But I have human nature, and I will never enter your broken door!"

A monk looked him up and down together, and the monk asserted: "This is an idiot."

Dao Yan: "No. It is you and me who are extraordinary in appearance and spirit, and were introduced by this Tanyue as old friends."

Liu Xianglian laughed softly: "It really is you!" She clasped Baoyu's shoulders again: "They should be 'immortals' who save themselves but not others. Hurry up and wash away the wind and dust, and go to our place for a glass of vegetarian wine later .”

Baoyu was in doubt, but Liu Xianglian just smiled and took him to the guest room.

There is a water well outside the guest room, Liu Juzi is not afraid of the cold and heat, and swings the rope to lift the water and rush to the body.Baoyu had to wait for the kitchen to wash up with hot water, so he took the hot tea sent by the little novice and poured it indiscriminately, feeling a little restless.

After a while Liu Xianglian entered the room with her wet hair, squinting at each other: "Happiness and anger are invisible! It's not that I don't say it, but it's not easy to say it in public. You should have heard of that Taoist priest, a famous actor in the capital, named Qi Guan, a play was favored by Zhongshun Wang Lao Qiansui, and he became the Xiaodan of the Wangfu troupe. However, he is unruly by nature, and he would run away every once in a while!"

The boss of the fake stone opened his mouth: "Jiang, Jiang Yuhan?!"

Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's 'Old Old'! Not many people know his real name. I met him when I played in a play, and I only found out about it by chance after more than a year."

How dare he not remember Jiang Yuhan?Because of this kid, Shenying's waiter was beaten violently by the lord Zheng, and he absolutely planned to back away from Qi Guan'er for three miles!That Shenying didn't cultivate, and she was very ambiguous with Qiguan'er. The two exchanged sweat towels that were tied with small clothes. Shenying took the ones given to Qiguan by the king of Beijing County. Mess!He hastily cut off the marriage between Xian Xiren and an actress. Now that Xiren is married and living a good life, he doesn't want to see someone surnamed Jiang.

So he fixed his gaze on Brother-in-law Liu: "I heard that Prince Zhongshun said, 'If there are a hundred other actors, it's fine, Qiguan is very suitable for me, and I definitely can't do without this person'. I'm afraid of trouble, let's not drink that glass of water. drink."

Liu Xianglian waved her hand: "It's okay. The old thousand-year-old seat is a newcomer replacing an old one. In June, Qiguan became a monk in Xuanzhen Temple, and all the old friends were very impressed. I went to Xuanzhen Temple to look for him. He has held Du Die went out to travel abroad. I still thought about his appearance, and Yunyou was afraid that he would cause a lot of trouble, but unexpectedly he dressed up like this. Thinking about how clean he is, I can bear it."

Fake Shitou blinked his eyes wildly, thinking that Xianglian would not leave the house, and replace him with another beautiful boy?Suddenly Liu Xianglian asked: "Who is Miaomiao Kongkong you are talking about?"

Fake Stone paused, and said vaguely: "The monks and priests I met by chance wanted to help me become a monk, but I scolded them and ran away. They said those things themselves. If you are interested, I will tell you later."

"Passing the meeting" was because he saw Shi Song Shi Zhu carrying two loads of boiling water coming over, and also because he wanted to adapt it so that his brother-in-law Liu would feel disgusted with becoming a monk.

Liu Xianglian hurriedly went to fetch the well water, Shi Mo set up a big bucket, Shi Yan dug out the saponins to change clothes and so on.

If he was at home, Fake Stone would never want these many people to wash his hair and bathe him, but after two days of running fast, his waist is sore and his legs are weak, and he wants to order his servants to help him loosen his bones.

There are many people, and the fake stones are soaked in the bucket in a blink of an eye.There is a servant who does not need him to do it, Liu Xianglian urges him to talk about Miaomiaokongkong.

The fake stone started the lecture: Yinglian disappeared, and her father, Zhen Shiyin, shrunk down to a young man of less than twenty. Not long after he got married, he was abducted by a monk together, and his lovely wife chased after him and cried.The monks and Taoists sang the "good song", saying that Zhen Shiyin was a lonely man, and that he should be able to break the world with a sword when he was young and his father and mother were under control; It is in accordance with the destiny.

Although Liu Xianglian is not "youke's father", he is "Shaoke's parents and grandmother", and Tanchun's fate is vaguely "concubine of the palace", but he was very angry, and said coldly: "Someone has taken a fancy to that young man." The two kidnappers are not monks, they are out-and-out kidnappers! You have kidnapped a boy and his wife has no one to rely on, so the bully who hired them can be a concubine! You are eyeing you because you seem to be ignorant of the world There is a kind of kidnapper who abducts good-looking young men, and may be sold to some dirty place! Where and when did you meet them?"

Serious?Wouldn't it be chivalrous rushing to catch the kidnapper?That's a quick catch, Hugh!

Fake Stone continued to rewrite the story, and said with a look of fear: "How could such a thing happen? I didn't expect it! I was shopping in Jinling that year, and when I was ten years old, I followed Lian's second brother to Jinling..."

The author has something to say: Fake stone: If I abandon my home and run away, this will be my appearance.Ah~~ Walking around the world with bare feet...
