[Water Margin Derivatives] Yulou people are drunk with apricot flowers

Unexpectedly, in the city of Tokyo, Mama Li's sister saw her elder sister fleeing with her family, and she was not very happy. The first two days were better. After all, she was a sister born of the same mother. She never made it difficult for Mama Li. , but she is indifferent to the sisters under her control. There are only two sisters, Li Gui and Li Jiaoer. Hide in other sister's room.

The rest of the sisters are even more embarrassed, they often live in groups of three or five, making it even more difficult to attract guests.Or one day, when one and a half customers were recruited, Mother Li's sisters would do everything possible to get her sisters under her command to snatch them away, or ask the sisters of the Li family in Yanggu County to stay alone.

Originally, the sisters brought by Mother Li were not very good-looking, but now they are treated so coldly, and most of them are discouraged.In the end, only Mama Li was left, together with Li Jiaoer and Sister Gui, who were reluctantly dependent on her sister to get by.

Sister Li Gui saw that her mother was out of touch this time, and she was inevitably depressed. She also saw that Li Shishi lived alone in a three-story embroidery building, and the rest of the sisters lived in one room, and she was from Yanggu County. The top card is now just as good as a half-old Xu Niang, and every day, she only complains about her mother's ignorance, and the good Yanggu County doesn't wait, she has to sharpen her head and drill into the gentle and rich village of Shishu Zanying , In the end, the cost was lost, and it was self-defeating.

This day, I had no business with Li Jiaoer, and I was doing needlework together in the room, and I heard that other rooms outside were full of singing and dancing every night, so I felt impatient, because I said to Li Jiaoer:

"At that time, my aunt also advised me, saying that if I came, I might meet that official Zhao's family, but now it's a good thing, let alone the real master, I won't even be able to see Li Shishi's face.

We have been here for more than a month, and the whole family died and fled. In the end, there are only three orphans left, and all the capital was given to my aunt. Even if you took our capital, we would not dare to be heartbroken If you think about it in a crooked way, what you do is just give some broken cakes for a day, and the leftovers are cold, even if they are beggars sent by wealthy families in Tokyo, they are better than what we eat! "

Then Li Jiaoer came to Beijing with Li Mama this time, originally intending to find out where her man is going, who knows how solemn and solemn the Sanfasi Yamen is when she enters the city, she went there once that day, and she hasn't left yet When I got closer, I was interrogated by the soldiers and yamen servants at the head of the gate, which made Li Jiaoer lie that she was from a province. The lady who often heard about books mentioned this place, and she came to see it with admiration.

The soldier saw that she was not well-dressed, so he smiled frivolously and said, "Sister, since you are from another province, I won't make things difficult for you. See, no one dares to walk around at will within a hundred steps or so. Five elements, eight works, three teachings and nine streams, no one dares to set up a stall in this place to shout, if you want to see the excitement, go to Xiaoyu Street, where there are many beauties and talented men, how can you come here to join in this false excitement..."

Li Jiaoer blushed with embarrassment, quickly helped the little girl, turned around and left in a hurry, only to realize that she had made a wrong calculation this time, and she couldn't even see her husband's face. The family has no capital, and living here under the fence of others, I often feel sorry for myself in my heart.

Now I heard my niece say this, because I sighed: "The Li family in Goulan, Tokyo is our relatives. It's not easy for the slave family to say these things about her, but they don't care about their relatives at all. It's just me, an outsider. Looking at it, I felt a little chilled in my heart.

When I first came here, my elder sister was long and my elder sister was short, and they called me so affectionately. By the time our money was used up, my sister and son had almost spent it. If we don’t see her being trampled on by a nobleman again, that young lady is also good at showing off. Damn, my own aunt came here after traveling all the way, and she didn't ask you to have a big banquet and set up a banquet to entertain guests, she just came out to see each other. Today she said she was not good, and tomorrow she said business There are so many, it seems that we have traveled thousands of miles to see her, and we really regard ourselves as the empress of the West Palace..."

