The servants brought the food, the guests and the host had breakfast together, and when Erpi got up to go out for convenience, his wife sneaked into the living room and said bluntly to Merun Shamai: "I'm not satisfied if you stay here for a day. In fact, staying for a month or a year is not enough for me. Unless we can stay together for a lifetime and become a partner. Of course, the matter is not easy. Just bear with me and wait for me to figure it out." A method that no one will be vigilant about. Let my husband be fooled and make him suspicious of me. He will divorce me in a fit of anger, and you and I can stay together and stay away from here to be a loving couple. In addition, I also Take all his money and belongings away, and let others have nothing. But the implementation of this plan, you must completely obey my arrangement."

"I understand, everything is up to you." Merun Shamai agreed with her plan. "You go back first. If my husband invites you to the hotel again, you say to him: 'People are far away and near smelly. If there are too many contacts, generous people and stingy people will be equally offensive. How can I Why don't you bother the family often and let you sleep in the living room with me every day? Even if you don't care, your wife will be annoyed by it. If you are sincere and sincere, you might as well block a house next door to your house , Let me live in and become neighbors with you, then you can come to my house to talk late at night, and I can also go to your house to talk late at night.' This is the most thoughtful plan. As long as you propose this, he has to discuss it with me. I'll tell him to fire the neighbor, because we're renting out that house. When you move in next door, we'll have a better deal. Go! Do as I tell you."

"Okay, just listen to you." When Erbi came back from convenience, Merun Shamai said goodbye to him, went straight to the midwife's house, described the incident and the arrangement of the little lady in detail, and finally asked: "Do you have a better way, let me Can I approach her openly?" "Son, I'm really at the end of my rope." Merun Shamai returned to the hotel after parting with the midwife. The next evening, Erpi went to the hotel to invite him to dinner, but he resolutely refused, saying, "Sorry, I can't go to your house." "Why? I admire you very much and like to associate with you. For the sake of Allah, you can go with me."

"If you want to communicate with me often and maintain this close friendship for a long time, it is best to rent a house for me next door to your house and let me move there. If you want to chat with me in the future, you can come to my house , I will accompany you at any time. Of course, I can also go to your house to discuss with you until late at night, and then go home and sleep. " "The house next door to me is my property. Tonight you go with me tonight, and tomorrow I will vacate that house and let you move in." He said and took Merun Shamai home. . After supper and church, they drank the two glasses of wine that his wife had sent by the maid, the one that Erpi drank was drugged, and he slept like a dead man; Very sober.Taking advantage of her husband's sound sleep, the little lady came out to have a tryst with him.The two fell in love and had fun with each other until dawn.

Early the next morning, Erpi woke up from his dream, found the tenant next door, and excused that he needed a house, dismissed the tenant, vacated the house, and let Merun Shamai move in.That night, he went back to sleep after having a heart-to-heart talk with Merun Shamai late at night. After Merun Shamai moved in, the landlady found a shrewd construction craftsman, gave him a lot of money, and ordered the craftsman to dig a tunnel from her house, leading directly to Merun Shamai's house, and lay the floor.In this way, it is very convenient for them to come and go without anyone noticing.After the tunnel was dug, she got out of the tunnel, holding two bags of money, and suddenly appeared in front of Merun Shamai.

"Where are you from?" Myron Shamai asked in amazement. She showed Merun Shamai the tunnel and said, "You can take his two bags of money." So she sat down and had fun with Merun Shamai frivolously, and didn't get up until dawn the next day. She said: "Wait a minute, I'll go back and wake him up. Send him away, and I'll come back to accompany you again." The little lady returned to her home, woke up her husband, waited for him to get up and washed, and prayed with him before sending him away.She brought four bags of coins and came to Merun Shamai's house from the tunnel, and handed the money to him for collection. Then the two sat and chatted and had fun, each having their own fun, and then they parted and left.

