Chapter 28 The Dream of Liaozhai

Sixi sat on the steps of the teahouse small room, beside her packed books and big bags. When Zeng Yu came over, she hurriedly stood up and asked, "Young Master, what are you quarreling just now? Did you see that ferocious old woman?"

Zeng Yu frowned and said, "It's really inexplicable, I'm afraid I'll be blackmailed."

"Ah." Sixi was angry: "Why did we blackmail us? What did we do wrong!"

四喜声音有些大,曾渔摇手道:“先别急,看她们怎么做作,咱们身正不怕影子斜.”心道:“捉奸捉双,我只是路过,奸情之事怎么也不能栽到我头上,若那老刁婆和陆员外什么的敢动粗,我就揍他们.”越想越觉得憋气,借个宿也会遇到这种无谓的麻烦,只怕要见官,这一来二去岂不耽误了考试行程!

The earthen wall in the backyard of the teahouse is not high, so it is not difficult for Zeng Yu to cross the wall to walk, but Si Xi obviously cannot climb high and leap low, and if this escape is caught, it will be more confirmed.

The footsteps were light, and the drooping girl quickly stepped into the courtyard, made a cute silent gesture, and said softly: "Scholar Zeng, little Shutong, don't speak loudly."

Sixi was originally very grateful to this girl with a beautiful appearance and a sweet voice, but now she was full of resentment and said in a bad voice: "You want to blackmail my young master, my young master has no money!"

The girl widened her eyes, pursed her lips, and looked pitiful and pitiful, saying, "It's that Grandma Yan who wants to blackmail my mother, not you."

Zeng Yu signaled Sixi not to speak. He asked the girl with a smile: "Miss, Miss, who is the lady's person? Why did she blackmail your mother?"

The girl did not answer Zeng Yu's words, but waved her hand and said, "Scholar Zeng, please step out, the water from the eaves dripped down and wet your headscarf."

Although the rain had stopped, the eaves of the teahouse were still dripping down. Zeng Yu was standing at the leaking eaves—

The girl was childish and gentle. Seeing Zeng Yu step forward, she smiled and said, "My surname is Lu. I don't know who that Grandma Yan is. I only know that she was ordered to take care of my mother. This is not allowed or that is not allowed. It is very fierce. In fact, she wants to blackmail my mother's gold and silver jewelry--"

"Who is the order?" Zeng Yu asked: "Is it that Mr. Lu?"

The girl hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's not Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu can't control this Grandma Yan. Mr. Lu is my second grandfather. My own grandfather has passed away long ago and I have never seen it since I was a child."

This relationship is really complicated. The nun named Lu Miao, who is the girl named Lu, why is the girl also surnamed Lu? Zeng Yu asked again: "Who is Grandma Yan's order under which is it? It's so hateful?"

The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know either. It should be sent by my father. Zeng Shusheng must ask who my father is, right? I don't know. My mother refused to say that Grandma Yan and my second grandfather never mentioned it. I don't know what mistake my mother made and would take care of her like a thief." Later, the drooping girl's eyes were full and she was filled with tears.

The fat and ferocious Grandma Yan came over, first glanced at Zeng Yu, grabbed the girl's hand and walked out, and said, "Mr. Lu has something to say to you both, go quickly." She turned around and looked at Zeng Yu, warning, "Don't come out first when hiding in the teahouse, otherwise you will get beaten with the official." She pulled the girl away.

Zeng Yu shook his head and walked back to the tea room to sit. There were two rice dumplings, one of them was about to peel them and eat them, but Grandma Yan was walking back alone. Her face was covered with thin folds, and she smiled and said without a smile: "You scholar, you have caused great trouble, do you know?"

Zeng Yu was too lazy to get up, so he took a bite of the glutinous rice dumpling and chewed it slowly, and said, "Sit in a closed room, will the disaster come from the sky?"

Seeing Zeng Yu's indifferent look, Grandma Yan raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Do you know who that girl is?" Before Zeng Yu could answer, she said contemptuously: "Tell you, the girl's husband can crush you like an ant with just one little finger. Do you believe it?"

Zeng Yu nodded and said, "I believe, but I am just a poor scholar. I passed by here, and I have never taken any advice and provoked anyone. I don't know what kind of Heavenly Decree I will be crushed to death?"

Grandma Yan's nostrils were air-conditioned and said, "You know what you did in your heart, it's almost the same as breaking the laws of heaven. It's a crime that deserves death."

Zeng Yu said: "Grandma Yan, don't be tainted and innocent from nothing, don't scare me, just say what you want to do?"

The vicious old woman was very annoyed. She said that she wanted to scare the scholar and beg for mercy. Then she could take the opportunity to blackmail some money. She would always have some money when going out for the exam. Unexpectedly, the scholar asked her what she wanted to do. At that moment, her two fish soaked triangular eyes were glaring fiercely, and she growled condescendingly: "You are so stubborn, and you're still stubborn when you die, I--"

Zeng Yu suddenly stood up from the floor, stared at the old woman, and growled: "I am Kuaicuo. I can't afford to hire a carriage even when I go to the exam. I have eaten the rice dumplings I brought from my home until now. I can't afford to stay in the inn and find temples to rest along the way. I only stayed here for half a night in the rain. I'm a murderer? You said you blackmailed me, Kuaicuo, what do you want to do? Do you want money? I'll have one to die." As he said that, he pulled off his headscarf and threw it on the ground, "to the ground" again.

The old woman didn't expect that the gentle scholar would suddenly start to attack like this. She was not a scholar or a bachelor. She actually didn't want to make a big deal. She backed back and said, "You scholar are crazy, you must be crazy--" She turned around and went out, shaking her fat buttocks and left quickly.

