Chapter 140 Qingmei 2

Two days later, a matchmaker came to propose marriage for Zhang Sheng. Wang Jinshi smiled and said, "The poor scholar and the little maid are just a good match, but the gift money is too little. If you marry Qingmei into a rich family, the gold and silver will be doubled." Axi hurriedly advised, "Qingmei has served me for a long time and sold me as a concubine. I can't bear it." Wang Jinshi nodded and said to the matchmaker, "For my daughter's face, I suffered a loss. I sold the green plum to the Zhang family at the original price, prepare the money, and you can come and pick it up at any time."

After Qingmei passed the door, she was filial to her parents-in-law, flattered, worked hard on housework, and had a simple meal. She didn't think it was bitter and was deeply loved by her family. She is also good at embroidery. She has good thorns and sells quickly. Buyers are gathered and the supply exceeds the demand. In this way, she subsidizes the family and improves her life. Qingmei often advised Zhang Sheng to make progress and said, "I will take care of the housework. My father-in-law, you just study hard and get a reputation in the future, and I will also take advantage of it."

On the day Wang Jinshi took office, Qingmei went to see him off. A Xi saw him and choked and said, "I'm not as good as you." Qingmei said, "This is all thanks to Miss Bai, and I dare not forget it. Don't say that the maidservant is not as good as the master. I can't stand it, and I will lose my life. The two parted with tears.

Wang Jinshi came to Shanxi. Half a year later, his wife died and the coffin stopped in the temple. In another two years, Wang Jinshi was dismissed for accepting bribes and fined tens of thousands of yuan. His family was poor and could not be self-sufficient, and his followers fled. At that time, the plague was rampant, and Wang fell ill and died. An old servant was left to take care of Ah Xi. Not a few, the maid also died. A Xi was alone, and the neighbor's woman advised her to get married. A Xi said, "Whoever can bury my parents for me will marry him." When the woman heard the words, she felt pity and respect for her, and gave her a bucket of rice. Half a month back, he said, "I'm trying my best to run for my wife, and things are difficult to do; the poor are unable to bury her, and the rich dislike your family's way downfalls and don't want to marry your wife. What can you do?" There is still a strategy, but I'm afraid that the wife can't follow it.

Ah Xi asked, "What's the plan?" The woman said, "Li Lang, in the county, wants to find a side room. If you see the woman's face, you must be happy. As long as the wife nods and agrees, it's not a problem to bury her parents." A Xi cried and said, "My lady, it's really difficult for me to be a concubine now." The woman was speechless and went away with a sigh. Axi eats a meal every day, breathes for a long time, and waits for the price. After half a year, life became more and more difficult.

One day, when the woman arrived, A Xi cried, "I'm so sleepy that I want to take my own life. Those who are still in love and live, because my parents' coffin is still there. If I die, who will restrain the bones for my parents? After thinking about it, my sister's words in the past are not unreasonable. Just do as you say. The woman was overjoyed and guided Mr. Li to come. The man and woman met. Mr. Li was very satisfied and happy. He immediately paid for the aftertook, took A Xi home and visited the main room. The first wife was fierce and jealous. At first sight, she was so angry that she was driven out and was not allowed to enter.

A Xi's hair is snotty, and there is no place to advance or retreat. There is Lao Ni, and he is invited to live with him. Women's happiness, from that. In the middle of the house, he begged for shaving, but Lao Ni refused and said, "I look at my wife, and I am not a person who has been lying in the wind and dust for a long time. The pottery grain in the nunnery is stored one by one. Although it is coarse rice and miscellaneous grain, it is enough to feed oneself. And rest here. When the time comes, you can stay at your own.

Not long after living, the scoundrel in the city saw Axi beautiful and often knocked on the door to harass him. Lao Ni couldn't stop it. A Xi cried and was about to die. Lao Ni sued the government, and the official ordered that it was strictly forbidden for men to disturb the family's cultivation, and the scoundrels restrained their evil deeds a little. Later, someone took advantage of the darkness to dig a hole under the wall of the temple. Fortunately, Lao Ni found out and shouted before he was willing to leave. Lao Ni complained again, and the government seized the evil and beat him to death. After that, he gradually calmed down.

A year later, a noble son passed by Zi'an. Seeing A Xi's face, he was shocked. He bribed Lao Ni with a lot of money, asked her to interde, and set up the marriage. Lao Ni said gently, "She was originally the daughter of a rich family. How can she be willing to be a concubine for the prince? You go back first and get back to you in a while. When the prince left, A Xi begged for death angrily. Ye Meng's father came and said sadly, "Son, I didn't allow you to marry Zhang Sheng before. It's too late to regret that you have fallen here. Listen to my father's advice, don't look for death. Wait a few days, and your long-cherished wish can still be realized. A Xi was secretly surprised and washed in the morning. Lao Ni went into the room to meet and said, "Look at the girl's face. The turbidity has disappeared. The blessing is coming. There is no worry. You will be rich in the future. Don't forget your old body."

