[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

King Yong left Yangcheng with a lot of harvest and the praise of the people, and went to Yicheng.Before leaving, the magistrate of Yangcheng took a few county magistrates and subordinate officials to see him off outside Puji Temple in person. This time he finally saw the legendary big bird, which shocked the eyes of everyone present. They were like a group of fools. He raised his head at the same angle, reluctant to blink his eyes, and watched the big bird disappear into the air.For a long time, until the neck was sore, the blue sky and white clouds were all in front of my eyes, and I could no longer see a trace of the big bird before I was willing to put my head down.

The magistrate of Yangcheng didn't care about the soreness of his neck, and the first thing he did when he returned to the government office was to write a memorial in thousands of characters, which clearly explained the cause and effect of the Puji Temple incident, and praised the achievements of King Yong implicitly and cleverly. And the praise of the people.Then he described the magic of the big bird very aptly.One of the quotes is quite ingenious: Wei Chen once thought that "there is a fish in the north, and its name is Kun. The size of the Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; it turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. The back of the Peng, I don't know." It is thousands of miles away; it flies in anger, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky." It is a legend of ghosts and monsters, which cannot be believed.Fortunately today, I saw with my own eyes that there is a bird in Daqi, which is called an airplane.The plane is so big, I don't know how many thousands of people it can hold; it turns into a bird, flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky, I don't know how many thousands of miles it can fly in a day.Your majesty is blessed with great blessings equal to the heavens, wise and powerful, and it is the blessing of Daqi and the fortune of all ages to attract this divine opportunity to come into the world.

In the end, I gave a little bit of self-government and poor supervision, so I let these evil monks continue to harm the people. Fortunately, God warned, King Yong was quick, the wicked succeeded, and the people were blessed. Such things that harm the people and endanger the country are like this.

Leaving aside how Yangcheng magistrate boasted about the outcome of this incident, Jiang Yingrong and King Yong had already arrived at Ziyun Nunnery, but they stood far away and did not approach. It turns out that the smell here is really bad, especially in the hot weather. , Swarms of flies flew out from the nunnery from time to time, the gate of the nunnery and the surrounding walls were stained with a lot of rotten egg liquid and rotten vegetable leaves, judging from the mottled appearance of the walls, there should be a lot of swill splashed on the walls. s things.

The [-] elite soldiers who had arrived dutifully guarded the surroundings of the nunnery. After all, they were well-trained people, and they could still guard without batting an eyebrow in this environment.The group of them arrived at Ziyun Nunnery two days ago in a hurry. After the chief officer handed over King Yong's handwriting to the magistrate of Yicheng, he led people to surround him tightly.As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, they relieved the sufferings of the nuns in Ziyun Nunnery. At least there were soldiers guarding them.

However, the food remained unchanged, and they only ate white flour steamed buns and a bowl of clear porridge every day, and the pickle lumps or sauerkraut leaves that were discarded in the past became things that the nuns fought for.We must know that this kind of food was only eaten by the lowest-ranking nuns who used to be rough envoys in the past, or one of the kind-hearted old nuns in charge of the kitchen deliberately pickled some free wild vegetables in his spare time, thinking of giving it to those old nuns. The big old Ni added more dishes.I never imagined that one day I would become the life-saver of these "high-class nuns" whose eyes are above the top and who live like ladies and gentlemen on weekdays.If it wasn’t for the nunnery’s own well, drinking water would have been a problem. Only one well wouldn’t be enough for hundreds of people in the nunnery to build it at will. In the past, the “Jeannies” who bathed once a day could only hold back their sweat. Smelly and itchy, I don’t dare to yell and clamor to take a bath anymore, save some life-saving water, who knows how long this kind of imprisonment will last.