The two were happily talking, when they heard the butcher shouting in the firewood house in the backyard, which sounded like a woman's voice, so Li Jiaoer hurriedly asked Sister Gui, "Why, when will this Goulan courtyard be completed?" Is it a battlefield for killing?"

Sister Gui smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm afraid it's my aunt who is teasing the new sister again. Otherwise, people say that the Li family in Goulan in Tokyo is the leader of fireworks, such as our Yanggu Li family, although they are also The school is a leader, but my mother is a little bit soft-hearted and won't let her die.

On that day, I was ordered to show my face, because I refused to obey, but my mother never forced me, because she said to me: "Girl, now that you are grown up, our Li family can't compare with the good girls outside, and they pay attention to the orders of their parents." As the matchmaker said, you were born in Leji, and your life is hard enough, and now your mother will not make it difficult for you. You can choose whichever family you choose, and your mother will depend on you. '

Later, after half a year of cold-eyed selection, I finally settled on the official Ximen of your family. He is also a gentleman who knows the cold and the hot, but it is a pity that he is now held in the South Prison, and his fate is unknown... ..." He let out a long sigh.

Li Jiaoer heard the words and spat: "Xiaolangtizi, if you don't tell me, I'd forget. I've treated you like my own girl since I was a child, but you will be double-faced and steal other men behind my back." Sister Li Gui also laughed when she said that.The two were talking and laughing, when they heard a commotion in the woodshed behind them, a woman's voice cried:

"The slave family is not a happy family. How can you force me to do such a dirty and shameless thing? I am Chen Jingji's wife and Ximen Qing's daughter. I am the noble lady of a rich family. How can you humiliate me at will!"

When Li Jiaoer heard this, they were taken aback. Jiaoer asked Sister Gui in a low voice: "You heard what that woman said just now, but you mentioned the name of a high official?"

Sister Gui also nodded when she heard the words, and said: "I vaguely heard her say that she is 'Chen Jingji's wife, Ximen Qing's daughter', could it be that your eldest sister is not good enough?" Get off the kang with your shoes, and run to the firewood room at the back.

When I got to the front of the gate, I saw a few guys and thugs surrounded inside and out, and a few girls who were not doing business in the courtyard came to join in the fun. I saw a woman, stripped to only her little clothes and trousers, tied up naked. In the firewood room, the mouth is still crying.

Mother Li's sister held a whip in her hand, lifted her skirt up high, her ankles were exposed, her white legs were kicking on a small round stool, she said with a sneer:

"I advise my sister to know what is interesting, don't care what your origin is, even the mother of the country, Zheng Niangniang, relies on men to dress and eat. Now your man has pressed his fingerprints and sold you to the music book. If you don't redeem yourself Yinzi, don't even think about leaving your citizenship in this life!"

When the woman heard this, she refused to let her go and cried: "You are unreasonable, mother-in-law. How many times have I told you that we are from Yanggu County, Shandong Province. This time I went to the city to seek relatives, and I didn't want to meet bad people on the way. , killed my husband, the document was clear that they took the corpse and pressed it with their hands. Now that everyone is dead, how do you sell me?

Although my Ximen family is down and down, my father has not been convicted yet, and I am still a lady of the official family. If you know what is interesting, you will send me to the post house and settle me. When my father is wronged in the future, your benefits will naturally be indispensable. . "

Mother Li's sister laughed and said: "Sister, you said that your father is a senior official from the fourth rank, don't dream of your spring and autumn dreams, I was born as a government prostitute in Xiaonu's family, can you deceive me?

Let alone the fourth rank now, among the official prostitutes, there are many concubines and children from the families of the first-rank officials. Just because the father and brother have done something bad, even those who marry into the Houmen palace will be implicated and sold to Goulan Wasi At the office, hang up the water sign to pick up the guests, I advise you to save some troubles, the hero Moti was brave in the past, and it was a heart disease to say it, so why bother to humiliate yourself, all the past, just treat it as a dream.Encouraging to receive customers now, it is impossible to save money for redemption within a few years, and then remarry from a good man, how happy and happy, just crying like this is not the answer. "

After hearing this, the woman refused to obey, but still kept crying. The sister of Mama Li who was talking about it became impatient and annoyed, so she raised her whip and said bitterly: "I'll let you know what it means to be a human heart like iron today, you little rascal." It is not like iron, but the law is like a furnace!"