Before I finished my words, I heard the sound of knocking on the door. A Xi changed his color and said, "It must be your slave." Lao Ni opened the door to check, and it was as expected. The slave said, "The young master ordered me to ask: How's that going?" Lao Ni said calmly, "I'll come back in three days. I'll give you a letter." The slave said, "Okay, I'll give you three days." Remember: If it doesn't work out, you can explain it to the young master in person. Old Nino agreed and sent him away. A Xi was very sad and wanted to suicide. Lao Ni quickly stopped him. A Xi said, "What should you do if you come back in three days?" Lao Ni said, "I have everything. If you want to kill, you have to bear it."

In the afternoon of the next day, it rained heavily, and suddenly heard several people knocking on the door and shouting. A Xi thought it had changed again, and he was scared and didn't know what to do. Lao Ni opened the door in the rain, and there was a soft sedan chair outside the door. Several maidservants came out with a beautiful woman; the servants surrounded and the momentum was strong. Lao Ni asked in surprise, "Who is coming?" The servant said, "This is the Lord's wife, take shelter from the wind and rain for the time being." Old Nihe saluted, introduced the beauty into the hall, moved the couch and asked to sit down. The family maid ran to the Zen room and looked for a place to rest. When she entered the room, she met A Xi. Seeing her beautiful appearance, she rushed to report to her wife. Nothing, the heavy rain was more urgent. The lady got up and begged, "Is it convenient for the little woman to go to the Zen house?" Lao Ni led the way and entered the house. At first sight, he was surprised and happy. Axi has been looking forward to it for a long time. It turned out that my wife was Qingmei.

When the old man met, they cried bitterly. Qingmei talked about the farewell experience: since his father-in-law died of illness, Zhang Sheng's filial piety expired, returned as an official, his career was smooth, and he was promoted repeatedly. At present, he has been awarded the position of secretary. Zhang Sheng and his mother took office first, and then moved to his family. On his own trip, he went to the guild. A Xi sighed, "When we meet today, the fate of you and me is very different." Qingmei smiled and said, "Fortunately, my wife has encountered setbacks. So far, there is no coincidence. This is God's desire to reunite my sisters. If it hadn't rained, why would this encounter happen? There is God's will in the dark, and the power of ghosts and gods is unpredictable. No one can know it.

While talking, he took out the bead hat and brocade clothes and urged A Xi to change clothes. A Xi bowed his head and hesitated. Lao Ni tried his best to persuade him. A Xi blushed and said, "If you live with your sister and wife, your name is not right and your words are not right." Qingmei advised, "The name has already been decided in the past. How dare the maidservant forget his sister's great virtue? Think about it, is Zhang Lang a righteous person? Forced to modify, the group said goodbye to Lao Ni and left.

At home, mother and son are happy. A Xi met the old lady and said, "I don't have the face to see my mother now." The old lady smiled and comforted. Then he discussed choosing an auspicious day and getting married for A Xi. Axi said, "There is a way to live in thean, and he refuses to follow his wife here. If it's good, give me a small room and a futon, and my wish is enough. Qingmei smiled and said nothing.

On the day of marriage, Qingmei came with bright makeup. Axi is in a dilemma and doesn't know what to do. After a while, the drum music was great, and it became more and more difficult for A Xi to advocate. Qingmei led several maidservants to forcibly change her into a wedding dress and helped her out. In the hall, Zhang Sheng bowed to the court. A Xi couldn't do it, so he had to follow Yingying to worship. Qingmei sent the two of them into the bridal chamber and said, "I've been waiting for my sister for a long time." He also looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "I can repay my kindness tonight, so that I can do it myself." I want to go back. A Xi grabbed the corner of her skirt and said with a smile, "Don't leave me. I can't replace the bridal chamber." Gently break free from your fingers and go straight away.

After marriage, Qingmei served Axi carefully and never offended her. A Xi is always ashamed and can't feel at ease. Zhang's mother smiled and said, "Don't be polite to each other. You are both ladies, and your status is average." Qingmei smiled at it and still served Axi with the courtesy of a slave maidservant, and did not dare to slack off.

Three years later, Zhang Sheng moved to Beijing, passed by Ni'an, and celebrated his birthday with 500 gold. Lao Ni didn't accept it. Zhang Sheng repeatedly urged him to accept two hundred gold, set up the Dashi Temple, and built a monument to Mrs. Wang. Later, Zhang Sheng became a servant. Qingmei gave birth to two sons and one daughter, and A Xi gave birth to four sons and one daughter. Zhang Sheng wrote a letter of Chen Qing, and the imperial edict was rewarded, and the two daughters were both wives.
