One hundred and eighty-five guard room
During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar named Liu Gezhuang, Xingtai, Hebei Province, was named Liu Qi. Before he arrived, he was promoted. The following year, the spring exam was approaching, and he wanted to go to Beijing for examination, but his family was poor and had no money. His parents offered their faces and asked all their relatives and friends to gather together and gather them together. He packed up his clothes, said goodbye to his parents, and went to Beijing to visit him.
It takes ten days to walk from the capital to save fees. In order to save fees, Liu only ate one meal a day and found the cheapest hotel. A few days later, he walked to Zhengding Prefecture City, with shops adjacent to the city, and people came and went. He saw a divination stall on the side of the road, and a sign was placed next to the stall table. The first book was: The fortune teller face and character drawing, the Yin and Yang Bagua were drawn, and the second book was: Can you tell good or bad luck. A silver-bearded old Taoist priest sat at the stall table, holding a whisk in his hand, closing his eyes to rest. His thoughts: I went to Beijing to take the exam, but the good or bad luck was unknown.
Why not ask for it? Then he went up and asked, "How much does it cost to get the hexagram?" The old Taoist opened his eyes slightly and looked at the person who came, saying, "Tu a hexagram of ten words, and the lottery ticket will not be taken." He heard that the lottery ticket was not taken, so he randomly drew it from the lottery ticket, and read it. The four words of the book were: the humiliation under the crotch. This is the lower lottery ticket. He knew that when Han Xin had not yet made a comeback, he was teased by a scoundrel and was humiliated by the crotch of the crotch. He felt that he was unlucky, so he abandoned the lottery ticket at the tube, and turned around and left depressed.
Before he took a few steps, he heard the Taoist priest say, "Young Master, don't be discouraged. After the humiliation under the crotch, you will be extremely upset." Liu turned around, smiled bitterly, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your good words, I wish you could do this." He left unhappily.
Liu Xu walked out of the city and was not far from the city. He heard the ringing of the carriage behind him. He flashed to the side of the road and saw a carriage passing by. There were several maids on both sides of the carriage, riding a horse guard, which was extremely imposing. The curtain of the carriage suddenly lifted up and the head of the passenger was poked out. A young lady looked at the roadside, facing her eyes. The lady seemed embarrassed and shrank her head back to the wing. In an instant, another lady looked out of the wing, looked at her, and then she fell down the curtains. She was confused and didn't know what the two ladies meant.
It was almost dusk, and Liu walked for about two miles. He saw the road was rugged, with no village in front and no shop behind. He passed by the nightfall and regretted his greed. At this moment, he heard a sudden shout, and more than ten people jumped out of the dead grass on both sides of the road, blocking the way. The leader held a steel knife and shouted loudly, "I want to pass by now, leave money to buy the road!" He was shocked and knew that he had encountered a robber, so he looked at it carefully. Oh! How strange! Under the twilight, he saw that the bandit leader was a handsome woman. However, under the bright steel knife, the robbers did not distinguish between men and women, and were both robbed money.
If he protects his wealth, he will die. He knelt down and said, "I am going to Beijing to take the exam, and I will pay him a lot of money. Please forgive me!" The female bandit leader shouted: "Don't pretend to be poor, search for him!" Several bandits came forward to search for him, and robbed him of all the silver he had brought. He asked hard: "Please show mercy to the female hero. Can you leave a few days of food and accommodation? I am very grateful!" However, the female bandit leader actually asked for his head and agreed to him, abandoning the land for a few cents, and ordered him, "Pick it up quickly, get out!" He quickly picked up the copper plate, ran away with his head and fled, and ran away.
Liu escaped dozens of steps, and suddenly heard the female bandit leader behind him shouting, "Stop! Why don't you ride a horse when you go to Beijing to take the exam?" Liu Zhibu replied, "My family is poor, how can you ride a horse?" The female bandit leader said, "Please take my horse." After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to lead a horse from the grass and put the reins in his hand. Hey? How strange! How could this bandit act like a robber in the world? He was confused but did not dare to take it. The female robber shouted loudly and said, "Come the horses and go quickly!" Liu trembled and climbed up the horse. The female bandit leader stepped forward, and slammed the horse's butt with the back of a knife, and the horse ran away wildly.