As he said, he raised his whip and was about to greet the woman Bai Shengsheng, but he heard a coquettish cry from outside: "Yiniang, move slowly, I look at it, this girl looks like an old friend!"

The sister of Mama Li turned her head and saw Li Jiaoer and Sister Gui, who separated from the crowd and squeezed in. The two sides are separated, and the golden face is exposed. When you look at it intently, who is it if it is not Ximen?

The circles of her eyes turned red, and she asked in a low voice, "Are you the elder sister?" The woman was tortured so faintly that sometimes she hadn't beaten her teeth for several days.Hearing this voice was somewhat familiar, he managed to open his wonderful eyes and looked up, as if he had seen a living Bodhisattva, he said hoarsely:

"Are you Erniang? Erniang, the slave's family is the eldest sister. Why is Erniang here? Could it be that the slave's family has returned to that life, and this time she has seen a real immortal and manifested her holiness..."

Li Jiaoer heard this and said: "Are you really a big sister? Why did you end up here?" As she spoke, she quickly stretched out her hand to untie her restraints, and without much thought, she took off her bijia and met her She covered her body and hugged her to comfort her.

Facing Mama Li's sister, she said: "Auntie, this is the daughter of my family's relatives, just like my own daughter. Now I ask my auntie for mercy, and I have to ask my family to take her in to freshen up first. I don't care if I ask my aunt to accompany her. It’s all about money.”

When Li Gui saw the eldest sister, she also felt grateful for her father's love and care for her when she was there, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, please forgive me, this lady is the daughter of an official family. She is a fierce woman, and now she just Ask her to put up a board to pick up customers when she passes through the door, not to mention a girl born in a good family, even a lowly family born in a happy family like a slave family can't obey her..."

Mother Li's sister suppressed the reasoning for their mothers, and heard that they were Li Jiaoer's relatives again, so it was hard to tear her face. Besides, she was a little guilty of taking a lot of money from the Li family, so she had to reluctantly nodded and said:

"Since that's the case, the little slave's family will make it easier for you and yourself. I'll ask you to take the person there first, but it's not good to just prevaricate the slave's family. If it delays for a year or a half, you will have to ask your mother to prostitute you according to the day." Talented people." Saying that, they left with a group of guys and girls.

The eldest sister Ximen survived this time, she thanked Li Jiaoer and Sister Gui repeatedly, Li Jiaoer smiled and said: "Now don't be too busy to be polite to us, I'm afraid you may have been frightened a lot along the way, I'll take you back to the room to freshen up, and then you can tell me in detail."

So he and Sister Gui helped the eldest sister Ximen back to her room, and sent her to take a bath and comb her hair. After finishing cleaning up for a while, they took out a set of clean clothes and changed them with her.

The eldest sister Ximen had just recovered from her shock, and she just talked about what happened that day, because she cried: "I don't know whether that cruel-hearted and short-lived man is dead or alive now, the slave's family is put in a sack and sent to the city, and I even remember the way back. No, even if he has a whole body, I'm afraid it will be picked up by wild wolves and dogs these days..." He burst into tears as he spoke.

When Li Jiaoer and Sister Gui heard this, they sighed for a while.Quickly comforting her softly, Elder Sister Ximen asked her why the two of them ended up living here. Both of them were originally Ximen Qing's roommates, one was a concubine, and the other was surrounded by Zhanshu in the Goulan courtyard outside. A good friend, but it's hard to say that she is a wanderer to pick up guests, because she lied that she would come to the capital to find a way to save Ximen Qing from danger, the eldest sister heard that she did not suspect him, but felt deeply the deep friendship between the two.That night the eldest sister slept in Li Jiaoer's and Gui Jie's room without mentioning it.

