Chapter Eleven
A naked bay-red horse walked through the East City Gate with its head held high, and stopped outside the door of Li Mingqiu's house. It gnawed on the door knocker and made a clanking sound. The housekeeper opened the door and saw that his horse was back.
The owner was nowhere to be seen.
Li Mingqiu's daughter-in-law, Qu Manxiang, is the daughter of Qu Faxiang, one of the "Twelve Talents" in Fengqi Town. She is a few years older than Li Mingqiu. In those days, it had become the custom of Fengqi's generation for wealthy families to have a small husband and a large wife. In the first few years of marriage, the couple's relationship was okay, and Manxiang
Li Mingqiu gave birth to two boys and one girl
After the death of his father-in-law, Li Mingqiu joined the underworld, often hanging out with those crooked men, plotting against others. From then on, there was no peace in the yard, and it was always smoky. At the beginning, Manxiang once advised her husband.
, but that
Li Mingqiu was a fierce horse and could not be tied to the trough. Manxiang had no choice but to let her husband handle it. Gradually, Li Mingqiu stopped going to Manxiang's bed. At first, he still took care of his face and kept women outside.
So that later I became even more careless,
She openly brought the actor home. Manxiang had attended a private school for several years and was well versed in etiquette. She knew that Li Mingqiu was hopeless. Fortunately, she already had three children, so she simply ignored her husband's affairs and spent every day
Teaching children how to read and write can make them feel free.
After all, they have been married for more than ten years. It cannot be said that Manxiang has no affection for Li Mingqiu. Seeing the naked horse coming back, Manxiang was secretly surprised: Did something unexpected happen to her husband Li Mingqiu? Several idle ruffians from the county came to the yard.
, to inquire about Li Mingqiu’s whereabouts, Na Manxiang remained calm and said that Li Mingqiu had gone to Chang’an with the merchants selling fur goods. But someone saw him
Li Mingqiu rode a naked horse out of the east city gate. Some people also saw the horse coming back, but the owner did not come back. Manxiang couldn't deceive the gangsters. The gangsters gathered in a crowd to make trouble, each one was more aggressive than the other. When encountering difficulties, they turned their heads forward and faced each other.
After sneaking away, no one could cause trouble at the critical moment. Manxiang became impatient and asked the housekeeper to chase the rogues out of the yard and come to his uncle Tiebapan in person to discuss the matter.
Iron Abacus still has some admiration for this nephew-in-law, and he believes from the bottom of his heart that Manxiang is the "Dinghaishenzhen" of Li Mingqiu's family. It seems that this woman is indifferent to Li Mingqiu's evil deeds. In fact, Li Mingqiu's family relies entirely on Manxiang. Although Li Mingqiu
I haven’t slept with my daughter-in-law in many years, but I feel absolutely at ease with her. Almost all of the family’s income goes through Man Xiang’s hands, even Li Mingqiu’s gambling
All prostitutes had to ask for money from Manxiang, and Manxiang was extremely kind to her uncle. She persuaded him many times not to set up a stall. Li Mingqiu's body plucked a single hair from Li Mingqiu's body and it was enough for his uncle to eat and drink, but Iron Abacus wanted to save face and refused to do so.
Let people say that he relies on his nephew to support him. He regards setting up a stall as a pastime and hangs out with a group of old men while setting up a stall. After all, idleness is idle, and people have to find something to do in life.
Manxiang entered her uncle's yard and saw Ruanmo lying on the ground in the middle of the yard, asking her "son" to ride him as a horse. Manxiang knew in her heart that the so-called "son" was actually born to her uncle and Zhuye.
My daughter, Manxiang sometimes worries about her uncle. How will this family support themselves in the future?
Iron Abacus let Man Xiang into the house, and after listening to Man Xiang's explanation, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said to Man Xiang: "Don't worry, nephew-in-law, nothing will happen in Ming Qiu. If something unexpected happens in Ming Qiu, the horse will definitely not be able to do it by itself."
Running back, maybe someone deliberately let the horse back to report the news."
