Shangyuan Tour

At noon, ghosts play with monkeys; at noon, ghosts throw bricks.

At noon in summer, the sun is shining brightly and dazzlingly. Most of the peasants bare their bellies in the house to enjoy the cool, eat a bowl of well water, and take a nap shaking a broken fan. No fool is willing to go out and sweat profusely.

An Shen'er, the ineffective young master of An Yuan's family, sneaked into the woods next to the village. He was born like a hozen, and the stranger who asked him to stop on the road suddenly saw him, but he was not like a kid playing a monkey to bluff people.

After an hour, the sun was slightly lower, and the men carrying hoes saw An Shener coming out of the woods swaggeringly and contentedly, and wondered: How did this guy come out of here?

There is only one bamboo house in the depths of the woods, where the children of the village mostly read and write, and the sound of reciting all day long floats out of it.

After lighting the lamp, the parents asked their children a lot, what is An Shener going to school for?

Tong Yan Wuji, the milky voice replied: "Mr. Bully."

"Yo, how do you bully?"

"Urge my husband to pay the rent, if you don't pay, you will be dragged out to fight!"

"Seeing it really hit?"

"I saw it!"

The small eyes are bright, and the vows are made.

An Shen'er knelt in front of her father with a resentful face, and whispered, "What a fart!"

Mr. An has a good face, but he is not used to hearing people in the village say that his family is domineering and arrogant. They knocked him on the spine with a feather duster and scolded: "Then Mr. Pei also taught you how to read. How much is the rent worth for you to beat people?"

While hiding, An Shen'er squeezed her ugly face that looked like she was crying and crying: "I really didn't fight, even if I did, I didn't dare to exert myself!"

It really didn't work hard--

However, he patted Mr. Pei on the arm and urged him to "move faster".

What kind of "moving" method?

It was nothing more than Mr. Pei leaning on the head of the bed and aiming at his buttocks, wheezing and breathing heavily.

It was actually a good thing.

But it is impossible to say, because the folk customs are conservative and stubborn, there is still a county magistrate who hates destroying the atmosphere sitting in the yamen dozens of miles away.

An officer had already paid enough money, so Fang took a breather and asked, "How much rent does Mr. Pei owe?"

An Shen'er's eyes wandered, and she avoided the important thing and said lightly: "It's about three to five to seven or eight silver coins."

"Didn't he plant two acres of watermelon fields? It's fine to get watermelons."

"If you say that a scholar is not enlightened, he doesn't know how to crop crops. The watermelons in other people's fields are all big and sweet, but he grows them stupid and sour."

An Yuanwai laughed angrily: "Watermelon is stupid, or are you stupid? If you really can't get it, just wait until the end of the year!"

An Shen'er bowed her head in response, but thought in her heart, Mr. Pei was spared one disaster for nothing, but I got two sticks for nothing.

The next day, I ran to the school again, and asked Mr. Pei to do it a few times.

Few people know Mr. Pei's name. Some insiders said that he failed the imperial examination in that year. He was frustrated and frustrated all the way through this place. He was so happy to see the lush bamboo forest, so he spent money to build a school in it. The dolls are literate and endorsed, and live in poverty.

The watermelon fields and the bamboo grove are the property of An's family. Seeing that he is a scholar, he collected a little rent. Who would have thought that Mr. Pei owed money every year due to his poor management, and the debt accumulated over time.

An Shen'er gave him an idea: ask the doll who is studying to pay more.

Mr. Pei smiled wryly. More than half of him had no money, but at the end of the year, his parents gave some food to express their gratitude.

Days are getting worse.

After school this day, Mr. Pei went back to the house and opened the rice bowl to see the bottom. He was only worried about how to cook something to fool the god of the five internal organs. A shadow flickered outside and a person came in.

An Shen'er took out a small half bag of coarse rice from her bosom, two steamed buns, a chicken leg in her sleeve, and the wine she stole from her father hung on her waist.