A few days later, Mama Li's sister, Sister Yun, called the little girl over again and said, "Mum, let me ask if my sister's injury has healed. Now it's time for students from all over the country to come to the capital to take the exam. There are many nights." Come to our Li's house to rest, and advise my sister to learn about current affairs, this opportunity only comes once in three years, why not take the opportunity to hang up a sign to receive guests, in case you meet a talented and beautiful Xianlang who is compatible with you, marry him and go home, even if you are a second wife Well, it’s also a beautiful marriage between a man and a woman.”

After hearing that, the eldest sister Ximen cried out in a daze with anger.Li Jiaoer and Sister Gui lived here as guests, and they didn't dare to offend Sister Yun, so they could only nod their heads with a smile and said, "We'll just remember what Auntie said, and please go back and tell the girl, so we can persuade Eldest Sister again." .” The girl agreed to go.

Then Li Jiaoer saw the person walking away, just now she took the elder sister's hand and persuaded softly: "Actually, the slave family is the girl's second mother, so I shouldn't say such things about adultery and robbers, it's just a saying that women Obedience to the husband at home, obedience to the husband when married, and obedience to the son when the husband dies are regarded as the three obediences, which are the whole festival of women.

Now my sister's father is being imprisoned, and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead. My sister's husband is probably in an accident now, and he will never be able to turn around.It’s just that the eldest sister has a lot of heart, and she is determined to be a woman from a good family, but the new widow is not easy to remarry, and besides, her mother’s family is gone and has no honor in the past. Are you planning to live on the long street begging for a living?

A weak woman, even if she begs every day, there is no guarantee that she will not meet those prodigal sons or rogues, taking advantage of the dark moon and high winds, to make you suffer a dark loss, isn't there no place to sue for injustice?

We have all heard what Aunt Cai sent people to persuade my sister just now. Although it is not right to force her into prostitution, this is a way out. Besides, our place is a small class of Qingyin, the most clean and elegant, and it can't compare with those secret doors outside. Even if the guests fall in love with you, they are just talking and laughing with the wine, and going out to meet guests.

It's too early to really have the bed, and you have to pay for the plate, and you have to give the aunt a lot of betrothal gifts, and you have to treat guests with wine, just like marrying a concubine outside, how can my sister not know?But if you don't want to, my aunt will not dare to force you.What's more, I and Sister Gui are here to protect you, if you suffer a little bit, it will be difficult for the two of us to see your father in the future..."

Li Jiaoer and Sister Gui, you talked to each other to win over the eldest sister Ximen.Because the eldest sister is the aunt's guarantor, she is also afraid that she lives here for nothing every day. Although the second mother doesn't say anything, how can she not be annoyed in her heart, the bitches they earn every day can't make ends meet Well, now that I have my own pair of chopsticks, it is more difficult.

I want to borrow money to go back to the Ximen Mansion in Yanggu County, and I am afraid that my aunt will blame me for stealing the title deed of my uncle’s house and running away overnight. Even if she is willing to accept it, I will not be able to live under the eaves of others without my father’s support...

After thinking about it, I had no choice but to hang a water sign in this small class of Qingyin to pick up customers, and at worst, I would just be a pawnbroker, and first settle down here and gain a firm foothold. When it's time, I won't get separated again.

Thinking of this, she stood up and said to Li Jiaoer and Sister Gui, "Since Erniang and sister are in charge, I dare not disobey, so I have listened to your advice this time, and hang up for the time being." Let's pick up the guests, just to make an agreement with my mother, the slave's family is just looking at each other and talking, fighting games and drinking, but the superiors are not allowed."

Li Jiaoer and Sister Gui were overjoyed when they heard this, and just now they went back to Sister Yun, saying that the elder sister was willing to put up a sign to receive guests, and that Sister Yun was better just now, she didn't give them face as usual.

Unexpectedly, within a few days after the eldest sister put up the sign, she was bumped into by Meng Yulou, and immediately took the money to redeem her body, and took the eldest sister out. If it is said that she was identified and brought back, it would not be impossible, but the girl's family reputation No problem, if the Li family in Goulan didn't get a little money, if the whole world spread the word, wouldn't the elder sister's reputation be ruined, so that's why Meng Yulou and Hongyao girl didn't say anything, just said that they were accepted by the rich family Concubine, take the eldest sister away.I never had time to meet Li Jiaoer and Sister Gui.