After walking for about five miles, night fell. Liu saw a high-gate courtyard in front of him. The red lights were hanging high outside the door. Under the lights, there were plaques on the door, with two words written on it: Li's mansion, four families standing at the door. He led his horse forward, smiled, bowed to the officials of the family, and asked if he could stay at him. The family looked embarrassed and refused politely, "We dare not make decisions about this matter. If the master knew that I stayed at outsiders, I would be unable to forgive him." Liu Nan looked away and wanted to leave. But he saw that the door was open. Two ladies stepped out. He looked at it carefully and saw that the two ladies had just seen the car. He knew that the lady had returned. He wanted to ask for it, but he was ashamed to speak and stood up embarrassedly.
The two ladies were wearing red shirts and the other were wearing yellow shirts. Seeing Liu's embarrassment, they both smirked. They just talked to Liu and said to the lady in red shirts, "Miss, this young man missed the night, can he let him stay for one night?"
This wealthy family's surname is Li. Miss Hongshan is the daughter of the Li family, and Miss Huangshan is his cousin. But her cousin said first: "Cousin, you can take in outsiders at will. If your origin is unknown, how can you agree to it?" Liu suddenly felt that it was difficult to hear it when he heard it.
Having been trying to lead the horse away, Miss Li stopped him and said, "Young Master, please wait." She smiled and said to her cousin, "This young master is asking for a stay, and we should do our best to help him." But her cousin said, "There is a hotel in front of me, why don't this young master go to ask for a stay?" Liu Yigu said, "Two ladies, I am a son who went to Beijing to take the exam. I just met a robber, and I was robbed and was short of money, so I asked her to stay." My cousin wanted to say again, so Miss Li gently pulled her cousin's clothes and whispered a few words. The two ladies smiled. Miss Li called her servants to approach her, and asked her with her ears and softly. The servants frequently lit their heads. After the explanation, the two ladies turned around and left.
The servant said to Liu, "The master has already asked the young master to stay and ask him to lead his horse into the house and follow me." The servant brought lanterns to lead the way. Liu saw that there were many houses and yards in the mansion, so he followed him closely.
When he entered the backyard, he saw a stone-built cottage on the back door. The servant stopped and pushed the door inward to look inward. Then he made a gesture to Liu. Liu saw that the house was short and the door was only three feet tall. He bent in. Although the house was not big, living alone was enough. However, there was nothing in the house. He couldn't help but wonder, how to live in this person? The servant knew his thoughts and said, "Young Master, don't be anxious. This house is called a guard room. No one has cleaned it for many days. I immediately asked someone to take the bedding. I wonder if the young master had eaten it?" He said, "Dinner has not eaten it yet." The servant said, "I'll go to the kitchen to get it, please wait." After leaving, the servant came back for a short time, he brought two large pots of leftover food. He was already hungry and swallowed it voraciously, and left a few beards outside the door of the house.
Someone had already taken the bedding and straw mat, spread the bedding on the straw mat, and settled it down, and the servants were gone. Liu Benbo was extremely tired and got into the house, lay down, and it was so refreshing that he was so happy that he fell into the house.
The next morning, Liu woke up and saw a big yellow dog lying beside him. He was shocked and quickly got up and went out. The dog then got out, leaving the leftover food in the basin outside the food door. When he was confused, he heard footsteps approaching. A handsome woman approached him and looked at him carefully and was shocked. This woman was the female leader who was robbed last night. He was suddenly trembling and was at a loss. The woman approached and said, "Young Master, don't be surprised, I have no ill intentions." After saying that, he took ten taels of silver and handed it to his hands, saying that this was funding, hoping for the title of the gold list. Liu Ru entered the clouds and fog, and refused in panic and did not dare to accept it. The woman advised, "This is my intention. If you don't accept it, you will let me down." The woman stuffed the silver into her arms and smiled and left.
