Chapter 97 story six

Two young people stayed overnight in a small inn. In the middle of the night, one young man went to sleep with the owner's daughter, but the housewife mistakenly took the other young man as her husband. When something happened, fortunately the housewife was clever and clever, and with a single word, the humiliation of the mother and daughter was covered up. Caladrin's story had made everyone laugh several times, and now it made them laugh again.The ladies were obliged to say something about this wonderful man, so the queen bade Panfilo go on; and he said: Ladies and gentlemen, Caladrin has taken a fancy to a woman named Nicolosa, which reminds me of another Nicolosa, and now I will tell you her story, so that you may know, How can a good wife be quick and witty, and gently cover up a scandal.

Not long ago, on the plain of Munona, there lived an honest man who lived in a very bad condition, in a small house; he barely survived by making tea and preparing meals for the travelers who came and went.Occasionally, when I meet an acquaintance, it is already late and there is no time to go on the road, and I will take him in for a night. If the person who comes to the door is a stranger, I will not take this convenience.He had a wife, who was very pretty, and had two children, the elder of fifteen or sixteen years old, named Nicolosa, a handsome, strong, unmarried girl, and the younger one under a year old. Years old, still breastfeeding.

A handsome young man in our town, named Pinuccio, who used to pass this part of the country, saw the girl, and fell in love with her; and the girl was very proud of being admired by such a respectable gentleman, So she scratched her head and posed in front of him, intending to win over him.Later, when the fakes became real, I couldn't help falling in love with him.This pair of men and women are consensual, if it wasn't for the young man who was afraid that his lover would be hurt and his own reputation would be damaged, they would have already accomplished their good deeds. But he thought about it day and night, and his enthusiasm became more and more intense, and he could no longer suppress the desire to have an affair with Nicolosa, and tried to find an excuse to spend the night at her father's house, because he knew that her house had only one room. After the whole family is asleep, it is not difficult to find her secretly and sleep with her.He made up his mind to do it right away.

He took a confidant named Adriano who knew he was in love, hired two horses, put two bags on each horse's back, stuffed with straw; the two rode together from Florence, After making a wide circle, when we reached the plain of Munona, it was getting late, so we turned our horses and returned from Romana, and ran to the honest man's little house, and knocked at his door.The honest man knew them, and opened the door at once.Pinuccio said to him: "Today I have to disturb you all night at your house. We wanted to rush back to Florence that day, but we didn't want to rush all the way. It was dark when we arrived here."

"Pinuccio," replied the master, "you know how difficult it is for me to stay with such nobles as you; but it is getting late, and you can't go anywhere, so I have to find a way to invite two of you." The position will be overnight." The two youths dismounted from their horses, fastened their mounts, and entered the little inn; they had their food with them, which they now brought out, and asked their hosts to share it with them for supper. The honest man had only one small bedroom, in which he had arranged three berths with painstaking care.Two were leaning against one wall, and the other was placed on the opposite side, leaving only a narrow passage between them, and no more room to turn around.The master gave the two youths the most decent bed that leaned against the wall alone.After a while, they pretended to be asleep, so the master asked his daughter to sleep on the opposite bed, and then he and his wife slept on the third bed, with the baby's cradle beside the bed.

Pinuccio took a secret look at the girl's and the master's bunk, and slept for a long time. Guessing that the whole family was already fast asleep, he gently climbed out of bed, touched his lover's bed, and lay down beside her.She was both happy and afraid in her heart, and at the mercy of him, the long-standing wish of the two of them was fulfilled in one night. Pinuccio was making love with his lover, when a cat tripped over something and woke up the housewife with a loud snap. Fearing that something might happen, she got out of bed and groped secretly to check where the noise came from.

At this time, Adriano also got up by chance, not because he heard the noise; but because he felt a little nervous at the moment and wanted to go out and find a place to relax.Not wanting to take a few steps, he was blocked by the cradle placed there by the housewife, so he had to lift the cradle and move it to his bed; bed, continue to sleep.The housewife groped for a while, and found that something had fallen, so she didn't bother to light the fire to have a look, cursing the plague cat, and went back to her room to sleep.She went all the way to the bed where her husband was sleeping, felt that there was no cradle beside the bed, and said to herself: "My God! I almost made a joke: I can't believe it, I almost crawled." In the guest's bed."

