The new ten Niang script
In the evening, Shengfeng was drunk and was about to go home. There used to be a temple by the roadside, which was abandoned for a long time. A woman came out. She is the beauty of the morning. When she saw Shengfeng coming, she immediately turned and entered the temple. Sheng Feng secretly wondered: How can a beautiful woman be in a Buddhist temple? He tied the donkey to the gate of the temple and went in to spy on this unusual thing. When you go in, you will see the broken wall, and the grass on the road grows like a blanket. While walking, an old man with gray hair and neat clothes came out and asked, "What are the guests doing here?" Sheng Feng said: "I occasionally pass by the ancient temple and want to pay a visit." Take the opportunity to ask: "What is the old gentleman doing here?" The old man said, "I have no fixed place, so I'll settle down here for the time being." Thanks to your kindness, I will treat you with coarse tea instead of wine. "So I invited guests to come in. I see a yard behind the hall. The stone road is clean and there are no more weeds. As soon as I entered the room, I saw a series of furniture such as curtains and bed curtains, which smelled fragrant. The two sides sat down to introduce their names, and the old man said, "My name is Xin." Shengfeng was drunk and asked rudely, "I heard that Ai Ling doesn't have a good husband, so I just want to be your son-in-law." "Please let me discuss it with my wife. Shengfeng asked for a pen to write a poem and wrote: "If you find a jade pestle, you will be diligent. ".If Yunying is interested, she will be Xuanshuang. "The master smiled and put the poem away for the servant. Soon, a handmaid and Xin whispered. Xin stood up to treat him, sat down, lifted the curtain and went in. He vaguely heard him say a few words and walked out quickly. I thought there would be good news, but Xin just sat and chatted with him, and there was nothing else to say. Sheng couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "I don't understand what you mean by marriage." Please solve my mystery. " Xin said, "You are an outstanding scholar. I have admired you for a long time, but I dare not say anything because of difficulties. " After repeated invitations, Xin said, "Nineteen girls and twelve married. Getting married is my wife's decision, and the elderly don't participate. " Sheng Feng said, "I only want the man who left with my slave this morning." Xin didn't answer, and everyone was relatively silent. Hearing the voices of the women in the room, Sheng said, "Since I can't be a husband and wife, I should look at myself to eliminate my regrets." When the people inside heard the sound of the curtain hook moving, they stood up together and looked at each other in surprise. Sure enough, there was a man in red, taking off his coat, with big sleeves and sloping hair, standing there holding the belt. The people in the room were frightened by the delivery. Xin Weng was furious and ordered several people to pull it out. Shengfeng was even more drunk. He fell into the weeds, and tiles and stones fell like rain, but fortunately he missed.
After lying down for a while, Shengfeng heard the donkey still eating grass by the roadside. So he got up, got on the donkey and staggered along. The night was blurred, and he strayed into the ravine, where wolves were running and owls were barking, which made people feel creepy. He hesitated to look around, not knowing where he was. I saw the lights flashing in the dense forest in the distance, thinking that this must be a village, and finally the pool donkey arrived there. There, he saw the tall gate. He knocked at the door with a whip, and the insider asked, "Who came in the middle of the night?" Shengfeng told him about getting lost. It says, "Wait till I go back and report to my master." Shengfeng stood on tiptoe and waited like a swan. Suddenly, I heard the sound of opening the door. A strong servant came out and led the donkey to serve the guests. When I was born, I saw that the room was beautifully decorated, and some people in the class lit cigarettes. After sitting for a while, a woman came out and asked the guest's last name, and the student told her. After a while, several maids came out with an old lady and said, "The monarch has arrived." (Note: The princess is the monarch at the county level and has a high status. Generally, a son or husband has a higher status before being canonized by the emperor. Mrs. Xue's husband was a senior minister before his death, so he called it). "ChengFeng stood up and bent down to bow down to the old lady. The old lady stopped him and told him to sit down. She said to him, "Aren't you Feng Yunzi's grandson?" Answer: "Yes." The old lady said, "Then you should be my nephew's grandson. I'm old and dying, and time is running out. It's really unfamiliar. The student said, "Son, I lost my father when I was a child. I don't know anyone who has made good friends with my grandfather. "I have never visited you before, please make it clear who you are." The old lady said, "You will know for yourself." Shengfeng dared not ask again, and sat with the old lady to think about her identity.
