Yin Xin led them outside the gate, there were two horses in total, both were saddled and stirrups ready, and each hand was leading one.Sijiu and Liang Shanbo came out, and when they saw two horses, they asked, "Sister Yinxin, what's the use of taking an extra horse?" Yin Xin said: "Mr. Liang is not feeling well. Don't be too late when you get home. Wouldn't it be great if you brought two horses and you, Mr. Liang, ride one and you ride the other, so as not to run after them." Liang Shanbo walked forward slowly, because he said: "I'm sorry for you. The two horses let go, and they will be home in the middle of the night."

Sijiu also stepped forward and made a bow: "Thank you very much, I will personally send the horses some other day." Seeing Mr. Liang's pale face, Yin Xin didn't dare to laugh, but just nodded. Sijiu then took the reins of a horse and asked Liang Shanbo to ride first, and then rode on himself. Yin Xin walked closer, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Liang is ill, please send a letter as soon as possible." Sijiu understood and nodded quickly.The two horses let go of their hooves and left Zhujia Village.On the way, Sijiu often asked: "Is your husband better?" Liang Shanbo didn't make a sound, just nodded.After resting twice on the road, Liang Shanbo didn't make a sound.Sijiu expected that Shanbo's illness was not cured, so he got home as soon as possible.Fortunately, it was the middle of the month, and there was a moon at night. The two of them rode on horseback, and it was ten or twenty miles away.Before midnight, Liang Shanbo arrived home.Sijiu called to open the door and lead Liang Shanbo in.Hearing that his son had come back at night, Liang Qiupu expected something urgent, so he put on his clothes and got up, followed by Liang Shanbo's bedroom.Look at his face, it's white and blue.Then he said, "Hey! I'm sick."

Liang Shanbo nodded and said: "Father, it's okay, I have caught a little bit of a cold, and I'll be fine if I get a good night's sleep tonight." Liang Qiupu stretched out his hands to caress for a while, only to feel his whole body burning, because he said: "Could it be that my son came back before arriving at Zhu's house." Liang Shanbo said: "I will come to Zhujiaxian brother. Because I changed into women's clothes, I changed my name to Xianmei. Xianmei treats me very well, and entertains me at the banquet." Liang Qiupu said, "What about marriage?"

Liang Shanbo returned home in a state of embarrassment, and his parents were very concerned about it. It's worth not mentioning the marriage.He said: "This is a long story, let's discuss it in detail tomorrow." Liang Qiupu sat on the edge of the bed, seeing that Shanbo was not very comfortable, and he was afraid of being entangled in this matter, so he said, "That's fine. I heard the sound of horses' hoofs, you came back with more than one horse." Liang Shanbo said: "Yes! Two horses, Sijiu also rode one, all borrowed by sister Zhu Xian." When Liang Qiupu heard about Zhu Yingtai's hospitality, there was no major reason for his hospitality.He asked Liang Shanbo what he wanted to eat, and Liang Shanbo shook his head.

After a while, the son's mother, Mrs. Gao, also came over in person. Seeing Liang Shanbo's pale face, she said, "Hey! The child is sick." Liang Shanbo shook his hand and said, "It's okay, it will be fine tomorrow." He forced a grin as he spoke. Sijiu entered the house and saw that the two elders were all here, Liang Shanbo was lying down with his clothes on, eyes closed and rested.He said: "You two old people, go back to your room to rest. The patients here can also recuperate. I think they will all be well tomorrow." The second elder looked at Liang Shanbo, he had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore.Liang Qiupu said to Gao: "Let's go, let him sleep." So the two elders walked out quietly.

Sijiu waited for them to leave, build a small bed and put it beside the bed to serve.When Liang Shanbo was sleeping, he had several dreams, all of which were sister Zhu Xian.When he woke up, he realized that he had dreamed.Liang Shanbo thought to himself, this matter should be made public, otherwise, parents still don't know what's going on.Because of this idea, I will explain it to my parents tomorrow.In this way, on the contrary, he was able to sleep without dreaming.But the next day, he was extremely depressed, and when he opened his eyes, he heard footsteps outside the window.I also thought of it, and took a look, who got up so early.But when I thought about it, I supported my body with both hands, but my body was only half up. I couldn't make up my mind, my two hands couldn't support it anymore, and when I let go of my hands, my body fell down again.He rubbed his head and said, "It's okay to go home on horseback, but it's even worse when I fall asleep and my mind becomes dizzy."