As soon as they heard that the imperial court was coming, the presiding teacher also sent someone to open the door to inquire, but the officers and soldiers on guard immediately showed their sabers, so frightened that the inquirers quickly closed the door of the nunnery, not daring to say another word.Although there was no new stench in the past two days, the nunnery also sent people to clean up as much as possible, but these days, there is a lot of kitchen garbage in the sun, and the toilets may not have been cleaned for a long time, and the garbage cannot be transported outside the nunnery for disposal. , and it is hot in summer, one can imagine how good the taste in the nunnery can be.Flies are around, and the stench is overwhelming. It is better to close the door tightly, but the door cannot be ventilated, and the room is as stuffy as a steamer. It is always uncomfortable from the inside out.Within a few days, the girls who turned out to be delicate and beautiful had little faces yellow and dry, like eggplants beaten by frost, wilting and not moist at all.

Such a smell naturally stopped King Yong and his party from moving forward, so they had to rest in the shade for the time being, and wait for the camp to be set up before arresting the key people for interrogation.In fact, compared with Puji Temple, Ziyun Nunnery is a bit insignificant, and its crimes and influence are not as serious as Puji Temple.Of course, Ziyun Nunnery is suspected of trafficking in people, persecuting innocent girls, and carrying many life lawsuits, but they are also alert. Most of the nunneries are orphans without fathers, mothers, and relatives. It is a poor family who sells their daughters. In essence, it is no different from the brothel Chuguan. If you want to have a suffering master to beat the drum and complain, you may not find a few.In terms of influence, it means ruining the reputation of Buddhism and reducing the influence and belief of Buddhism in the hearts of the people.As long as it doesn't arouse public anger and riots, it doesn't really have much to do with the imperial court, so this trip is much easier than Puji Temple, and the main purpose is to collect finances.

In the evening, when the temperature dropped a bit, the presiding teacher and a few key culprits were arrested in front of the big tent, and when they learned that the person in charge was His Royal Highness King Yong from the capital, they committed the crime like a bamboo tube pouring beans Explained clearly.It's just that the recent days have been so miserable that they couldn't bear it any longer. They were afraid that if something bad happened, they would be shut back into the nunnery again, and they would continue to live in the stinky smell.

But this time, a county magistrate under Yicheng was pulled out, that is, Qinghe County where Ziyun Temple is located. This is the largest county in Yicheng, and the county magistrate is Li Changqing.Why does the little county magistrate dare to cover the sky with one hand and escort such a prostitute's house?

It is said that Li Changqing was the most lustful in his life. It is said that he had grown the belly of the little maid in the room at the age of ten. I don't know whether it was because of his bad reputation and fabricated rumors, or Li Changqing was really talented. At the age of 12, he began to go in and out of Liuxiang, the brothel and Chuguan; at the age of 14, he began to search for beauties outside, as long as he saw a good-looking one on the street, no matter whether he was married or not, whether it was a little girl or a big lady, as long as he caught his eye, he would be sure. He tried every means to capture it, but after three or five days, he lost his freshness and let go of it and threw it aside.It is said that he has a Zhuangzi who specially raises these beauties. The number of people in it is comparable to that of the emperor's Sangong and Liuyuan.

I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet. The people who were robbed before were all ordinary people. Even if their families were ruined and their wives were separated by insidious means, no one dared to sue them, so they had to knock out their teeth and swallow them.Unexpectedly, he finally kicked a piece of iron and snatched away the baby wife that Marquis Wu An had appointed for his son-in-law.This future daughter-in-law is actually from a very ordinary family, she is just the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the capital.When a wealthy businessman was young, he accidentally rescued the Marquis of Wu'an, who had not yet been named a marquis, and was just a white man. The two hit it off and got along very well. They also learned that there was a daughter-in-law who was pregnant with Liujia in the mansion, and the month was about the same. .Marquis Wu'an was also grateful for the life-saving grace of others, so he mentioned that if there is a man and a woman, then the two surnames will be married, and if there are two boys, they will be brothers, and if they are girls, they will marry Jinlan.

At that time, Marquis Wu'an's family was very ordinary. Comparing the clothes of the two, it was obvious that the wealthy businessman was more prosperous, but after mentioning this topic in a moment of gratitude, he felt a little reckless.I was going to add that it was a joke, but I didn't expect that the wealthy businessman didn't look down on the young Marquis Wu An who was dressed in ordinary clothes, and immediately took the jade pendant that he wore close to him all the year round to exchange for tokens.Marquis Wu An was deeply moved. It was someone who saved him, but in the end he licked his face and climbed up. He handed over the only more expensive thing that was left on his body to the wealthy businessman, which was a delicate and small dagger.In this way, the family of the children is established.