Manxiang said: "In the morning, Li Mingqiu and that bitch Mu Danhong went to Guo Mazi's mansion for a banquet. Mingqiu came back in a rage, but the bitch didn't come back. He took the horse from the trough, rode it out of the east gate, and headed straight to the east gate.
We went east, and half a day later, the horse came back, but Mingqiu didn't come back."
Tie Abacus persuaded his niece-in-law to go home and wait for the news, allowing him to take her time to inquire carefully. Manxiang walked out of the yard and saw her brother Ruanmo waving to her. She was confused and came to the West Building where Ruanmo and his wife Zhuye lived.
After the scandal about the father-in-law's affair spread,
Later, Zhuye felt shameless to see people, so he locked himself in the house and refused to go out. When Zhuye saw his sister-in-law coming in, he blushed, hugged his "son" and sat at the head of the kang. Manxiang sat down on the edge of the kang, thinking that his brother
What does the daughter-in-law Zhuye want to say to her, just wait patiently.
Zhuyeguang said: "Sister-in-law, please sit down" and said nothing more. Ruanmo suddenly smiled at Manxiang: "Sister-in-law, please teach me how to have sex."
Manxiang's face turned pale in a hurry, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Then she thought again, the two of them were worse off than themselves. Looking at the bamboo leaf, she scolded her husband: "Ruanmo, you are such a pig!" Then he faced the wall, his shoulders shaking,
She kept crying. Manxiang softened her heart and persuaded her sister-in-law: "Zhuye, come and sit down when you have time. Don't make yourself suffer too much."
Ruanmo smiled naively, showing his yellow teeth: "Uncle Twelve Neng said that men should know how to have sex." Manxiang blushed, "Twelve Neng" is the nickname of Manxiang's father, and almost all the men in Fengqi Street have it.
Nickname. Over time, no one called her by her real name, so it was all nicknames. Maybe my father made a joke to Ruanmo, and Ruanmo remembered it in his heart, and asked his sister-in-law to teach him how to "have sex". Little did he know that his sister-in-law was the daughter of Twelve Talents.
It stands to reason that the sister-in-law has no scruples in joking with her brother, but as a well-educated and courteous person, she is unwilling to say those dirty words. Seeing that the soft bun is indeed pitiful, she feels compassion and says to her brother: "Such a thing
It is a human instinct not to be taught by others. Sleep in your wife’s bed at night and let your wife teach you.” After saying that, without waiting for Roumo to continue asking her, he took a chance and fled from the West Building.
When he went to bed at night, Ruanmo took off his clothes, but did not get on the kang. He trotted back and forth on the floor of the house, sweating profusely. Zhuye hugged the child and sat on the kang, watching with fear. He didn't know that Ruanmo was torturing himself like that.
Why? Iron Abacus heard something unusual about the noise in the west building, climbed to the window and saw his son.
Running and jumping like crazy, he kicked open the door of the house, hugged his Hanhan son and burst into tears: "Son! Why are you so crazy?" Ruanmo wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand and said to the old man
Dad kept talking and gesticulating: "Twelve-year-old men must know how to have sex, but I don't know how to carry the house on my back."
The old man gave a wry smile: "Silly boy, you are so stupid, sex is not like this or that." Ruanmo wanted to break the casserole and asked: "What is sex like? Dad teaches his son." Iron Abacus had a swollen old face.
Turning into pig liver, he stomped out of the west mansion, returned to the upper room, sat on the kang in the dark, smoked, and felt sad.
After the father left the house, the bamboo leaf closed the door tightly and coaxed the child to sleep. Then he pulled the naked bun onto the kang, covered the bun with a quilt, took off his clothes and got in, crawled next to the ear of the bun and whispered to the bun:
"'Having sex' does not mean walking with the house on your back. That is what civilized people call it. Farmers call it day"... That Ruanmo was probably really tired.
He was sleeping on the bed without moving, letting the bamboo leaves caress him, and when he touched the thing in his leg, he suddenly stood up like never before. The bamboo leaves simply ignored him, grasped the lifeblood of Ruanmo, and introduced Ruanmo into that place.