The old lady asked, "Son, why did you come so late?" Students always boast of their courage, so they tell everything that happened to them. The old lady smiled and said, "This is a great event. Besides, you are a celebrity, and marrying you won't tarnish your reputation at all. Why is this wild fox arrogant? Don't worry, son, I can help you get married. " Life has only "yes" to thank. The old lady looked at the maid and said, "I didn't know the little girl was so beautiful." The maid said, "He has nineteen daughters, all of whom are beautiful. I wonder what title your official hired? " The student said, "I am about fifteen years old." "This is the Fourteenth Mother," said the servant girl. In March, she and her mother congratulated the county magistrate. How can you forget? " The old lady said with a smile, "Isn't that the person who wears flower shoes with petals, spices in the shoes and spinning on his feet?" The maid said, "Yes." The old lady said, "This girl is good at cooking and playing this trick. But it's really beautiful, son. Your appreciation is good. " Immediately said to the maid, "You can send Xiaoli's slave to call her." The servant girl promised to leave.
After a while, the maid came in and told her, "Call the fourteen mothers of the Xin family." Kneel down to the old lady at once when you see the woman in red. The old lady said, "You will be my nephew, grandson and daughter-in-law, so you don't need the girl's manners." The woman stood up and stood up gracefully. Her tea hung low. The old lady tidied up her hair, fondled her earrings and said, "What has Aunt been doing in the boudoir recently?" The woman replied in a low voice, "Leisure is just embroidery." Looking back at Shengfeng, she was too shy to ask. The old lady said, "This is my nephew's grandson. He really wants to be in-laws with your children. Why did he get lost and escape to this valley at night? " Fourteen Niang bowed her head and was speechless. The old lady said, "I didn't call you here for anything else, but I wanted to be a matchmaker for the children." She's just silent. The old lady ordered to clean the bed and make the bedding, and immediately arranged the marriage for them. Fourteen Niang said shyly, "You should tell my parents, too." The old lady said, "What's wrong with me being your matchmaker?" (Note: "Cutting" and "making ice" are allusions to being a matchmaker. "Cutting" means the Book of Songs, "making ice" means being an iceman, and it means the Book of Jin. 14 Niang said, "My parents should not dare to disobey the princess's orders, but they are too hasty. I dare not obey even if I die!" The old lady smiled and said, "My little girl's ambition is inviolable. She is really my nephew, grandson and daughter-in-law! " So, she picked a golden flower from her head at the age of fourteen and gave it to Shengfeng. Tell him to go home and find a solar calendar and get married on an auspicious day. So she asked the maid to send Sinian away. Hearing the cock crow in the distance, he sent someone to lead the donkey to send Shengfeng out. Shengfeng stepped out of a few steps and turned around, only to find that the hut had disappeared, and the pine and catalpa trees were as dense as Dai, covered with a dilapidated grave. Calm down and think for a while, just understand that this is the tomb of Xue Shangshu.
Xue Shangshu is the younger brother of Feng's late grandmother, so he is called his nephew. Shengfeng knew there was a ghost, but he still didn't know who it was for fourteen years. Sighing for a while, I went back to look through the almanac and waited, but the agreement of being afraid of ghosts was hard to rely on. When I went to the temple again, I found the house desolate. Ask others, and I will hear rumors that foxes are often seen in temples. Privately, I thought, "If you can get a beautiful woman, even a fox is not bad." On the selected day, the houses and roads were cleaned, and the servants took turns to look out. By midnight, there was still no news, and Shengfeng had given up any hope. After a while, there was a voice outside the door. Shengfeng ran out to spy without shoes. He saw a sedan chair parked in the yard, and two maids were sitting in the green room with fourteen Niang. There is nothing valuable in the dowry except two long-necked servants carrying a piggy bank as big as an urn and putting it in a corner of the yard. Shengfeng is very happy to marry a beautiful wife and does not doubt that he is a monster. Ask 14 Niang: "You damn fool, why is your family so obedient to her?" "Xue Shangshu is now an envoy of the five capitals, and he is in charge of a hundred miles of ghosts and foxes, and he rarely goes back to his grave," said the Fourteenth Niang. Shengfeng didn't forget his kindness as a matchmaker, and went to his grave to offer sacrifices the next day. When I came back, I saw two maids, who took Jinbei as a gift, put it directly on the table and left. Shengfeng told Sinian about it, and Sinian said, "This is the monarch's."
