But he said that there was a grandson in Liguo Mansion, who was the son of Gao Hanlin. His wife had just died of illness last year, and the family was looking at a suitable marriage for him. A few days ago, after visiting friends, I was walking around casually and happened to pass by a small noodle shop where a funeral was being held.
, he invited two monks to perform sutras. He accidentally poked his head in and saw the beauty of the little widow. He fell in love with her at first sight, and went over to help her every day.
On the first seven days after arriving at the noodle shop, Boss Wang burned incense and paper to prepare for the banquet in the afternoon. Because Boss Wang was a kind-hearted person, many neighbors came to pay their respects, some gave some mourning money, and some were empty-handed. The boss's wife, Wang Jiangshi, was all very polite.
, advancing and retreating in a controlled manner. Naturally, Mr. Gao also came here early. About six o'clock in the morning, a man wearing crow's blue came in from outside and shouted: "Sister-in-law Wang." Mr. Gao immediately looked at this person up and down, looking at his clothes and shoes.
The family must be quite well off.
Mrs. Wang Jiang hurriedly came out and said, "It's from Shopkeeper Ma."
The shopkeeper then came in to offer incense to Boss Wang, and loudly advised: "Life and death are inevitable, and it is beyond human control. My sister-in-law expresses my condolences, and if you have anything to do in the future, just come and look for my little brother. Although I am a businessman, I also have some means, and I will definitely be able to do it."
Keep my sister-in-law safe." The neighbors also saw that the shopkeeper was well-dressed, and upon hearing this they couldn't help but guess that he was interested in the Wang Jiang family.
Mrs. Wang Jiang said to him with tears in her eyes: "Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Ma."
Mr. Gao looked at Shopkeeper Ma and coughed: "I'm just a businessman. What can you do if you encounter trouble? Do you really think that you can just spend a few stinky money?"
Shopkeeper Ma also looked at him and said: "Under King Yan's rule during the Qingming Dynasty, the ordinary people in the market did not do anything serious. Besides, everyone is a sensible person, and money can make all the difference. Even if you encounter someone who is not easy to mess with,
Brother Wang and his younger brother are kind to each other, so it’s okay to risk their lives."
Wang Jiangshi hurriedly said: "Why is it so powerful? Actions are life-threatening. Don't say these unlucky things."
Just when Mr. Gao was about to speak, shopkeeper Ma rushed over and said, "It's just that we've caught up with the conversation, so I won't mention it." This made Mr. Gao inconvenient and he asked again if he wanted to buy some incense and candles.
Wang Jiang said: "I bought some more yesterday. It's enough for these few days."
Shopkeeper Ma nodded, then took out two ten taels of silver from his arms and held it in his hand, saying, "Give it to Brother Wang." Mrs. Wang Jiang thanked him and accepted it.
Mr. Gao quickly took out the ingot of gold from his sleeve and said, "Give it to Boss Wang."
Shopkeeper Ma stepped forward and stood between him and Wang Jiang: "This young master looks like a scholar. Does he also recognize Brother Wang?"
Mr. Gao said: "Although we are strangers, we are destined to meet each other..."
Shopkeeper Ma interrupted with a smile: "Since I don't recognize him, Brother Wang has already gone. Where did we meet him? It's just by chance."
An idle man in the crowd laughed and said, "Boss Wang hasn't even passed his first seven years, and there are already two people trying to steal his wife."
Wang Jiang's face darkened before she could speak. Another woman said: "It's fine if some of you are sincere. The landlady can be relied upon for life. It's a pity that no one is sincere."
Wang Jiangshi stepped forward and saluted everyone and said: "Today my husband is the seventh child. I would like to thank all the friends and neighbors who came to see him off. If there is anyone who is provoking trouble or gossiping, don't blame this little lady for not caring about her face."
The woman walked out gracefully and stood in front of Mr. Wang Jiang with a graceful expression: "The little girl is talking too much just now. I hope my sister won't take offense." Everyone saw that the woman looked charming and had a melodious voice. Although she was wearing a plain white shirt,
The movement and noise can't hide the aura of wind and dust, and everyone thinks it's a fan, and their eyes are shining - it's really exciting!
Mrs. Wang Jiang looked her over briefly and said, "This girl has a tight face."
The fan smiled and said: "My little girl has never met my sister, but Boss Wang is a frequent visitor in our building." Everyone started talking about "coaxing...".
Wang Jiangshi smiled and said, "Really?"
"Really." The fan said sweetly, "Although he was generous and very promiscuous, all the sisters in the building had served him, but they never sat down for a while and never stayed overnight. It was rare for him to be so protective of his sister.
of."
Wang Jiang's face turned cold: "Miss, is there anything else? No excuses."
Fantou sighed: "I just heard that he is gone, so I came here to burn a piece of paper for the sisters. How can we compare to my sister?" She turned around to leave, but she added another sentence, "I am from that place.
I have never seen anyone else in my life, only men I have seen the most. My sister only believes in me. These two have their own secrets, and neither of them is really my sister’s, so I’m not sure what they want.” He walked away gracefully.