It was a strange place. The soft bun screamed: "Dad, I don't need you to teach me, I know how to do it. There is a stove over there, it's too hot!"
After breakfast the next day, Iron Abacus made an exception and did not set up a stall. Instead, he put his hands in his sleeves and went to the donkey tavern to listen to the idle men. He asked the donkey to boil a pot of water and threw a few licorice roots into the pot.
The water tasted a little sweet, and the idlers salivated with it.
, the theme mentioned was related to Mudanhong. It was said that Mudanhong became Guo Mazi's wife and left Li Mingqiu aside. Li Mingqiu was so angry that he went to Xiangu Nunnery to ask He Xiangu for advice. He Xiangu fell in love with Li Mingqiu's outfit.
Hengrou, leaving Li Mingqiu behind is "enjoyable"...
No one noticed Tie Abacus coming in. Everyone became more and more excited as they talked, and everyone seemed to have seen it with their own eyes, making the story more lively than acting. Tie Abacus picked up some clues and concluded that Li Mingqiu was at He Xiangu's place, and he quietly came from
Call the Donkey Tavern to sneak out and ring Li Ming
When the housekeeper opened the door to Qiu's house, he saw it was Tie Abacus and let Tie Abacus in. When Tie Abacus came to the main room, he saw an incense case in the main room. Qu Manxiang was kneeling in front of the incense case, praying for Li Mingqiu. In the next room, three people
The sound of a child reading loudly could be heard.
Iron Abacus's eyes became hot, and tears blurred his eyes. This is how people live their lives! But the homemade soft buns were put down and collapsed, and they were picked up in a long list. When eating, they didn't know whether they were hungry or full. It was convenient for us to wipe the shit with the back of the hands.
When I was doing business, I was short-sighted, but when I gave birth to a son, I was short-sighted. It seems that I can no longer lose others. We have lost one person, and God has lost us for a lifetime. From now on, we must be more kind-hearted.
When Manxiang saw her uncle entering the room, she stood up and asked the housekeeper to make tea for her uncle.
Iron Abacus said: "No need to make tea. I found out that Mingqiu disappeared in Xiangu Nunnery. He Xiangu has some background in Xiangu Nunnery. Can you please put some money and let me go to Xiangu Nunnery?"
Manxiang said: "I also heard that He Xiangu is difficult to deal with, and she wants to go to both my uncle and nephew."
Tie Abacus was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a long time. Man Xiang said: "One more person brings wisdom." Tie Abacus said: "I'm worried that if you make any mistakes, it will be difficult for your nephew to explain when he comes back." Man Xiang said not afraid, we
The uncle and nephew took advantage of the situation and did not believe that He Xiangu had three heads and six arms.
While talking, the housekeeper had already prepared the horse. Manxiang dressed up carefully, wearing a pink silk jacket, a green brocade pleated skirt, a pair of embroidered shoes with three-inch golden lotus, and her hair was glossy black with water.
The golden hairpin sparkled. The iron abacus held the horse, and the housekeeper took a round stool. Manxiang stood on the round stool, with silver pedals on her feet, and her riding movements looked cool and unrestrained.
The uncle and nephew walked out of the East City Gate and headed east. Not long after walking, they saw Xiangu Nunnery. Na Manxiang got off the horse, held her skirt in one hand, moved lightly on the lotus steps, walked into Xiangu Nunnery, and took out the square handkerchief.
On the ground, she then knelt down facing the Bodhisattva and murmured: "The Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, as long as my husband Li Mingqiu can be kept safe and sound, this little woman is willing to devote her family property to rebuild the golden body of the Bodhisattva."
He Xiangu was lying on the couch smoking a cigarette when she saw Manxiang come in. She had never seen such an elegant lady in her life. Her past cunning and meanness was gone, and she felt ashamed of being inferior to others. He Xiangu said to Qu Manxiang who was kneeling on the ground:
"Get up, I'm sure your husband is intact..."
Sure enough, more than ten days later, Li Mingqiu reappeared in Fengqi County with a glowing face.