Mr. Pei folded his hands and laughed at him: "Aren't you afraid of being beaten when you go back?"

An Shen'er had a good time with him, thinking that she still had the courage to stand up for justice, she poked her neck and said, "Are you so afraid? When he kicked his legs, the things in the room are all mine?"

Mr. Pei smiled and shook his head without saying a word.

The two of them got together to eat and drink, and played around for a while, only to feel that they are free and easy to get drunk when they have wine, and they are quite content.

It can be seen that Mr. is not up to date.

Before leaving, An Shen'er remembered an important matter, and she gritted her teeth with hatred: "My enemy came back to see his old lady, if he dared to hang around your place, I would reward him with a few rulers to vent his anger on me!"

A light flashed in Mr. Pei's eyes, then he nodded and fell silent.

Speaking of which, An Yuan's family is only a little rich, and An Shen'er is not a villainous and wealthy young master, so how could he have enemies?

It turned out that An Shen'er first met Mr. Pei that year, and after getting married, she ran into the school every day, thinking that Mr. Pei was teaching students to study in the front, so boring, so she stripped naked behind and didn't know what to do. It happened that , there was a slightly older wild boy named Han Er in the school, he saw it when he went out to pee, and he started shouting, which shocked the villagers to watch and make jokes. The county magistrate hated this kind of thing the most. two days.

The charges are: nudity, blasphemy of sage books.

Han Er worships Mr. Pei as his teacher, acts and behaves like Mr. Pei, and vows to be a gentleman like the one in the book.He wholeheartedly respects his husband, so why isn't he annoyed when he sees someone sneaking around in his room, immoral?Thinking that wealthy families will inevitably spoil their children and make them easy to mess with, he ran dozens of miles away to learn his skills from others, and became a small catcher in the yamen.

When he left, Mr. Pei wrote two words as a gift: "Yue Zong".

When he came back again, Han Yuezong was already a headhunter with a knife, and his two little brothers often followed him, showing awe-inspiring prestige.

The next day, Mr. Pei got up and looked at the birds singing happily under the eaves, and he was in a good mood. He went to the front school and saw that Han Yuezong had been waiting for a long time.

"Sir!" It's rare to go back home for a year and a half, and the gentleman I respect from the bottom of my heart must come to pay a visit.

Seeing him, Mr. Pei smiled even wider.

"Yue Zong is here, sit at home."

"Hey!"

Han Yuezong followed to Mr. Houtou's room to drink tea. The bowl of poor tea was made with water from the stream in the bamboo forest. It tasted delicious.

Over the years, my husband has become more and more desolate, but there are a few sage books copied by myself on the bookshelf, and the other four walls are empty, and there is nothing else.

Seeing this, Han Yuezong couldn't bear it, his eyes were red, he clutched the hem of his clothes and said in a low voice: "Mr. has suffered."

Mr. Pei might as well be like this, and laughed instead: "You have seen some things in the world in the past few years. Those who are rich may not be unkind, and those who suffer may not be innocent. Why haven't you understood this truth?"

"However, the master teaches for free, causing his family to be invaded by the books on the four walls. Yue Zong really can't bear it..."

Seeing that he looked cute with his head down, Mr. Pei felt a little itchy, so he forgot to answer.

This Han Yuezong didn't know why, so he continued: "I also heard about what happened a few days ago. If that bastard surnamed An dares to bully Mr., I will sue the county magistrate and take him!"

His salary as a headhunter was not much, half of it was given to my mother, and the other half was planned to be kept to marry a wife, but then he thought about paying back the rent money for Mr. Pei.

"Yue Zong, how can I feel sorry for you!" Mr. Pei sighed.

After talking for a while, Han Butou went back to town because he was busy with official duties.

Not long after, something big happened.

The culprit was An Shen'er, who was used to eating this dish, so he couldn't help wanting to try something from another pot. At night, he went to the pretty widow in the next village and knocked on the door. When the two met each other, they rolled over on the bed up.