In the evening, when Merun Shamai returned from the city, he saw ten bags of gold, silver, jewelry and other belongings in the house. He had just packed up when Erbi arrived suddenly and invited him to his home for a drink and a chat.The maid served the food and drink as usual.Erpi drank alcohol and fell to the ground as usual, but Merun Shamai had no problems at all and was very sober.At this time, the little lady appeared in front of him gracefully, had a heart-to-heart talk with him, and ordered the maid to transport the gold and silver property from the tunnel to Merun Shamai's house, while she continued to chat and laugh with Merun Shamai.The maids were busy, moving things to and fro all night.At dawn, the young lady asked the maid to wake up the master, and the host and guest had coffee and parted ways.

On the third day, the little lady gave Merun Shamai a dagger that her husband spent 500 gold coins on, which was exquisitely crafted and had been treasured for many years. She was reluctant to sell it and said to him: "You hang this short sword around your waist, and then deliberately walk in front of my husband, pull it out in front of him, show him, tell him you bought it today, and ask him if it is rare. Of course he knows the goods, but he Sorry to say it's yours. If she asks how much you paid for it and where you bought it, just say you met two sword fighters and one of them said to his partner, 'I should I have an appointment with my mistress, and every time we meet, she will give me a silver coin. Today, because she is short of money, she simply gave me her husband's dagger, and I want to sell it for a good price.'You say you I liked the short sword very much. After hearing this, I asked him: "Can you sell it to me?" He said: "Of course." So you paid three hundred gold coins for the payment. You can ask my husband again How much is the sword worth? Just wait and see how he reacts. You talk to him for a while, then find an excuse to get out and see me, I will wait for you at the entrance of the tunnel."

"Understood, I'll just do as you said." Merun Shamai agreed, hung the dagger on his waist, and hurried to Erbi's shop. Erbi welcomed him warmly and asked him to sit down. Suddenly he saw the dagger hanging on his waist, and wondered, "This is my dagger. How could it fall into the hands of this businessman?" He wondered for a while. , thinking to himself: "I must find out whether this sword is mine, or another sword similar to my dagger." At this time, Merun Shamai unhurriedly took down the dagger, handed it to Erpi, and said, "Master, take a look at this dagger."

Erbi took the dagger and examined it clearly, but he was embarrassed to say that it was his dagger, so he hesitated and asked, "Where did you buy it?" Merun Shamai repeated what the little lady had taught him. After hearing this, Erpi said absent-mindedly: "It is really a good deal to buy this dagger at this price. To be honest, it is worth five hundred gold coins." He was obedient, thinking about the short sword, Merun Shamai talked to him, he didn't even listen to a word, he just felt like he was being tortured in his heart, his body was trembling, his mind was at a loss, he didn't know Overwhelmed.