After going a few steps, she found the cradle, climbed into bed, and slept beside Adriano, whom she considered her husband.Adriano was still asleep at this time, and he was very happy. He hugged her and made out with her in every possible way, and the woman was very happy. By this time Pinuccio had had enough of playing with his girl, and, fearing that he might be too sleepy, he left her and went to sleep in his own bed.He touched the cradle and realized that the bed next to it was the master's bed, then he groped a few steps forward and climbed onto the bed of the master.He didn't care that the master was woken up by him, and he still slept with Adriano, saying to him:

"I'll tell you, there's no cuter chick in the world than Nicolasa. Damn, no man has ever enjoyed my night--after I left you, in the There are six in and six out of the city." When the master heard these words, he couldn't help being a little unhappy, thinking to himself: "What the hell is this bastard doing?" At last he became confused and shouted without thinking: "Pinuccio, you don't know how to praise, you have done such a shameless thing, damn it, I must make you suffer!" Who knows that Pinuccio is not the most sensible young man, knowing that he has made a big mistake, but he doesn't want to make up for it, and insists on saying stiffly: "What are you going to do to me? How dare you do anything to me?"

The housewife only knew that she was sleeping with her husband and said to Adriano: "Oh, listen, our two guests are arguing with each other!" Adriano smiled and said, "Let them go, it's bad luck for them, who told them to drink so much last night!" When the housewife listened carefully, she already felt that her husband was yelling, and she recognized Adriano's accent, and immediately understood whose bed she was sleeping on, and whose side she was leaning against.She really deserved to be a smart and sensible woman, she got up immediately without saying a word, took the cradle, groped to her daughter's bed in the dark, climbed up, and slept with her daughter.So she just pretended to be woken up by her husband, called him, and asked him what was going on with Pinuccio.

"Didn't you hear him say what he did with Nicolosa tonight?" asked the husband. "Oh," she exclaimed, "this is a dream! When did he come to sleep in Nicolosa's bed? I slept with her all night, and I never closed my eyes for a while. How could you Believe him, what an ass. You men drink endlessly at night, and when you sleep in bed, you spend the night dreaming wildly, rolling around in bed, and claiming that you are doing something earth-shattering. You guys You're lucky if you don't break your neck. But what's Pinuccio doing in your bed? Why doesn't he sleep in his own?" Adriano, who was listening to him clearly, thought that the housewife was very clever in covering up the embarrassment of herself and her daughter in one sentence; so the tendency echoed: "Pinuccio, I have told you more than a hundred times not to spend the night outside; that you would get up and walk when you were fast asleep, and talk about visions in wild dreams, as if it were true. Seems like. Your strange disease will bring you trouble sooner or later. If you don’t come back, you deserve this night!” Telling both the mistress and Adriano, the master really thought that Pinuccio was dreaming, took him by the shoulders, shook him vigorously, and cried out: "Pinuccio wake up! Go back to your own bed and sleep." When Pinuccio heard what they said, he knew what they were saying, and he babbled like he was dreaming.The master grinned unconsciously, laughed loudly, and shook him a few more times.Then Pinuccio pretended to wake up, and called Adriano: "Is it dawn now? Are you calling me?" "Yes," Adriano replied, "come here." Pretending to be sleepy, Pinnu got up from his master's bed and went back to Adriano.At dawn, after everyone got up, the master made fun of him with his sleep talk.In this way, you tell a joke, and I tell a joke, until the two young men have prepared the saddle and packed the bag, and then they will stop.After toasting their masters, they mounted their horses and rode straight towards Florence.Both of them have gained a lot, and they are so smooth, so the more they think about it, the more proud they are. From then on, Pinuccio looked for another chance to meet Nicolosa, and the girl swore to her mother that Pinuccio was talking in her sleep; , it turned out that she was the only one who was sober at the time.