He turned on the bed, and there was a gurgling sound.Sijiu, who was making a bunk in front of the bed, was awakened with a start, turned over and got up, and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Xianggong." Liang Shanbo said: "I want to get up, but I can't get up anymore. Get up and boil some water for me to drink." Sijiu promised yes, tidy up the floor, and went to the kitchen to boil water.Lying on the bed, Liang Shanbo hummed for a long time, which woke up Liang Qiupu too. He hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, went into Liang Shanbo's room, looked at the bed, and asked, "My child, what do you think?"

Liang Shanbo said: "I'm afraid the illness has really come, and I can't get up anymore. It came so fast!" Liang Qiupu looked at him very carefully, and saw that he was sleeping on the pillow, his cheeks were thin, and his eyes were expressionless.The long clothes had been taken off, and he was wearing a white undershirt with one sleeve exposed outside the quilt.Yin said: "Then invite a doctor to come and have a look?" Liang Shanbo said: "Of course it can, but it won't help." Liang Qiupu said, "What's the point?" Liang Shanbo said: "I'll tell you when Mom gets up."

Liang Qiupu only had this son, and he loved him very much. Now that the son had said it, he told the family to invite a doctor, and at the same time urged Gao to get up. At this time, Sijiu had boiled the water, and came to the bed with a bowl of hot water.Liang Shanbo took two sips from Sijiu and shook his head.Sijiu knew it was unnecessary, so he put the bowl on the table.Just as the two elders came over again, two squares were placed in front of the bed, and the two elders were asked to sit down.Shan Bo half sat and half lay on the silk quilt, sighed himself and said, "One cannot blame Yingtai for this incident, and the other cannot blame her son, only the power oppresses others." Tell me about your marriage.Yin said: "I really have a right and a wrong. My parents raised their son in vain. They have not fulfilled their filial piety. They deserve ten thousand deaths. They have to try their best to repay in the next life."

Liang Qiupu said: "So that's the case, son, rest assured. As long as the son recovers from his illness, we will look for it again." Gao said: "Yes! My mother can search for my son carefully. My son is young, so don't say anything good or bad." Liang Shanbo was also afraid of causing grief to the elders, so he kept saying yes.But his illness has become more and more severe since this day.Although I invited a doctor to come and see, the decoction was like a stone sinking into the sea.If you eat it, it will have no effect at all.On the fifth day, Liang Qiupu saw that Shanbo's illness was becoming more and more serious, so he went to the bed and asked, "The Zhu family's horse should be returned to others. I want to ask Sijiu to run again. What else is there?" Words, to tell Yingtai."

