When Chen Jingjing heard that Ximen Qing finally changed his mind and no longer forced him to marry his snake daughter, and even said that he would practice it the next day, he couldn't help but recite Amitabha to himself. After making up his mind, in order not to arouse Ximen Qing's
Suspicious, Chen Jingji took advantage of the situation and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Little did he know that after leaving his room, a contemptuous sneer appeared on Ximen Qing's face.
On the next day, Ximen Qing sent Chen Jingjing's master and servant to Shili Changting early in the morning. Chen Jingjing made a wish, saying that as soon as he got back, he would study hard, and if he won the top prize, he would return to Qinghe to marry him, and so on, etc., and all he said for a while was ridiculous.
.Ximen Qing’s east ear went in and the west ear came out, which actually attracted Elder Dao Jian from Yongfu Temple nearby to come out to pay homage to the Buddha’s miracle.
Less than half a month after Chen Jingyi left, a letter arrived from the Chen family in Tokyo. When Ximen Qing opened it, he saw Chen Hong and Chen Dakuan talking about the cold weather in the letter.
His mood is sentimental, he is happy but not sad, and his arms are full of autumn. I look on with cold eyes, his spirit is cold and his appearance is thin, and his skin is not as long as his life. I am afraid that my son will return to the west on a crane, and my love may be ruined for the rest of his life. I still hope that brother Ximen will die.
Show pity to others and be kind to others, but if you don't bear it, you will be hated forever!"
Ximen Qing held the letter and almost fell off his chair with laughter. Could it be that Chen Hong was Fang Hongjian who traveled through time from Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Fortress Besieged"? He barely restrained his mischievous intentions, so he didn't
Make a copy of the original copy of Fang Hongjian's father's scolding express letter and send it back.
When I opened the brocade box that came with the letter, I saw, as expected, that my daughter's Gengmei invitation card was safely placed inside. After all the hard work the day before, I finally got something today - my daughter's marriage was settled cleanly.
Clean, no more trouble!
Ximen Qing laughed loudly and ordered someone to take the Geng Tie in and give it to Yueniang to calm the hearts of mother and daughter. He himself wrote a reply letter saying that his daughter had become disfigured after suffering a strange disease.
It was ugly, and I no longer dared to have the ambition to climb high. I just hoped that the two families could keep in touch with each other as before, and not lose the sense of closeness, etc. After writing the letter, I called up the Chen family who had sent the letter and offered some words of comfort.
After a few words, he was rewarded with two bunches of money and sent on his way.
He also ordered Da'an to go to Zishi Street to invite Granny Wang. As soon as Granny Wang arrived, Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Wang Ganniang, you have a good plan! Just now, the divorce document from the Chen family has arrived! My daughter has to get married.
Bitter sea, it all relies on your plan to support me. I have one hundred and twenty coins here, so I ask my godmother to accept it!"
Grandma Wang was the one who took the lead in breaking off the engagement. She first used pieces of fish scales to forcibly paste rows of terrifying scales on the little girl's face. The realism of the scales was that of the clever Sister-in-law Wen.
Son, even in the dimness, I saw something wrong and recognized the lie as the truth.
Mrs. Wang had already known that Chen Jingjing was a drunkard and a womanizer. Since his fiancée's appearance was ruined, how could he be willing to get married as promised? In addition, there was a friendly appearance by Wen's sister-in-law in the middle, adding fuel and jealousy to Chen Jingjing, which further strengthened the young man's repentance of the marriage.
heart of.
After returning to Tokyo, Chen Jingjing was very eloquent. He first persuaded his mother, and then mother and son worked together to shake the Song Gao coach. At this point, the document to break off the engagement flew into the west gate lightly and skillfully.
Qing is in hand.
When Mrs. Wang heard that the marriage was cancelled, she smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. She congratulated her repeatedly: "If it weren't for the Star Lord and the high officials, who know people well and do their jobs well, I wouldn't be able to get this good fortune!"
Ximen Qing thought: "If you, an old pious woman, hadn't been so eye-catching in Water Margin, even if Ximen officials wanted to know people and do their jobs well, they would have been useless!"
At this time, the old lady began to pretend to refuse: "Star Lord, you are a high-ranking official, originally it was a hundred guan, but why did you suddenly get an extra 20 guan? This old woman has no merit and no reward, so this money is very hot to hold!"
"
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Wang Qianniang, you don't have to be polite. Heaven knows and earth knows, gods know and ghosts know, you know and I know, Yueniang knows, my daughter knows, Zhao Naogui knows, and no one else knows. I think
It’s hard work for my godmother to be tight-lipped all day long, so I’ll prepare the extra twenty bucks and ask my godmother to buy some appetizing and spleen-boosting fruit food so that I can spend some time.”
How could Mrs. Wang not understand the meaning behind Ximen Qing's words? When she heard this, she smiled and said, "Star Lord, all officials, please rest assured. I want to live a few more years with Star Lord's blessings! How dare you dig your own grave and offend me?"
Star Lord? Some things must be carried into the coffin in this life."
Ximen Qing laughed and nodded: "In that case, Wang Ganniang, please go back now! If your son comes back from Huaishang and wants to make a stable living, let him come to see me!"
When Grandma Wang heard this, she was very grateful and thought to herself: "I only talked about the chat about my son a few days ago. It was just that the high official of the Star Lord was pretending to be in love with me, but I didn't want to think that after all these days, he would still be there."
Keep it in your heart.”
Immediately, he knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to Ximen Qing to bid farewell. He just said, "Don't worry, Star Lord, officials!"
, sent her back to the tea house.