Li Jiaoer and Sister Gui were sitting idle in the two rooms, and one day they suddenly heard rumors that the eldest sister Ximen had given 200 taels of silver to redeem her body, and now she has married a master of Juren and has become the second wife's grandmother.

Sister Li Gui was taken aback when she heard this, and said, "What do you mean? A chaste and strong woman who cried like that when she first came here, who refused to obey her, has only hung up her sign for a few days, and then ran away with the wild man. Come in and say congratulations to our girls, thank you for taking care of and raising Ende these days, how can you just leave, what a cruel sister!"

When Li Jiaoer heard this, she was also skeptical, because she persuaded Sister Gui: "My family entered the mansion earlier, and I saw the eldest sister grow up. She is an only girl. It is true that she is arrogant and willful, but she has never been like this. I'm afraid there is something strange about the double-faced and three-handed tactics. Why don't we go to her room and ask the little girl to ask what happened."

Saying that, the two joined hands and went to the eldest sister's room.

When she entered the room, Li Jiaoer's heart sank, but she saw that the eldest sister's usual clothes and other things were gone in the room, and there was only a little girl tidying up there, it seemed that she wanted to make room for her. Another sister lives.

Seeing her two coming now, and they are not important sisters, they just ignored her, nodded as a greeting, and did not stop their work, asking her to sit down.

Then Sister Li Gui was still a little angry. Seeing her like this, she said impatiently, "Where did the eldest sister in this room go?" said:

"Hey, aren't the two elder sisters the best with the elder sister? Why is it that she has climbed a high branch and has not informed you?"

Only sister Li Gui was so angry that her willow eyebrows were upside down and her phoenix eyes were round, she raised her hand to hit her.Thanks to Li Jiaoer who stopped her and said: "Your hoof is a piece of carbon, now you are annoyed, are you going to make trouble for your mother?"

That Sister Gui was silent just now, Li Jiaoer smiled apologetically and said: "Let's ask my sister, isn't the elder sister in this room a noble lady? How come she met a friend for the first time, and then followed her as a good friend?" Well, but the ones she used to deal with on a daily basis, weren’t they?”

The girl saw that Li Jiaoer was quite easy-going, so she shook her head and said: "It's not those officials, it happened that the slaves were there just now, and I saw it with my own eyes. Her demeanor is gentle, if she changed her female make-up, I'm afraid that if we add the Li family together, there will only be a senior and senior sister who can match her chess match and meet a good talent.

We all know this eldest sister, because she was born as a direct daughter of an official family, she would not pay attention to ordinary guest officials, who would have thought that seeing that little official now, just look good He looked at him, and told us to wait outside, not to enter the private room. Then, for some reason, the two of them were fastened together. When the servant saw his mother going in, the two of them sat side by side with their legs crossed, and they didn't know what to do. Don't be ashamed.

That's right, for such a gentle and soft young man, if he is replaced by the ex-Ken Wanken, even if I want to back down, I'm afraid I'm willing in my heart.What's more, people offered real gold and silver to redeem themselves. It was unambiguous at all, and the price was 200 taels. I heard that the young man has fame and fame. I'm afraid I still have the status of imperial order, it's so enviable..."

When Li Jiaoer heard this, she was a little skeptical, but Sister Gui believed it, because she sneered and said: "This is the hardest way to draw a dragon or a tiger. Knowing people, knowing the face, but not the heart... Now your eldest sister is fine, just Picking up Gao Zhier and flying away, someone will be a first-class imperial order in the future, so you may not have a mother who has become a kiln sister in her heart!"

Li Jiaoer's face was blushing as she spoke, and it was not easy to argue with her that there must be something wrong with this matter, but in my heart I still felt that my eldest sister was not such a warm-hearted woman.