Liu led his horse out of Li's mansion in panic and ran to the capital. He naturally no longer felt embarrassed if he had enough money. He went to Beijing and found a hotel to stay there. He didn't think about what he had encountered. He ate enough and slept soundly, and his spirit increased. He passed the examination easily. On the day of the palace examination, he answered in front of the imperial examination. The emperor was overjoyed and appointed him as a Jinshi, and he was appointed as the sixth rank, and took office as the prefect of Zhengding.
Liu Xinzhi, if there was no funding for the female bandit leader in the robbery, he might have died in a foreign land. After taking office, he did not forget his kindness and wanted to know the inside story to solve the doubts. He personally went to Li's mansion to pay him a visit to Li Yuanwai and his lady Li Qiao, and gave rewards to the Li Mansion. He wanted to give the female bandit leader and the doorkeeper to relieve the doubts in his heart, but it was difficult to see it.
Liu Qi was surprised and asked Miss Li why it was difficult to see her. Miss Li looked strange and said, "The guardian has been dismissed because of the robbery. I don't know which female leader is. The magistrate is afraid that he will recognize the wrong person." He returned to his old place but did not see his old friend, and his doubts arise.
Three days later, Liu Xun inspected the hometown outside the city and returned to the house in the afternoon. Halfway through, he saw a woman carrying her luggage on her back, crying and looking at her carefully, and he was robbing the female leader! Hey? He met unexpectedly and urgently ordered the yamen runners to take her back to trial.
After being sent to the court for interrogation, the female bandit leader revealed the truth:
The female bandit leader named Wang Mei, who was eighteen years old, was the personal maid of Miss Li Qiao in Li's Mansion. That day, Wang Mei accompanied Miss Li to the city to visit relatives in Huang's Mansion. When she returned, Li Qiao invited her cousin, Miss Huang Jiao to return together. The two ladies were riding on the same car and walked outside the city. Li Qiao saw Liu Yu walking in the same direction outside the car, so she lifted the curtains and looked at him outside the car, and said to Huang Jiao: "My cousin looked at him quickly. A scholar outside the car came with him and saw that he was cold.
The sour face seems to be in a down-and-out manner." Huang Jiao also raised the curtain and looked out, saying, "Although there is a down-and-out appearance, his eyes are firm and unfulfilled." Li said, "I dare to assert that this poor scholar is poor. If he lets him stay at my doghouse overnight, he will definitely not agree." Huang said, "No, if he recognizes the doghouse, he will definitely not sleep!" The two ladies were fighting for a long time, so they bet, and they will bet with ten taels of silver to win and lose, and the high fives were determined.
In order to win this bet, Miss Li Qiao sent a maid Wang Mei to lead the maid's servant to her family.
The number one pretended to be a robber, forced to rob the money Liu brought, leaving him penniless and stayed in Li's house.
Wang Mei had to obey the order and led several maids to ambush in the grass. When Liu Xing approached, he rushed out with a shout. Liu was robbed and all his property was searched. He begged the robbers to leave a little copper plate for consumption. Wang Mei felt compassion and threw several pieces of the ground. When he was picking up his life quickly, Wang Mei couldn't bear to be fished and put them in the game, so he gave the horses, intending to whip his horses, escape from Li's mansion, and stay in the hotel, then Miss Li's bet would be lost.
Wang Mei was in charge of a doghouse at the back door of Li's mansion, which was dubbed the guard room by the crowd of Li's mansion. Wang Mei returned late and saw Liu finally entering the trap, and slept at the guard room at night. Although she was angry that Miss Li hated her for fun, she was helpless. The next morning, Miss Li made a bet and simply rewarded Wang Mei with the ten taels of silver she won. In order to recover the damage of playing bandits, Wang Mei gave the reward silver to Liu, hoping that Liu Ma would succeed and the gold list would be on the list.
When Liu Chun was in the imperial examination, he was appointed as the prefect of Zhengding. Miss Li was afraid that the incident would be exposed and was retaliated against him. He successively dismissed the guards and Wang Mei. Wang Mei was from Handan. Zhengding had no relatives and had to walk back to his hometown. Unexpectedly, he met Liu on the way...