There is a son of Chu Yintai in the county. When he was young, he and Shengfeng were classmates. I heard that Shengfeng married the fox's wife, gave something as a gift, and went to Shengfeng's house to drink. A few days later, an invitation was sent to Sheng Feng's house, inviting him to have a drink. Hearing this, Fourteen Niang said to Sheng Feng, "The other day, when my son came, I opened a small hole in the wall to observe him. That man's monkey-like eyes have the fierce light of an eagle, so he can't get along with him for a long time. " You'd better not go. "ChengFeng agreed. The next day, my son visited, investigated Shengfeng's drunkenness and sent a new gift. Shengfeng laughed and laughed at his son's words, and his son was ashamed and broke up in discord. Shengfeng went back to the back room and told ShiSiNian what had just happened with a smile. Shi Sinian said with a sad face, "You can't go near him because you are a jackal! If you don't listen to me, you will fall into disaster! " Shengfeng smiled and apologized to ShiSiNian. Later, he and his son joked with each other, and the original problem was slowly uncovered. Happened to meet with the general exam, childe took the first place, Shengfeng second. Childe smug, let a person come over to invite Shengfeng to drink, Shengfeng declined; Childe frequently invited him to go. I didn't know it was childe's birthday until I arrived. The guests and entourage were full and the banquet was very rich. The son showed Shengfeng the test paper, and relatives and friends crowded to read the test paper and cheered. After three rounds of drinking, music was played in the class, and the music was melodious, and both the host and the guest were very happy. My son suddenly said to Sheng Feng, "As the saying goes, there is no paper in the field" (don't talk about articles in the examination room, that is, the ranking is determined by financial resources rather than articles. ), I know now that this is wrong. The reason why the niche ranks higher than the old man is only because there are a few words here that are slightly better than the old man. "Say that finish, childe sold out. Shengfeng is drunk, so he can't stand this tone. He smiled and said, "Dude, you thought your article won the first prize only if you were smart!" " When Sheng Feng finished speaking, the room was crowded with people. My son is ashamed and angry, and he can't breathe. The guests gradually left, and Shengfeng also hid. After waking up, Shengfeng began to regret it, so he told it for fourteen years. Fourteen Niangs said unhappily, "You are really a prodigal son among hillbillies! A frivolous attitude, if imposed on a gentleman, will damage my virtue; If it is imposed on the villain, it will bring fatal disaster. Your disaster is not far away! I can't bear to watch you wander, please let me leave. " Shengfeng cried in fear and told her that he regretted it. Fourteen Niang said, "If you want me to stay, you must make an agreement with me: from now on, stay indoors, don't play with others, and don't drink too much." Shengfeng accepted the instruction seriously.
Fourteen Niang thrives on housekeeping and engages in textile work every day. Sometimes I go back to my parents' home to visit relatives and never stay overnight. I often make a living with money. If I have spare money every day, I will put it in the piggy bank. Close the door every day, let the old servant come out to receive visitors and send him away.
One day, the king of Chu received an invitation, and Fourteen Niang burned it to keep it from Shengfeng. The next day, Sheng Feng mourned outside the city. He happened to see his son in the funeral home. Julia child grabbed his arm, invited him, and Shengfeng forgave his own things. The son asked the servant to pull Feng's reins and push him home. When he got home, his son immediately arranged a banquet. Shengfeng asked him to go back early again. Childe do everything possible to stop, let the female musicians raised at home come out to play the piano for fun. Feng, who has always been bold and unrestrained, is bored at home. Suddenly, he drank a lot and became more interested. He no longer takes his wife's words to heart. So he got drunk and fell asleep in his seat. The son's wife, Ruan Shi, is very fierce and jealous, and neither the servant girl nor the concubines dare to make up. A few days ago, a servant girl entered her son's study, was caught by Ruan Shi, and hit the servant girl on the head with a stick, and her head was broken and she died. Because Shengfeng laughed at him, he hated Shengfeng and wanted to get back at him every day, so he planned to get drunk and falsely accused him of killing the maid. Shengfeng fell asleep drunk, carried the body to Shengfeng, closed the door and left. Shengfeng woke up at the fifth watch and found himself sleeping on the table. I got up to look for a pillow and a bed, but I found something soft and tripped him. Touched it, it turned out to be a person, thinking it was a servant sent by his master to sleep with him. But I still kicked her, and when I lifted it, I found it was stiff. He was so scared that he went out and shouted. All the servants in Gongzi's family stood up, raised torches, found the body, caught Shengfeng, and shouted angrily. The son came out to identify the body, falsely accused Shengfeng of raping and killing the servant girl, arrested him and sent him to Guangping yamen. The next day, 14 niang didn't know about it. She burst into tears and said, "I knew this would happen!" " So I send money to Shengfeng every day. When Shengfeng saw the prefect, he could not avenge himself. Sooner or later, I will be beaten and my flesh and blood will be shot down. Fourteen Niang personally went to visit the prison for questioning. When Shengfeng saw her, she was very sad and speechless. ShiSiNian knew that the trap was dug deep and advised him to confess, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and blood. Shengfeng cried and agreed.