Now that Chen Jingji has just died, she is deeply affectionate as a husband and wife, and she often burns incense and prays to the moon behind her back, praying that someone who sees the corpse of my uncle can help him to be buried, or maybe she never died, but escaped. In the future, there will finally be a time when husband and wife reunite after a broken mirror.

Now that she left without knowing why, I really feel a little confused, could it be that the eldest sister Ximen really knows how to act, the same in front of others, the same in behind, she is a ruthless and ungrateful silver woman...

Thinking of this, I have no idea, so I can only shake my head and smile: "The slave family saved her that day, and it was not because of her face, but because of the relationship between husband and wife with her father, and I have fulfilled my responsibility as a concubine. Now that she has a good home, as the saying goes, when she first marries, she will follow her relatives, and when she remarries, she will follow her body. There is no royal law that stipulates that a girl should tell her concubine to know the truth when she remarries.

Now that she has gone with someone, if she told me, I would have to congratulate her and have some thoughts with her hairpin and ring jewelry. She has to go..."

Sister Li Gui sneered after hearing this and said: "You are generous, but people may not think of you, or they won't come back to see you after three days, then you will recognize this good girl." Li Gui Jiaoer just ignores it.

In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and it happened that there was not much business in Li Jiaoer's room that day, and Aunt Yun was pressing her hard, thinking that she was married before, and she was a mid-mature woman, showing her face in public It was nothing, so I agreed to go up the back door.

It's just that she has been a wife and grandma after all, and she is not used to such a business of leaning on the door to show off. Suddenly remembering that back then, I, Meng Yulou, and Pan Jinlian were all young concubines, and it was boring to lock the door of the house. Ximen Qing was not there, and the few of them, behind Wu Yueniang's backs, asked someone to open the back door, saying that they wanted to go to the street to buy melon seeds.

Now it's better to justify this matter and show your face at the front of the door. If it can attract business, it's the best. If you can't attract customers, it's also good to buy some melon seeds and knock your teeth.Thinking of this, I told the concierge at the back, opened the back street door, and leaned on the door frame to watch the movement on the street outside.

But seeing a person watching from a distance, and refused to come, seeing Li Jiaoer coming out, she was taken aback, and quickly turned around to avoid it, Li Jiaoer's sharp eyes saw this person, she was also a bluff With a jump, he thought to himself: "The back of this person looks very familiar, why does he look like the second official Wu?"

It is implied in the book that when Li Jiaoer was staying at the Li family in Goulan and wanted to move his family to Tokyo, Erguan Wu and Li Jiaoer were reluctant to part with each other when they were in Yaner, because they discussed with Li Jiaoer. road:

"Since the death of my parents, I have been monopolized by my elder brother for a long time. When my sister got married, she took a large share of the family property as a dowry. Now I am poor, otherwise the real estate and real estate will be changed. It is better to find a way out in the city of Tokyo with a wife, or to start a small business, or to join a big businessman's cabinet as a big man or shopkeeper, than today's villain and the lady are separated, just like that Like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl who meet on the magpie bridge..."

What she said made Li Jiaoer really feel a little bit moved, because now she is determined to go to Tokyo City to find her husband's trace. If she takes Wu Erguan with her, it will naturally be a lawsuit if she sees her again and again. , I have gained a reputation of being unvirtuous, so I might as well go first, if I can't find relatives, I still have some entanglements, leave this cunning rabbit and three holes, and then come back.

Thinking of this, Yin said to the second official Wu: "Second master loves me so much, how can my slave know it? It's just that my slave was born in fireworks, and she is a married woman. Even if my slave doesn't tell me, who in this Yanggu County People don’t know who doesn’t know. Now the second master is willing to live and die with me for the sake of my family’s broken flowers and willows. The slave family is very grateful for the kindness of the second master.”

It's just that the business of the Li family in Goulan, where the slave family has joined, is becoming increasingly sluggish. Although the Li family in Goulan in Tokyo is a sister with Li's mother, I don't know whether the business will be good or not. .

This time it's not as good as the second master is waiting here for a few days. When I arrive in Beijing, I will write a letter and come back immediately. Let's discuss it again. Isn't it perfect? "

With a few words, he trapped the second official Wu, although he was reluctant to let go, he had no choice but to let Li Jiaoer go.