The scene suddenly became cold. A sister-in-law said with a smile: "How can a man not go there? If you go there and don't stay overnight, you can't pick one out of ten."
Shopkeeper Na Ma also said: "You are lying! Sister-in-law, I am an aboveboard brother. I wholeheartedly respect Brother Wang's kindness and righteousness. I have no intention of taking any liberties. This can be seen from the sun and the moon." He looked at Mr. Gao again and said, "You can't even think about making random plans for a young man.
"
Mr. Gao also hurriedly said: "Don't spit on anyone with blood! I just saw that she is a woman and has a hard time, so I just wanted to help her."
Shopkeeper Ma smiled softly and said, "You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Gao."
A neighbor hurriedly came out and pulled the two of them apart, and persuaded: "Both of you, please do it for Boss Wang's sake. This is before the funeral, and Boss Wang is watching from the sky." Shopkeeper Ma snorted heavily and withdrew.
He walked away; Mr. Gao had no choice but to stay away.
Mr. Wang Jiang stood in a daze for a moment, suddenly woke up, and made arrangements for a while, asking someone to move the coffin and send it to be buried outside the city. Shopkeeper Ma followed him to send the coffin. Mr. Gao was really not Mr. Wang's boss, and he
Shopkeeper Na was told to mock him and not dare to follow him.
Boss Wang was buried and all the helpers were sent away, leaving only Wang Jiang and Shopkeeper Ma. Shopkeeper Ma said: "I checked the man named Gao. His father, Gao Hanlin, is the son-in-law of Li Guofu."
.I just came here to show you courtesy, I’m afraid I don’t have any good intentions.”
"I know that person well. Logically speaking, the Liu family doesn't know anything about us." Wang Jiang frowned and said, "Look up that fan."
"Take your orders." Shopkeeper Ma said, "Since Brother Wang faked his death, will my sister-in-law see him tomorrow and ask?"
Wang Jiangshi sneered: "He won't admit it."
Shopkeeper Ma suddenly realized that what he said was not quite appropriate, and said sarcastically: "About... Brother Wang just went to sit for a while and drink tea with others. Didn't you listen to what the fan said? He didn't even sit there for a long time, and he didn't stay overnight.
, it shows that I still have a sister-in-law in my heart. It’s okay for my sister-in-law to just ask.”
Wang Jiangshi smiled. This pony didn't know who the person named Wang was. How could a eunuch admit that he secretly visited the brothel when he had free time? She glanced at him sideways: "That's not the reason." There was nothing she could do. She thought.
After thinking for a while, he said, "If that man named Gao has ulterior motives, I'm afraid the Liu family is planning something. You should pay more attention." Shopkeeper Ma nodded in agreement.
It just so happened that three days later, Shopkeeper Ma was having a drink with someone, and happened to meet the fan who came to the noodle shop that day. Shopkeeper Ma's Suite asked her to accompany her, and they became familiar with each other within a few minutes. He sneaked away that night
He went to meet Mr. Wang Jiang in the restaurant and said, "That pink head is from Mingchun Tower, called Yanzhi. I lied to her, but Brother Wang has never stayed overnight."
Mrs. Wang Jiang nodded and said, "I understand."
The next day, she dressed up as a man, called herself "Uncle Jiang" and went to Mingchun Tower, looking for a few other fans to accompany her. After drinking Huizi wine, Wang Jiang said: "I came to Beijing to find someone to collect debts from.
Yes, it's a pity that the man died just now. His wife looked poor, and she was afraid that she would be in vain. I heard that he had come to your building?" The fan asked who it was. Uncle Jiang said, "My surname is Wang.
You have a small noodle restaurant near Sesame Alley."
A fan immediately said: "Oh, it turns out to be Uncle Wang. For some reason, he suddenly disappeared."
Another said: "He is so generous."
Wang Jiang asked: "Is he very rich? How come his noodle restaurant is so small, yet he has the money to come to your place?"
Another one said: "Uncle Jiang, I don't know. Uncle Wang and the two great shopkeepers of Yinfengju are very close friends. Didn't the one in front of him die of a fright in the street? The one in the back is also his good friend."
The fans looked at each other and said all kinds of trivial things to Boss Wang, which made Wang Jiang's heart feel cold. Boss Wang really nodded at all the fans in the building and said a lot of dissatisfaction to these fans.
What should be said, brothels have always been a place where all kinds of news are spread. If someone wants to inquire about Yinfengju, it is very easy to follow the clues and find her noodle restaurant. She later found several fans in Mingchun House to ask, and the same was true.
I sighed secretly in my heart: The eunuch looked like this when he left the palace.
A few days later, the noodle shop reopened, and indeed Mr. Gao came again. Wang Jiangshi only kept vague words with him. Unexpectedly, Mr. Gao suddenly stopped coming.
Two days later, in the afternoon, a young man came to eat noodles. Wang Jiang was shocked when he saw it - even though they were not familiar with each other, she recognized that he was from the Ouchi Liu family. The young man was also shocked when he saw Wang Jiang and blurted out
: "It's you!"