Unexpectedly, in the 30 years of Hedong and the 30 years of Hexi, when we met again, the white man in the past years became the high-ranking and powerful Marquis of Wu'an, leading his soldiers and being welcomed by the people.Just this title alone shows how much military merit this person has earned, and how much he is valued and loved today.When the wealthy businessman saw the high mansion of the other party's Hou family, he didn't dare to talk about it anymore. While he was happy for the old friend who had only met once, he also stopped thinking about recognizing each other. He arranged for the marriage of the only daughter when he returned. It was a joke when I was young.

The rich businessman took a break, but Marquis Wu'an still remembered that if the rich businessman hadn't rescued him back then, how could he be as full of glory as he is now.The first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to send someone to find a wealthy businessman surnamed Sun. The marriage back then would have been inseparable from the fact that both of them were from the capital. The old wife complained a lot.The person Hou Ye wanted to find was naturally easy, but in three days, the big and small matters of the Sun family were presented to Marquis Wu'an's desk.

Afterwards, the marriage was brought up again. Even if Master Sun repeatedly refused, Marquis Wu'an still had to keep his promise, and even patted his chest to ensure that his future daughter-in-law would never be bullied when she married into the Marquis' Mansion.So the marriage of the two was put on the agenda, after all, the two are not young.It's just that Mrs. Hou is unconvinced after all. When Master Hou came back to talk about this matter, Mrs. Hou was [-]% willing. After all, she was the one who was promoted by her family. Besides, she saved her husband's life, otherwise it would be better to leave orphans and widows.But now the two families have turned upside down, and one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, the difference in family background is too great.Mrs. Hou certainly hoped to find a daughter from a famous family for her son-in-law. Her own son deserved the best. How could he match the daughter of a first-class merchant? It was ridiculous.But couldn't stand Hou Ye's insistence, so he had to agree, but he didn't pay much attention to this marriage, and became contemptuous of his future daughter-in-law, thinking that the other party was deliberately blackmailing his family with the kindness of the year.

So when she learned that her future daughter-in-law was snatched away on the street, Madam Hou was not worried, but relieved that her son would no longer be dragged down by this marriage.

Naturally, Marquis Wu'an couldn't bear it, so he took his son-in-law with a long gun and killed him in front of the Li Mansion, demanding that they hand over Li Changqing and the granddaughter.But this daughter of the grandson's family was also very violent. After she was taken into captivity, taking advantage of Li Changqing's unpreparedness, she bumped her head against the head of the bed, bleeding profusely, and died on the spot.Li Changqing had never seen such a battle before, and he was so frightened that things softened immediately.

The father and son only got one corpse. If there hadn't been a lot of trouble, the Li family would not have admitted that they had kidnapped the granddaughter.In the end, in order to appease the Marquis Wu'an family, the Sun family didn't take it seriously at all, so they had to exile their most favored youngest son, Li Changqing, to other places and never return to Beijing.

The Marquis of Wu'an wanted to continue making trouble, so he went to report to the imperial court, but someone asked Madam Hou. Madam Hou persuaded the Marquis of Wu'an on the grounds that the upstarts in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion were eye-catching, and she should not offend a powerful enemy as soon as she returned to the capital. Calm things down, accept this treatment, and you will never be able to return to Beijing. This punishment is severe enough.In the end, Marquis Wu An could only do this. He didn't help his old friend to avenge his only daughter. Marquis Wu An felt very guilty and dared not face his friend, so the two families gradually cut off contact.

It was said that he was exiled, but it was because the Li family entrusted the relationship to put him in Yicheng, and after the rumors passed, he even found a job as a county magistrate.The wife of the Li family loved the youngest son and made up for a lot of family belongings. Li Changqing just moved to another place to live, and was freed from the restraints of his parents and elders. year county magistrate.