Unexpectedly, this man was used to the life of a bachelor earlier, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Ever since he met Li Jiaoer, there was a beautiful woman between the beds, who talked softly and asked for warmth every day. , although he knew that this was an unstoppable romantic eye, but he was willing to die under the flowers.

Unexpectedly, in the midst of the friendship between honey and oil, suddenly the hotness went away. Erguan Wu could not bear it for the first few days, but the longer the days, the more lonely and sleepless he would be, and he had to beg the neighbors for help Looking at the house, he locked the front and rear doors, and took only a servant, and went to the capital alone.

Unexpectedly, when I went to that poor mountain and treacherous place, I stayed in a black shop by mistake, and fell into a coma after taking the Mongolian sweat medicine. , not to mention the silver bag and some gold and silver soft, yellow and white things, all gone, even the valet was killed by someone, and the body was thrown aside, but he couldn't understand why he hadn't been killed.

Now that he was alive, he didn't care about anything else, got up and stripped the boy's two pieces of clothes, put them on, and ran away with his head in his arms, hating his parents for losing two legs, and ran to a populated place in one breath, just now Pause to catch your breath.

It's just that he was a young man who was used to eating and drinking thanks to the merits of his ancestors. Now that he has suffered this grievance, he is hungry and tired. He wants to find a restaurant to eat some wine, fruit and vegetables, but he has no money and dare not go in. So, I had to look for those delicatessen shops on the street, and strike up a conversation with them on credit.

The guy saw that he had never worn a long gown, but was dressed in two pieces. He was dressed as a servant, his face was frightened and his body was wounded, so he suspected that he was a runaway slave, and refused to give him food on credit. He was very hungry. , I had to tell everyone about my family background.

The idlers on the street heard what happened to him, and they could be regarded as a kind and righteous gentleman. Someone gave him advice and said: "Listen to what this master said just now, I am afraid that he is also a scholar. As the saying goes Taoism learns literature and martial arts, sells goods to the emperor's house, the emperor does not buy and sell and knows the family, and the knowledge family does not buy and throws it underground.

Now you can have some literary and martial arts?There are many people on the long street, we big fellows will give you a place to paint pots, and it would be good for Mr. Xianggong to perform art here to earn some money. "

The Erguan Wu's family was born with a military career, but in his generation, he had already entered Kuma and put Nanshan with swords and guns. He also claims to be a general, and refuses to ask his two brothers to come from the imperial examination, only saying that he is a scholar who is worthless.

Unexpectedly, the old general died of illness. Both the eldest brother and the younger sister knew that the second official Wu was not very capable, but he had a lot of problems, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking were full of five poisons. The two were afraid of being implicated by him, so they separated early. Home.

Relying on his ancestral foundation, Wu Erguan didn't care too much about it, he was still used to eating and drinking, separated from the family for a year or two, and became poorer, and when he was 30 years old, he was incapable of writing or martial arts, and he didn't have a single trick or half a style. The pen can be taken out with one stroke, but now when asked by this kind-hearted person, his face blushed, he lowered his head, and after a long while he murmured: "The villain has been out of school since he was a child, and he has never had any skills."

Since he is a frequent visitor to Wasili in Goulan, he must be able to play some little tunes. Why not borrow a pipa and a Yueqin from him? Let's draw pots for him and do business here. I'm afraid it will be enough money for the trip. gone."

Wu Erguan didn't understand what is called painting pot, so he bowed and asked: "Dare to ask this high neighbor, why is it called the place of painting pot?"

The man laughed and said: "Listen to this, you will know that this is also the young master Yangzi, who has never traveled far, and is in poverty. Anyway, since you asked me today, the villain will tell you that's all." , this so-called painting pot is a performer who draws limestone on the ground to chase after him, stands in the circle to talk, sing and perform martial arts. The guests outside will see that if they appreciate you, they will throw a few coins, all in the circle , it’s like a foodie who sells art, so it’s called a painting pot.”