He was sleeping on the bed, whether he wanted to sleep or not. After listening to his father's words, he opened his eyes with a smile on his face.Yin said: "I'm just thinking about this. Daddy's words are just what I want. I have to get up and write a letter to her." Liang Qiupu frowned and said, "My son is seriously ill, so I don't care if I don't write. If you have anything to tell Sijiu, ask him to pass it on." Liang Shanbo was struggling with the silk quilt behind his hands.Yin said: "It doesn't matter, this letter is to be written." Sijiu was walking into the house, seeing that the old man wanted to write a letter, the old man was in a daze, but he couldn't stop him, so he had to move a kang table, put it on the quilt first, and used it as a table.Along with the paper, pen, ink and inkstone, put them on the table together.Liang Shanbo leaned on the table and wrote on a piece of paper about a foot wide: Brother Shanbo wrote a letter to Yingtai Rumei, meeting in the knowing building, and comforted his life.For three years, I have been close friends with each other, my unknown sister is a husband of a woman, and my brother is really a fool.As for the open-minded discussion, I realized that each person has one day, and the court did not forgive him. He has been hired by the Ma family.Although my sister speaks eloquently, Gu Ji weeps and weeps.Brother also bowed his head and could not speak, coughing up blood in grief.My brother didn't dare to stay because of the sudden onset of the disease. How sad our situation is.Go home and lie down for four nights, dreaming about it all day long. Although the medicine is given at the right time, it is like a stone thrown into water, and it is secretly prepared for the brother's selfishness. I am afraid that it will last forever! Come here and ask for your order. If you can open the letter for instructions and have your own secret potion, then the person who is close to death will be healed immediately.There is no such kindness in the treasure of ten o'clock.Listening to the wind, there are many meanings.Shanbo bowed his hand. Liang Shanbo read the letter from the beginning to the end by himself, because he said: "The letter has been written. I don't know whether it has been completed or not, but I can't write it anymore." A piece of cardboard, rolled up the letter (note: there were no envelopes at that time, so the letter was rolled up like a book). Sijiu expected that he would not use pen and ink, so he packed up the stationery and put them away. Liang Qiupu said: "Can I hand in this letter casually? I just read it in front of the bed. If this letter is known to the old man, Zhu Gongyuan, I'm afraid there will be a lot of right and wrong." Sijiu said: "It doesn't matter, I will secretly hand it over to Miss Zhu." Liang Qiupu saw that as soon as he heard that he had written to Zhu Yingtai, Liang Shanbo got up, expecting that there would be a kind of unspeakable affection between the two of them. He stood by the bedside, nodded his head and said, "Okay." , according to Sijiu's words. If you really bring back the miraculous prescription, our family will never forget you." At this time, Mrs. Gao also came in. Seeing that her son was able to write letters, she also stood beside him, just smiling and nodding. Liang Shanbo handed the letter to Sijiu, but Sijiu was afraid of losing it, so he put it in the back of his clothes and fastened the eyes of the clothes tightly. Liang Qiupu took Sijiu's sleeve and said: "You also rode there. Give the letter to Zhu Yingtai. After she reads the letter, she must have a letter for you. You still put it in it, or tomorrow morning, you can came back." Sijiu said: "Don't worry. I will definitely bring back the prescription." Liang Qiupu sent Sijiu to the door, and gave some instructions.Sijiu led two horses, rode another horse, and went straight to Zhujia Village.When he arrived at the gate, he already knew the gatekeeper, and said to the gatekeeper: "The other day Mr. Liang Shanbo came home, and he received the kindness of Miss Yinxin here. He took two horses to ride, and now the horses are returned to the house." As he spoke, three horses were chewing the grass on the roadside outside the gate. The gatekeeper looked at the horse, and said, "You must have something to say, tell our lady?" Sijiu stood silently. The old man said: "The old man is away from home. You are here. If you let him know, there will be a lot of trouble. I won't inform him now. I will directly report to Miss Ming. After a while, Sister Yinxin will come out, and you will go in with Sister Yinxin. You Leave the horse to me, feed it well, wait for you to come out, and give the horse to you, do you think it is okay?" When Sijiu heard about it, he hurriedly bowed, because he said: "Thank you, thank you, the old man is so kind." The old man told four or nine to wait, and went to the backyard of the upper house to report by himself.For a while, the silver heart is in front and the old man is behind.Yin Xin beckoned from afar and said, "Brother Sijiu, you are here. How is Master Liang?" Sijiu said: "Master Liang fell ill, and he seems to be better now." Yin Xin said: "Miss is waiting for your reply in the Huixin Building." Sijiu bid farewell to the old man, came to the Huixin Building, Yin Xin led the way, and when he reached the upstairs, Zhu Yingtai stood up to help the case, before he had time to ask anything else, he said straight away: "Mr. Liang's illness, is it better? " Sijiu went forward to salute, and replied: "I fell asleep when I got home. The old man invited the doctor to look at him, and he took medicine every day. Not only did it not improve, but it made it worse. Today, the old man ordered the horse to be sent back to the mansion, and asked Liang Xianggong for a message. Did you bring it to the lady? As soon as Mr. Liang heard this, his spirits came, and he immediately agreed, got up, sat on the bed, and wrote this letter." Zhu Yingtai said, "Oh! I wrote a letter." Sijiu unbuttoned his clothes, took out the letter with both hands and presented it.Seeing that the letter was written by Liang Shanbo, Zhu Yingtai opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read it from the beginning to the end. She didn't say a word, and the tears in her eyes rolled down like water under the eaves. Sijiu stood in front of him without daring to make a sound.Yin Xin also leaned on the bookshelf to stand still. Zhu Yingtai looked up, only then did she realize that she was standing in front of her.He said to Yin Xin: "You take Sijiu downstairs for dinner, after the meal, I will ask Sijiu to come and pick up the letter." When Yin Xin heard about it, she took Sijiu downstairs.Zhu Yingtai was upstairs alone, and read the letter again, only Wang Kong sighed.Take out the pen and paper, and reply at the desk. The younger sister, Zhu Yingtai, bowed her head to Fu Shanboru's brother: read the letter, and shed tears with the sentence.Seeing the meaning of the king, my sister can only run away with her brother. If it comes to fruition, why not do it.At the beginning of the beach, followed by the foothills, swimming with fish and dragons, and swimming with deer and hogs.However, the two sons of Liang and Zhu were arrested at the last step out of Zhucun, and Qi Xingbu was arrested.What is the reason for this? Now that my brother is seriously ill, I am only good at taking pictures of myself. I will see you later with pictures, and if I live forever, I will make another good picture.As for Yingtai's vow not to marry now, even though the pot is in front of her, she is as happy as she is.In case you will be unlucky, the journey is not far away, you will wait for me in Huangquan, my sister said, no two, ghosts and gods will learn from it.The sun will set, and the mail will arrive.After reading the card, the square inch was messed up, and I hurriedly returned it, and I didn't feel that the silk was soaked.Fuwei's sickness is recovering day by day, and he is precious.Sister Yingtai frowned. After Zhu Yingtai finished writing the letter, she took a piece of hard paper and wrote that brother Liang Shanbo opened it.Roll up the letter.At this time, it was time to turn on the lamp, and Yin Xin went upstairs to light the lamp.Zhu Yingtai said: "You bring Sijiu here, I have something to say to him." Yin Xin looked at the table and saw that the letter had been written, so she went downstairs quietly, and brought Sijiu upstairs after a while. Zhu Yingtai pointed to the table and said: "My reply letter has already been written. You go home and tell your husband-in-law. Miss Zhu hopes that he will take care of him and he will recover from his illness. I will meet you again. If..." Say the words Not going down, sitting on a chair, not saying anything for a long time.Putting his hand on the edge of the table, his upper body seemed to be uncontrollably cold, trembling slightly, tears streaming down one by one, and after a long while, he wiped his sleeves.Sijiu didn't dare to speak, and only looked at the table. Yin Xin approached the table, and said softly to Yingtai: "Now Yuanwai has returned to the house, talking loudly, afraid that people outside the building will hear. If you have anything to say, tell Brother Sijiu quickly, so that he can leave easily." Zhu Yingtai said: "I don't have anything to say. All the important things are in the letter." As he spoke, he took the letter and handed it to Sijiu. Sijiu still unbuttoned his clothes, and put the letter into his jacket pocket.Asked: "Is there anything Zhu Xianggong has to say? I have to go." Zhu Yingtai said: "You rest for a while before you go. You run around day and night, don't make you sick too." Seeing that Yingtai had nothing to say, Sijiu saluted and left.Yin Xin was afraid that he would go the wrong way, so she still sent it out.Seeing that there was no one around, Sijiu said softly: "If my husband is not well, I wish you... No, what will Miss do in the future?" Yin Xin said: "Miss' temper, I know, it's hard to say that." Sijiu said: "Miss has her own way, I know it too. How about us?" Yin Xin giggled, but didn't make a sound. Sijiu said: "I am telling the truth." Yin Xin said: "Our young lady has something on her mind, so where is the time to talk about it?" Sijiu said: "When you have time to talk, I'm afraid it's not up to you to decide." Yin Xin said: "Can I be the master now?" After hearing this, Sijiu sighed. At this time, when they arrived at the gatekeeper's room, the old man tried his best to show that he wanted to keep the guests, and all the food and wine were ready. Sijiu said: "Sister Yinxin, go in, lest Miss call you." Yin Xin nodded, took a look at Sijiu, then bowed her head and left. Sijiu lent him a bed and slept for three or four hours, only to wake up when the old man called him.At this time, the horse was ready and tied to the post outside the door.Hot water was also filled to the brim in the empty bowl.Excuse me.After drinking hot water, took the whip, untied the horse tie, said goodbye, got on the horse and ran back the same way.Waiting to reach the door of the house, it was only half noon.After getting off the horse and tied it to a tree, he ran straight to Liang Shanbo's room.As soon as he walked to the courtyard, Liang Qiupu greeted him. Liang Qiupu asked, "Did Zhu Yingtai send a letter back?" As soon as Sijiu agreed, he took out the letter from his bosom.Liang Qiupu took the letter, opened the letter roll, took out the letter paper, and read it under the patio.Sighing: "The child is a good boy, but my son Shanbo..." From the window, Liang Shanbo said: "Father, who are you talking to? Did Sijiu come back?" Sijiu responded immediately: "Yes! I hope the second minister will reply with a letter." Liang Qiupu rolled up the letter, still wrapped it up, and carried it into Liang Shanbo's bedroom in Sijiu.He was lying on the bed, covered gently with half a stack of silk quilts.He stretched out a hand and stroked it a few times, but only one word came out of his mouth, "letter".Sijiu hurriedly delivered the letter.Liang Shanbo took out his other hand, opened the letter with both hands, held the letter paper in one hand, and read on the half stack of silk quilts.After reading it in one breath, I had to sigh and say: "Heaven really did it, why not!"