Sixi was so alert when she saw Zeng Yu getting angry that she quickly picked up the scarf, dusted it off, and handed it to Zeng Yu with both hands: "Young Master——"

Zeng Yu took the turban and put it on his face. He didn't want to speak for a while. He stood at the door of the tea room to ponder. This old lady was obviously a bad slave who bullied the master. The nun must be the wife and concubine of a certain official and gentry. He made some mistakes and disobeyed the official and gentry, which was equivalent to being imprisoned here. But as the girl named Lu said, they should have lived here for a long time, and there was also a second grandfather, and why did the second grandfather, Mr. Lu tolerate this old woman bullying his niece and nephew and granddaughter like this?

There was no sound in the Caotang. I didn’t know if Mr. Lu had left. Zeng Yu couldn’t stay here anymore. He carried a book book on his back. Sixi rushed to carry the bag. Zeng Yu shouted, “Just walk well, take the big umbrella as a cane.” He took the bag from Sixi and put it on his shoulder. The book book and the bag were more than 40 kilograms. He rushed to Qingtian Village first as a cattle and horse.

As soon as the master and servant left the teahouse, they heard the voice of Mr. Lu, who had phlegm in his throat, saying: "Aunt Yan, please persuade Miao Xiang. You must leave today, and you cannot delay it. Please persuade her. I will go back and prepare a carriage and horse, and I will pick you up later."

The vicious old woman said in the voice of the ferocious old woman: "Don't worry, I will definitely persuade Miao Xiang's wife to change her mind."

Mr. Lu ordered as he walked out: "Put off her nun's robe, you can't wear it like this anymore, and you must also accumulate your hair."

The old woman said, "Miao Xiang's wife has a razor herself, and she shaves her bald head by herself, so she has no choice but to do anything about her old body."

Mr. Lu: "Likong threw away her razor and kept it for a while if you want to see a short-sighted person."

The old woman agreed and sent Mr. Lu out of the yard. There was a sound of sedan chair outside the door. Mr. Lu coughed and left.

Zeng Yu's servant walked out and was meeting the vicious old woman. This time the old woman didn't stop her. She just turned her eyes and sneered. Zeng Yu bowed and said, "Grandma Yan, thank you for your care. If you are lucky enough to be a student when you come to Fuzhou, you will definitely thank you very much when you come back."

"Yo ho." The vicious old woman looked up and down at Zeng Yu, and sneered: "You think you can come back to show off your might by passing the exam. Let me tell you, you will still crush you with a little finger."

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "How can you show off your power? And if you do poorly write the lower eight-part essays, it is probably difficult to beat it-"

The old woman didn't want to talk about Zeng Yu's money, so she said impatiently: "Go away quickly, don't cause trouble for the old man."

"Shusheng Zeng—"

The drooping girl ran over from the teahouse, her pretty face was oozing a layer of sweat, and she gasped, "Are you leaving?"

Zeng Yu bowed and said, "Thank you Miss Lu. I'm going to go on my way. Miss Lu takes care of me. Please thank that aunt on your behalf. Please take care of me. Please take care of me. I'm very rare in my life. I'll try to cherish it."

The girl Zhan Yan said, "Did Scholar Zeng read Buddhist scriptures? The "Tiyukan Poli Sutra" says, 'If there is a person on Mount Sumeru, she will be under a wisp, and one person will be holding a needle to greet him. There is a whirlwind in it, and it will be difficult to blow the thread into the needle hole, and it will be difficult to get the human body, which is even more than that'."

Zeng Yu was ashamed. He only knew that it was difficult to hear Buddhism in human body. How could this girl recite this passage casually? This girl was only twelve or three years old. She couldn't help but praise: "Ms. Lu is extremely intelligent, and I admire her."

The girl smiled and said, "I have listened to my mother chanting scriptures since I was a child-"

"What's the matter? Mr. Lu is coming soon. Leave quickly. If you don't leave, you won't be able to complain about your old age."

Grandma Yan pulled the girl aside, stared at Zeng Yu with her eyes, and asked Zeng Yu to leave quickly.

Zeng Yu waved his hand to the girl and left the yard with Sixi. He walked more than ten steps. When he looked back, the board was closed. This place was not clear last night. Now it seems that the residence of the Lu family mother and daughter is quiet and elegant. The earth wall is made of stones and earthen soil, with wood fragrance and vermicelli planted beside the wall, and green vines and green leaves are covered with walls. Although the houses in the courtyard are thatched roofs and earthen walls, they have a square, thick and simple appearance. There are moss and red flowers in front and behind the houses, and under the steps

There are green clouds, green onions, and cute green mattresses. Not to mention the yellow gardenia on both sides of the path facing the gate of the courtyard, green jade white, and attractive flowers. It is simply an excellent place to live in seclusion. If Zeng Yu passed by here during the day, he would definitely envy the hermit or beauty in the secluded residence. How could he know the sadness of the beautiful girl behind the earthen wall panel, the naughty girl's childish and ignorant worldly affairs, and the ferocious old woman who has no ending story!

Zeng Yu shook his head, feeling like he was having a dream like a Chinese Studio. The beautiful and sad girl was still a fog. It was a bit sad to leave like this. I always felt something else should happen-

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing out loud and thought to myself: "Zeng Jiuli, is it a complete story to take you as an adulterer and lead you to court? That would be a tragedy that is even more unfair than Dou E. Hey, I don't want to play such a tragic role, do you think it's not miserable enough now?"