After sending Wang Po away, he called Da'an over and said, "Go to the four-eye well of Erlang Temple's Sanzhuan Bridge in Toutiao Lane outside the east gate of Qinghe River and find Zhao Nanggui for me."
Daian then complained: "It's freezing cold today. If you call someone, you can just let me run once. But you have to divide it into two times and let me run twice..."
Ximen Qing laughed and scolded: "You lazy little monkey! You've become accustomed to it, haven't you?" Daian's neck shrank and he flew away.
After half a day, Daian and Zhao Naogui came back in the snow and cold. The man who came to the door let Zhao Naogui in, but stopped Daian and said with a smile: "Little monkey, I ordered you to go to the county government office again."
Before, please invite Mr. He over..."
Before he finished speaking, Daian screamed: "I'm so miserable -"
Daian was miserable, and the Zhao Naogui he invited back was not much better. As soon as he entered Ximen Qing's study, he heard a loud shout: "Zhao Naogui, do you understand your guilt?"
Zhao Naogui was startled. He looked up and saw Ximen Qingzheng staring at him with bright eyes. His knees softened and he knelt down involuntarily: "Young man dare not deceive the Star Lord and the officials. You are guilty!"
When Ximen Qing heard this, he was quite surprised and asked: "What crime do you have? I'll charge you with the truth!" Thinking that he actually played the role of Xia Tixing in Li Zhixian County today, Ximen Qing couldn't help but secretly laugh.
Zhao Naogui burst into tears: "Little man...little man...little man, I seriously injured another patient today..."
Ximen Qing was shocked: "Can we still be saved?"
Zhao Daogui cried: "Fortunately, it's just a trauma! The villain was so bold that he sent him to the medicine shed of the star master..."
Ximen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said fiercely: "Huh! You! You are ignorant and incompetent, how hateful! If you hadn't done some good work in my daughter's divorce, then the bull-headed horse-faced man in front of the Yama Palace would
, I would have captured you in the eighteenth level of hell, pounded you with a pestle, cut you with a saw, stuffed you into a pot of oil and fried you!"
Zhao Daogui shuddered when he heard this, and quickly kowtowed with tears: "Thank you, Star Lord, for sparing me the suffering!"
Ximen Qing frowned and shouted: "Get up and talk!" Zhao Naigui stood up with runny nose and tears and stood aside like a cat avoiding a mouse.
Ximen Qing sighed and said warmly: "Look at you! You are also a tall and tall man! You answered Chen Jingjing that day with all your words, which shows how smart you are! Why don't you concentrate on studying medicine?
Do you want to go around and cheat? Fortunately, no one was executed today. If he were executed, the three Cao Cao in the Senluo Treasure Hall in the Netherworld would confront you, and I would not have the shame to plead for you!" As he spoke, his tone became harsh.
Zhao Naogui's knees went weak and he wanted to bend his knees again. Fortunately, Ximen Qing noticed and shouted again: "Stand straight!" Zhao Naogui didn't kneel down.
Wiping a handful of tears, Zhao Daogui said sadly: "Star Lord, you are a high official, it's not that I don't want to study medicine well, it's just that my family has been poor since I was a child, and the medical books passed down by my ancestors have been torn into pieces.
He only guessed at random, relying on his thick skin and courage to get a little fame. But the little money he got was only enough to eat. If he talked about apprenticeship and learning skills, it was really a dream.
There are things that can’t be seen here. Why don’t I want to be an imperial doctor in an upright and upright manner? I have real materials in my stomach, and when I look, hear, and ask, I feel stable, but...but..."
Zhao Naogui cried loudly: "...but...the villain's reputation has been ruined by the villain! When the other doctors saw me, they snorted and treated me like a lost dog.
.I wanted to discuss a prescription with someone with a smile on my face, but I was also hot-faced and cold-assed. No one took me seriously. Lord Star Lord, you are a man who knows everything. Whenever I have a way out, no one takes me seriously.
, why should I deceive others? Do some people naturally like the feeling of being a villain? Who knows the suffering of a villain! Wow ah ah ah..."
Ximen Qing remained silent and just wrote something on the table. When Zhao Naigui was almost crying, he asked: "If there is an opportunity to change over and start a new life, would you be willing to take it?"
Zhao Daogui's eyes brightened, but then dimmed again: "Did the Star Lord official say that I'm going to die? I'm going to be reincarnated?"
Ximen Qing sneered and said, "You idiot! See it for yourself!" As he said that, he threw a post in his hand in front of Zhao Naigui.
Zhao Daogui picked it up and read it at a glance. The more he read, the more excited he became. He suddenly fell to his knees again and cried loudly: "Official Ximen takes such good care of the little one. The little one works like a cow and a horse. I have to repay your kindness."
Great kindness! Wow ah ah ah..."
Ximen Qing said in a cold voice: "Stand up! Let me tell you, if a word about my daughter is leaked to the outside, it will all be your fault! At that time, I will tell the Tenth Palace Yama to knock you into the eighteenth level.
Hell, you will never be able to recover from all the calamities!"
Zhao Daogui did not stand up, but cried so hard that he could not speak.
The next day, news came out in Qinghe County that the famous doctor He Lao Lao had accepted a new apprentice, but it was Zhao Naogui, who had always cheated and deceived him. During the apprenticeship ceremony, Lord Ximen, who came to watch the ceremony, said sixteen words -
- "If a person is not a sage, how can he have no faults? There is no greater good than turning back from the sea of suffering!" This is exactly:
There is no boat in the sea of misery, but I can see the green lotus planted by the blazing fire. If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation in the next chapter.