The pretty widow had been with him for a few days and wanted to make some money, but An Shen'er believed that Mr. Pei was her best friend, and she would not spend money if she came first and then came later.The pretty widow got annoyed, and told everyone she met that he had a big hole in the back and asked someone to do it. That person seemed to be a shameless teacher.

At that time, the harvest was not good, and the farmers felt angry and had nowhere to vent their anger. They were very angry when they heard about this incident, thinking how could An Shener get naked behind the school, so he was waiting for a man with a human face and a cruel heart!

Yuan Wai was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, hung An Shen'er and beat him half to death, and sent people to the front of the bamboo forest to pick out ugly words to scold him.

After being noisy for a few days, the children who attended the class didn't learn "Zhihuzhe", but learned a few ugly words.

Mr. Pei blushed with embarrassment, packed his bags and headed towards the town to avoid the limelight before dawn.

It was cool in autumn, and there were desolate and desolate scenes everywhere along the way, with bare branches and no green patches.Thinking that he finally had a place to stay and disappeared, Mr. Pei smiled wryly in his heart, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

He originally planned to seek refuge with a few friends in the town, and find a job as a teacher to earn some living expenses. After wandering around the downtown market for a couple of times, he boarded a promising ferry boat with his luggage in his arms, and headed for the other side of the river. go.

There were also a few businessmen on board, who chatted with each other and didn't hit it off, so Mr. Pei glanced into the cabin, and when he took a look, there was a person inside who shrank his head to hide, but he didn't hide, and saw a person.

After a while, Catcher Han squeezed out slowly and shouted: "Sir."

At first, Mr. Pei thought that he didn't know his business, so he exchanged some polite greetings, but when he saw that the other party's face was unkind, and nine out of ten sentences were absent-minded, his heart sank.

As the boat approached, Mr. Pei staggered ashore, raised his hand and shouted goodbye.

Han Butou hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where are you going, sir?"

Mr. Pei thought to himself, I went to join my friend, but he said: "There is a ruined temple in front, which can still keep out the wind and rain."

Han Yuezong's nose was almost crooked, and his face turned blue and white as if he was struggling. After a long time, Fang sullenly said, "If you don't mind, Mr. Yuezong can do it, it's better than the ruined temple."

As if he was afraid that the other party would have a hard time, he changed his sincere expression and sighed, "It happens that Yue Zong also has something to ask sir."

Mr. Pei didn't want to rely on others to watch people's faces, but the other party was very sincere, nodded, and followed with his bag.

The yard is not big, but it is tidy and tidy, and there are two pots of holly.

The grandfather of the yamen has always liked Han Yuezong's hard work and steadfastness, so he specially asked someone to buy a few pieces of furniture for him to use, making him look like a decent and well-to-do family. .

Han Yuezong gave up his room to his husband, and he lived in a hut next to the kitchen. He went home to cook three meals a day on time, and occasionally brought back a jug of wine at night to chat with his husband.

Mr. Pei thought to himself, this is a gentleman before a villain, and the storm is behind.

Sure enough, a few days later coincided with the winter solstice, hot dumplings and old wine were served in the hall, the two of them were a little full, and through the drunkenness, Han Yuezong said, "Sir, knowing your mistakes can make you better, is this correct? "

Mr. Pei smiled bitterly: "These words are not bad."

Han Yuezong nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly wanted to recommend him to teach in the family of Zhang Dahu in the town. The two children of Zhang's family didn't have a lot of schoolwork, but their salary was good.

What he didn't know was that Zhang Dahu happened to be a friend who had several friendships with Mr. Pei. When Mr. Pei arrived the next day, Zhang Dahu was very happy. It's good to take care of my own house.

Mr. Pei said it was inconvenient and he had another place to live.

After receiving the money in the first month, he hurriedly went to the second-hand book stand to buy a few books and came back to read them, and added a new piece of clothes for Han Yuezong, feeling happy and at ease in his heart.

He vaguely felt that this was life.