When interceding in the earthquake year, even close neighbors didn't come to offer condolences. When she got home, she sighed and let the maid go out to work. Live alone for a few days and find a matchmaker to buy a good woman. The woman's name is Lu 'er, and she is only fifteen years old. She is very beautiful. Fourteen niangs eat and live together, which is different from ordinary servants. Sheng Feng admitted manslaughter and was sentenced to hang. The old servant was speechless with tears when he got the news. Fourteen Niang heard about it, as cool as a cucumber as if she didn't mind. It's the day of execution in autumn soon, and the Fourteen Niangs will be as busy as a bee, leaving early and returning late, and the pace will not stop. Often sad in secluded corners and prisons, to the point of eating and sleeping. One day, at first light, the fox servant girl suddenly came back. Fourteen Niang immediately got up and whispered to her. I came out smiling. Do housework as usual. The next day, the old servant went to visit the prison, and Shengfeng asked him to take a message to Fourteen Niang to come here to see her off. The old servant came back to tell her that fourteen Niang freely agreed, and she was not sad, but ignored him. The family talked privately about her cruelty. Suddenly, everyone on the road spread that Chu Yintai was dismissed and the emperor appointed Pingyang as an observer to hear the case. The old servant heard the news and told it happily for fourteen years. Fourteen Niang was also very happy, and immediately sent someone to the yamen to inquire, only to find that Shengfeng had been released from prison. Everyone was sad and happy. Soon the son was caught and brought to court, and the whole case was known as soon as he was interrogated. Shengfeng was released from the classroom and went home. When I came back, I saw Fourteen Niangs in tears, and Fourteen Niangs also looked at him crying. Sadness is followed by happiness. But Shengfeng still doesn't know how to let the emperor know about it. Fourteen Niang smiled and pointed to the fox and said, "This is your hero." Chengfeng asked in surprise.
It turned out that Fourteen Niangs sent maids to Beijing to tell Shengfeng about their grievances in the palace. The maid came and found a guard in the palace. She lingered in the trench and couldn't go in for months. The servant girl is afraid of an accident and wants to go back and think about the plan again. Suddenly she heard that the emperor was going to Datong, so she went first and pretended to be a wandering prostitute. When the emperor went to a brothel, the maids were very popular with him. The emperor thought that the servant girl was not like a prostitute, so he cried. The emperor asked, "What grievances do you have?" The servant girl said, "I'm from Guangping, Zhili, and I'm the daughter of student Feng. My father sold me to a brothel because he would be executed for unfair imprisonment. " The emperor looked pitiful and gave her one hundred and twenty gold. When he left, he inquired about the incident in detail, wrote down his name with paper and notes, and said that he would enjoy the happiness with the girl. The maid said, "I just want to reunite with my father and son, not to get rich." The emperor nodded before he left. The girl told Shengfeng about it. Shengfeng hurried forward to thank humbly, tears streaming down her face.
After a while, Fourteen Niang suddenly said to Shengfeng, "I don't want to cause so much trouble because of my feelings and fate." When you were arrested, I ran around among my relatives for help, and no one helped me with an idea. The mood at that time was really indescribable. It's getting more and more boring to see the world now. I have prepared a good wife for you, and we can break up. Hearing this, the "ChengFeng prone on the ground can't afford to cry, fourteen niang didn't leave. Lu Er was asked to sleep with Sheng Feng at night, but Sheng Feng refused. Seeing fourteen Niang in the morning, her face is declining; After more than a month, she slowly grew old; After half a year, her face was as black as a village girl; Shengfeng respects her, and his love for her has never changed. Fourteen Niang suddenly said she was leaving again, saying, "You have a good wife. Why do you need me as an ugly ghost? " Sheng Feng cried as if she had wanted to leave her before. Another month passed, and Fourteen Niangs fell ill. She didn't eat or drink and lay weakly in the bedroom. Shengfeng served her to take medicine, just like her parents. Wizards and doctors were useless, and Fourteen Niang eventually died of illness. Shengfeng's sadness has reached the extreme. Give the fox's maid money at once and do something for ShiSiNian. A few days later, the fox maid also left, so he took Lu as his wife. A year later, I gave birth to a son. However, after years of poor harvests, the family situation is getting worse and worse. Husband and wife have no choice but to worry about the shadow. It suddenly occurred to me that ShiSiNian often put money in the piggy bank in the corner of the lobby. I wonder if the money is still there. When I arrived at that place, I found all kinds of containers full of money. The money is piled up, and it's too hard to poke with chopsticks. Break the piggy bank and the money will be full. From then on, his family immediately became very rich.
Later, when the old servant arrived at Taihua Mountain, he saw fourteen Niang riding a blue mule, followed by a fox servant girl riding a donkey. Fourteen Niang asked, "Is Lang Feng all right?" Say, "Please greet my master, I have become an immortal." Then he disappeared.
Yi Shi said: "Most frivolous words come from scholars, which is a pity for gentlemen." I once risked my name, saying that grievances are far away, but I did not hesitate to stand in the forest of gentlemen, but I didn't care about fortune. Like Shengfeng, he almost died because of a small sentence. If he doesn't have a fairy wife, how can he get out of prison and live in the world? It's terrible. "