Seeing his embarrassing look, Merun Shamai said, "You may be too busy, so I'll take my leave first." Then he left the shop and hurried back home.The little lady was already waiting at the entrance of the tunnel. When she saw him, she asked: "Did you follow my arrangement?" "yes." "What did he tell you?" "He said the price was very good, and the sword was worth at least five hundred gold coins. He was in a mess at the time, so I excused myself and left. I don't know what happened later." "Give me the dagger, and he won't blame you." The little lady took the dagger, hurried back home, put the dagger back as it was, and then sat there calmly. The more Erpi thought about it in the shop, the more suspicious he became, and he secretly said: "I have to go home and have a look, otherwise I can't suppress the doubts in my heart." So he stood up, stumbled back home, panting heavily, out of breath He came to his wife angrily. "Master, what's the matter with you?" His wife asked pretending to be ignorant. "Where is my short sword?" "It's in the box." She said, beating her chest and stamping her feet, "My God! Did you come back to look for the dagger after you had a fight with someone, are you going to use it to kill people?" "Show me that dagger." "You have to swear not to use it to kill people before I will show it to you." After Erbi had sworn, the little lady opened the box and took out the dagger.He took the dagger and looked at it over and over for a long time, sighed: "This is so strange!" Then he said to his wife: "Keep it as it is!" "Tell me, what's the matter?" the wife pressed him. "I saw a dagger just like this one hanging around the waist of our merchant friend." Then he copied Merun Shamai's conversation to her, and finally said: "I saw the dagger was placed in a good way." In the box, my doubts disappeared." "So what do you think of me! Am I the mistress of the sword-fighter? Did I give him the dagger?" "To be honest, I was so skeptical at first, but now everything is clear. I worried too much." "Master, you really have no conscience!" Seeing his wife complaining about him, Erbi felt guilty, so he humbly apologized to her.After she calmed down, she went back to the shop and continued to work. The next day, the little lady brought a perfectly decorated silver watch processed by her husband to Merun Shamai, and said to him: "Go to Erbi's shop again, find him, and tell him that you are You ran into the sword fighter who was selling this silver watch. You said, "He said it was given to him by his mistress, and you bought it for only fifty-eight gold coins." You showed it to him and asked Is he worthwhile, and then pay attention to his reaction, and then come to see me." According to the little lady's instructions, Merun Shamai came to Erpi shop to act again.Erpi glanced at the silver watch and concluded, "This watch is worth at least seven hundred gold coins." After making Erbi suspicious, Merun Shamai left with an excuse, hurried home, and returned the watch to the little lady.As soon as the two of them broke up, Erpi ran home out of breath again. "Where is my watch?" he asked his wife. "Isn't it in the box?" The wife replied calmly. "Give it to me!" The wife fetched the watch and handed it to him. Holding the watch, he sighed sadly, "How could this happen? I hope the great Allah will save me." "Master, why don't you explain clearly? What happened, tell me quickly!" "What can I say? I am completely confused, lady! The first time I saw a dagger hanging from the waist of my merchant friend, I knew it was mine. My original creation, unique in the world. When I heard him tell the origin of the dagger, my heart was very painful. I rushed home and saw that my dagger was in good condition, so I was relieved; but today I saw him holding a silver watch again, And the way the silver watch is decorated and inlaid is definitely my own elaborate work, and I can't find a second one. I am heartbroken to listen to his account of the origin of the watch. Now I am really confused. What kind of disaster is it? It will fall on my head!" "So, I am the mistress and concubine of that merchant? I gave him your belongings and treasures! Don't you believe in my chastity and come to question me? If you can't find the silver watch and dagger, then you must He will say that I have committed adultery with him! Master, since you don’t trust me so much, why should I treat you as my husband to eat and live with you. Tell you, I am really tired of you.” Erpi regretted that he should not tell his wife everything in his heart, so he humbly apologized to her, comforted her patiently, and did not return to the shop until she was calm.But she was still restless, her doubts were increasing, she guessed at the truth and the false, and tried to figure out what was going on.He was restless, and stayed in the bunk as if sitting on pins and needles, and he returned home listlessly and alone in the evening. "Why didn't the merchant come?" his wife asked him. "In his own home." "Could it be that you are alienated and indifferent?" "I swear to Allah, after what happened like that, I hate to be in contact with him." "Go! For my sake, go ask him to sit with you." He obeyed his wife's orders and came to Merun Shamai's house with a sullen look.Myron Shamai asked: "Why are you silent? What are you thinking?" "I feel very bored and tired, and restless. Come on, go to my house and talk." "Forget it, I won't go." Merun Shamai rebuffed him. He persisted in persuading him, and brought Merun Shamai back home, where they ate, drank and chatted together.He has been sinking in his worries, talking to Merun Shamai inconsequentially.The