Wang Jiangshi frowned and said, "Don't you know it's me?"
The young man shook his head: "I don't know."
"How did you find Young Master Liu?"
The young man originally came in at a time when there was no one around, but he sat down and said, "The old man asked me to find someone. The man's servant said that he fell in love with a beautiful widow in this noodle shop and ran here every day.
I just wanted to come and have a look. I didn't expect it to be you."
"The one with the surname Gao?"
"Exactly."
"He was here before, but he hasn't been here for the past two days."
The young man smiled bitterly and said: "His father has not returned home since then and has disappeared."
Wang Jiangshi said coldly: "It's not a coincidence that he came to my place."
The young man said: "Their family didn't tell me anything."
"Master Liu, why don't you go to the Liguo Mansion and ask." Wang Jiang said, "Don't take other people's advice."
The young man thought for a moment and said, "I know." He bowed his hand to her and left as if nothing had happened. Wang Jiang knew that their family was a traitor and did not dare to take action, so she watched him leave.
This young man is from the Liu family's branch in Da Nei. He has been growing up in the palace since he was a child, and now that he has followed his family out, he has become much more courageous. He thought to himself, what a coincidence that the man named Gao was eyeing him.
He found this "little widow" because the Liguo Mansion must have hidden something from him. Although they were both named Liu, these juniors had not interacted with each other for many years, so he did not trust the Liguo Mansion very much. So he waited until dusk to find a small restaurant by himself.
After dinner, he rested for a while and quietly sneaked into the Liguo Mansion to look for Liu Biao, hoping to eavesdrop on what he was saying.
Liu Biao was old and resting in a small courtyard south of Liguo Mansion. Several maids and servants were waiting for him to enjoy the shade. The young man quietly hid in the big locust tree in the courtyard. He waited in vain for an hour and a half, and
No one from the Liu family came to discuss any important matters with him, so Liu Biao fell asleep in the courtyard... The boys carried him to the house, and kept watch all night, while others slept. The young man from the Liu family waited in vain.
Then he jumped up to the roof to look around. The moon was shining brightly, illuminating everything clearly. There was a shadow wearing night clothes lying on a roof not far in front of him. He hurriedly followed it quietly. Unexpectedly, he left.
After a few steps, the man got up, stood on the roof and stretched out! He shook his neck and arms again, and left! The Liu family boy secretly followed behind.
The man's martial arts were extremely high. He left the Liguo Mansion on the tiles and under the trees, jumped from the courtyard wall to the street, stretched again, shook off the shooting stars, and strode away. The young man from the Liu family followed him all the way to Ningrong Street.
I patted a side door of Rongguo Mansion, and the door opened with a creak. Someone inside yawned and said, "You're so cute. What time has it been? I'm so sleepy."
The night traveler said: "Am I not sleepy? If you have the ability, go on your own." He threw his arm and went in.
The person inside said with a flattering smile: "Good brother, don't I have that ability?" Then he closed the door.
The boy from the Liu family then lightly flew up the wall and jumped into the courtyard. As soon as he landed, he heard the sound of wind, and several hidden weapons came towards his face. He turned around on his toes to avoid it. A figure came towards him and hit him.
, he dodged sideways again and fought with the man. After half a round, he saw clearly that this man was the night traveler he had just followed. He only heard the voice of the person opening the door cheering beside him: "Come on
Come on! I told you to fight slowly. I can't see clearly at such a speed. Don't bully Muggles, okay?"
Then I heard a cold female voice say: "This person is very capable, I'm afraid you won't be able to take him down for a while. Do you want my help?"
"No, no, no," Ye Xingren said, beating each other, "I find it embarrassing to have a fight with a woman for help."
The one who opened the door said: "Otherwise, I can help you!"
The night traveler said: "Pull him down. If you don't cause more trouble, I will become a Buddha."
The man who opened the door said: "I sing! How about singing something unpleasant to disturb his mind? Anyway, you are used to it."
The night traveler drank: "Shut up!"
The person who opened the door began to sing to himself: "I am wearing a military saber, and I have seen heroes bend their waists. I have to fly as high as I want to fly over the walls, and I am practicing floating on the water in a boat..."
The night traveler shouted: "Miss Chen, please stop his mouth!"
He heard a "swish" and "plop!" The young man from the Liu family fell to the ground. The singing stopped. The woman who was watching the battle suddenly took action and swung the star hammer straight towards his waist. Although he dodged this move, he still couldn't.
It happened to hit the night traveler's hand, causing him to give him a slap and then a kick, and he fell down.
The night traveler stepped on him and complained: "I told you not to let you help."
The woman said: "Everyone in this house who is waiting for you to chirp will have to be woken up by him."
"You couldn't bear to stop him? Are you so reluctant to let go?"
The man who opened the door said: "You don't understand the business. How can you let a girl do such a thing as gagging?" He turned around and leaned in front of the woman and kissed her on the mouth! (..)