Liu finished hearing this and was furious. How could I eat and live with the dog? How could I stop after being humiliated? His mother listened carefully in the back hall and knew the reason. Daqi walked into the lobby and helped Wang Mei up. She sighed and said, "Miss Wang asked me to get up. If you don't have your kindness and righteousness, I will help you in time, how could my son have today? I wished to marry you as my daughter-in-law, would you?" Wang Mei nodded and knelt down in the hall to worship her mother-in-law.
Miss Li Qiao and Miss Huang Jiao were taken to the lobby. The prefect Liu angrily slapped the auspicious tree and shouted, "Du! The bold and slutty girl not only let me stay in the guard room at night, but also ate and hung with dogs. I was insulted by this strange humiliation, but she still dared to send someone to block the road and rob and commit a tremendous crime. I will never let it go!" The two ladies knew that they were just for fun, but they were unintentionally violating the criminal law, and it was too late to regret it! Li Bian said, "The grass girl was only joking at that time, but she didn't expect to make a big mistake, so I asked for forgiveness from the elders." The two women kowtowed like chickens pecking at the broken rice, crying and begging.
Liu was furious and was sentenced to parade the streets with his big yellow dog for one day, but he was still not satisfied. Later, he was sentenced to eat and live in the guard room with his dog for three months, and opened the back door to show it.
When Liu and Wang Mei got married, the wedding banquet was at a happy time. A yamen ran a report and said that a fortune teller outside the mansion was asking for a meeting. Liu was stunned and thought to himself: It was decided that the fortune teller came to see him on that day. He went out to greet him. As soon as he saw him, he greeted him several times. The Taoist said, "I heard that Mr. Liu is very happy today. I want to ask for a cup of wedding wine, so I come to congratulate him." Liu Huili said, "According to what Master said, I am really happy now. I am very grateful. Please enter the mansion to drink."
Taoist priest was invited to the banquet. During the wedding party, he knew that the scholar's name was Xiaohongzi, and he lived in a place of residence, and was home in all over the world. After the wedding party, Liu wanted to divine it again. Xiaohongzi happily took out the tag and said, "Please draw another tag to divine it." So he shook the tag, Liu draws a tag, read it, and saw the four words of the tag book: Meeting in the ancient city. Xiaohongzi explained, "This tag is to be marked. Guan Gong and Zhang Fei have been separated for many years. Fortunately, the ancient city has met. However, although this tag is marked, it is hidden in blood disasters. It is necessary to guard against it." Liu was puzzled and asked why. Xiaohongzi explained, "Brothers in the ancient city meet, I am very happy to be satisfied with it.
It was true, but Zhang Fei suspected that Guan Gong was cheating. After meeting, he held his spear and stabbed the feathers. Guan quickly avoided it. Before stabbing it, he almost caused a bloody disaster. Now the master paraded the two girls on the streets and accompanied the dog for three months. It was really too good to be correct. Li's mansion was the richest man in Zhengding, and his family was in great power. How could he be revenge? His power was not tolerated, and he would invite a master to do something difficult. This matter is afraid that he would be extremely happy and sad. Therefore, he asked the master to raise his hands and avoid the crime of the two girls. The resentment between the two sides was calm." Liu Sizhi had been aware of Xiaohong's words being reasonable, so he said, "Master reminded me that the official immediately releases the two girls and will no longer investigate the crime."
Three days later, Liu Ye read, sat cross-legged on the side of the desk table, and suddenly a dagger flew into the window. With a slight sound, the dagger brought a note and entered the desk table. Liu was shocked and looked out the window. He saw a black shadow passing by, hurriedly lying under the desk table. After a long time, he was brave enough to pull out the dagger. He saw the note: "You have punished the two girls for being miserable. The two girls were naughty and joking. The guard room was also more powerful than sleeping on the streets, so he should not care. Now he has heard that you have saved the two girls from being wrong. If this is not the case, you will definitely take your life!"
After Liu Yue finished speaking, he sighed, "Alas! Xiaohongzi is really a god. He can predict the future. If I don't follow what he said, my life will be over!"