maid served the food and drink as usual, and after the host and guest drank, the host fell asleep immediately, and only Merun Shamai was awake as usual, because the wine he drank had not been mixed with drugs.At this time, the little lady appeared in front of Merun Shamai again, and said: "What do you think of this drunk-out Twoleg? He doesn't understand women's tricks, and I'm going to keep lying to him until he divorces me. Tomorrow I'll pretend to be a fool." Dress up as a woman, and go to his shop with you. You tell him that you bought me by chance when you went to the hotel for a thousand gold coins, and let him see if I am worth it. When the time comes, I will lift the veil, Let him take a look, and then you take me away. I will go back through the tunnel immediately, and you just wait and see what happens." After she finished speaking, she and Merun Shamai continued to talk about each other affectionately and affectionately .At dawn, she returned to her room and sent the maid to the living room to wake the master.The host and guest said morning prayers together, had breakfast and coffee together, and parted. Not long after Merun Shamai returned home, the little lady packed up neatly and came to Merun Shamai's house from the tunnel. According to the original plan, the two of them went to Erpi shop together to greet him, And sat down together.Merun Shamai said: "Master, I went to the hotel today and saw this maid in the hands of the broker there. I liked it very much, so I bought her for a thousand gold coins. Please help me." Take a look for me, is this price worth it?" He said as he lifted the veil of the little lady to show Erbi. Erpi opened his eyes wide and saw that it was his wife. Her body was soft and covered in makeup, exactly the same as she was dressed at home.Her face, clothing, and everything in her gestures are clearly his wife, and even her jewelry is inlaid by him.He also saw her wearing the three gemstone ring he had set for Merun Shamai.In short, looking left and right, he could recognize her as his wife at a glance. "What's your name?" he asked the maid. "Harry." His wife's name was Harriet, and the maid said her name was Harriet, which surprised him even more.He turned and asked Myron Shamai, "How much did you pay for her?" "One thousand gold coins." "You picked her up for nothing. Her rings, clothes, and jewelry are all worth more than that." "If you think it's not bad, I'm relieved. Now I'm going to take her home. " "You can do whatever you want." Merun Shamai took the little lady back home, and she immediately slipped back to her own home through the tunnel, calmly, as if nothing had happened. Anger was burning in Erpi's heart, and he said to himself: "I will go home immediately to see my wife. If she is still at home, then this maid is just like her; if she is not at home, then this maid must be like her." It's her." So he jumped up and rushed home in one breath, seeing his wife wearing the same clothes and jewelry that he wore in the shop just now, quietly and leisurely at home, he clapped his hands and sighed. A few times: "What's going on here? I only hope that the great Allah will save me!" "Master," the little lady asked in feigned surprise, "Are you crazy? What happened again? You were not like this before, so something must have happened to you!" "If you want me to tell the truth, first swear you will never be angry." "Say it straight." "Our businessman friend just bought a maid. Her appearance, figure, name, clothing and even her jewelry and rings are exactly the same as yours. When he asked me to appreciate her, I thought she It's you, I'm so confused. If only we never got to know that businessman, if only he never came to Basra, I never made friends with him, that would be nice! He's the one who disturbed me A peaceful life makes me sweet first and then bitter. Now I am full of doubts and wild thoughts." "You have to look clearly, look carefully, maybe I am the mistress of that businessman, and I personally accompanied him to see you! Maybe I disguised myself as a maid and went to your bunk with him to fool you! " "What are you talking about? How could such a thing happen?" "Oh! Now I stay at home, and you knock on his door at once, and try to sneak into his house. If you see the maid with him, she is only like me; if If the maid is not with him, then I am the maid who is with him, and this proves that your suspicion of me is true." "you are right." He agreed with his wife's suggestion, and immediately rushed out of the gate and went straight to the neighbor's house. At the same time, the little lady rushed to Merun Shamai's house from the tunnel, sat with him, explained the situation, and told him: " Go open the door and let him come in and see me!" She had just finished giving orders when there was an urgent knock on the door. "Who is it?" Myron Shamai asked. "It's your friend! Do you still remember the maid you asked me to admire in the city? I think you have good eyesight, but I haven't seen her clearly enough yet, please open the door and let me see her again Take a look." "okay then." As soon as Merun Shamai opened the door, Erpi broke in and saw the little lady sitting in the room.When the little lady saw him, she immediately got up to greet him, kissed his hand, and also kissed the hand of Merun Shamai.No matter how carefully he thought about it, he didn't feel any difference from his wife.He chatted casually with Merun Shamai, and lamented sadly: "Allah creates everything as He pleases." Then he was full of melancholy and listlessly said goodbye and returned to his home, where his wife was still sitting in the house.He was so mediocre and incompetent that he couldn't detect his wife's tricks, so he could only feel unhappy. "What did you see?" the wife asked him. "Saw the handmaiden with her master. She is so like you that she is exactly like a prong." "Since this is the case, you should go to the shop and work with peace of mind. Stop thinking about it, let alone guessing about others." "Well, forgive me! Please don't take these things to heart." He took his wife in his arms, kissed them affectionately, and went back to work in the shop.As soon as he left, the little lady took four sacks with her back and slipped to Merun Shamai's house through the tunnel, and said to him, "Get ready to go. Don't forget to bring your belongings, I will help you. " Merun Shamai immediately prepared everything, bought mules, horses, sedan chairs, and servants, tied the packs, and transported the belongings outside the city smoothly. Then he went to see the little lady and said, "Everything is ready." "I gave you all his money and goods, and now he has nothing. My dear, it was all for love. For you, I would have betrayed my husband a thousand times. But you must say goodbye to him, Let’s just say that you leave home these few days and ask him to calculate the rent you owe him, see how he reacts, and then come back and tell me. I wanted to use various tricks to stimulate him and make him angry so that He divorced me in a fit of anger, but things backfired. We had no choice but to elope, fly away, and go to your hometown." "Finally looking forward to today, our dream has finally come true." Myron Shamai, the concierge secretary, was full of joy, ran to Erpi shop with a smile on his face, sat with him, and said: "Master, I will leave for home in three days. Now I come to you, One is to bid farewell to you, and the other is to ask you to calculate the rent I owe you and let me pay you to settle this debt." "What are you talking about? You have taken care of me, and I swear to Allah, I will not charge you a penny for the rent. You have lived in my house, and we are proud. When you leave, I will feel lonely. If If God allows, I will try my best to stop you and let you stay here and meet relatives and friends." After he finished speaking, the two were reluctant to leave, weeping at each other, and waved goodbye. Erpi closed the store and locked the door, thinking: "I should give this good friend away." So he enthusiastically helped Merun Shamai with various chores, and finally he went to Merun Shamai's house and saw the little lady Sitting in the house, he greeted them graciously and served them thoughtfully; at the end, when he returned to his home, he also saw his wife sitting in the house calmly. In the three days before Merun Shamai's departure, every time Erbi went home, he always saw his wife behaved well; when he went to a friend's house, he also saw the little lady there. This situation continued to occur without any sign of change. , he couldn't help feeling completely blurred. One day, while her husband was away, the little lady told Merun Shamai quietly, "I have asked me to move all his wealth to you. Now there is only a maid who serves wine and meals in his house. I can't live without her." Because she is my relative and has always been on my side. I am going to beat her up with an excuse, and when my husband comes home, I will say that I hate her and ask him not to keep her, take her away, and sell her When he sells her, you will buy her, so that we can take her with us. " "Okay, just listen to you." The little lady beat the maid as planned.When Erbi came home, he saw the maid was crying, and asked the reason, and found out that it was his wife who beat her, so he went to see his wife and asked, "What did this damned maid do to make you so angry that you are so angry?" hit her." "Master, let me tell you, I don't want to see this maid again, take her away and sell her. Otherwise, you can just divorce me." "I'll sell her, I'll listen to you in everything." Erbi was going to take the maid to sell, so he stopped by Merun Shamai's house to have a look.At that time, when his wife saw him go out, like an arrow leaving the string, she came to Merun Shamai's house through the tunnel and hid in the sedan chair.Then BR came with the maid. Merun Shamai saw it and asked, "Who is this?" "It's the maid who brings us tea and water. She disobeys orders and annoys my wife. I'm going to sell her." "Since she annoys your wife and can't get along well with your wife, let me keep her and let her serve my maid Harriet. Besides, I can feel a little breath of you from her to relieve lovesickness." .” "Okay, then you can take her away." Erbi agreed. "How much should I pay you?" "You took care of us, and I won't take any money." Merun Shamai left the maid and told the little lady: "Come out soon, thank the master. Come out and kiss his hand." Erpi's wife stepped out of the sedan chair, kissed her husband's hand, and then slowly got back into the sedan chair.Erpi looked at her with complicated emotions.Merun Shamai said: "Master, I hope Allah bless you with peace and happiness. Please forgive me if you have offended me." "May Allah bless you and wish you a safe journey." Erpi sent Merun Shamai away, feeling lost and bursting into tears.At that time, he felt sad and happy at the same time, which was very contradictory.Sadness is because a good friend is gone, they have a deep friendship, and once they part, they will be reluctant to part; joy is because once he is gone, the friction between the husband and wife can be dispelled because of him.His doubts about his wife were indeed superfluous.So he was at ease, feeling relaxed and happy.
