Chapter 43 Chapter Seventeen

Ma Rong was full of wine and food in the White Crane Tower, humming a little song and turned to Cangchun Pavilion.Thinking of Yinxian in my heart at this moment, I feel more and more sweet. After entering the gate of Cangchun Pavilion, I hurried to the Xiangfang in the backyard.A yaoer stopped him, but he didn't recognize Ma Rong: "Guest gentleman, which one are you looking for?" "I want to see Miss Yinxian." Ma Rong said. "Miss Yinxian has been redeemed by someone, and she is gone!" Ma Rong smiled and said, "It's the one I redeemed, two ingots of gold."

Yaoer said in amazement. "It turned out to be a rich man. The clothes are so miserable. ——She was crying in the backyard room." "Tomorrow, I'll come to welcome her with a big head and a big horse. Let's see if she still cries or not. You, the grandson of a bastard, will stare straight at you with your outfit." Ma Rong knocked on the door of No. 4 Xishe. "There's no one inside!" Yinxian said angrily. Ma Rong was taken aback: "Aren't you Yinxian human? I'm Ma Rong!" The door creaked open, and Yinxian stretched out his hand to pull Ma Rong into the room.

"It turned out to be Brother Ma Rong, who came just in time." Yinxian was indeed tear-stained. Ma Rong asked in surprise, "Why are you crying?" "Oh, it's not good. I don't know which decapitator ransom me with two ingots of gold, and it looks like he's about to come to fetch someone. What should we do? Please ask Ma Rong to help us. " "Help you?" Before Ma Rong understood Yin's words, he suddenly saw Jia Yubo sitting on the corner of the bed, dejected and silent. Ma Rong sat down blankly.Jia Yubo hurriedly saluted, and was about to speak when Yinxian spoke first: "Jia Xiucai and I have long agreed to be husband and wife, but he is unlucky and loses money in bets. It's good now, and the Feng family is pushing too hard. I want to recruit a son-in-law. Someone redeemed me again today, and the two of us have nowhere to go, and we are thinking about hanging ourselves together. ——Brother Ma Rong has always been righteous and saved me several times. Now, is there any good way to teach him? us."

Only then did Ma Rong understand what was going on. ——The mind suddenly became a pot of hot paste, glued together, and sat there dumbfounded. Jia Yubo also begged: "Brother Ma Rong is an official in the yamen. He pays from all directions. He has a lot of hands and eyes. There is always a way to help us. - I will pay the twenty taels of gold in the future. When you insist on taking the silver fairy, There is only one way for us to hang on the beam." After saying that, two lines of tears came down. Ma Rong regained his composure for a while, and saw the two Yinxians crying into a pile, looking miserable.He said: "Jia Xiucai, a scholar who does not seek fame and official career, has nothing to marry. What kind of wife can you marry? Can you afford it? Who wants to sell a few lines of poems?"

Jia Yubo wept and said: "Brother Ma Rongxiu said so. Men farm and women weave, and they spend time together. I do poetry and fu, and I don't sell them for money, and I don't rely on them for firewood. I just want to be with Yinxian. There is a thatched hut in the countryside, two parts of Susukida, and it is heaven. ——I am not an official, and I can teach a few children, and it is not in vain to read and write.” Ma Rong couldn't bear to hear his bitter words.Seeing Yinxian's tearful eyes looking at Jia Xiucai with infinite tenderness, jealousy suddenly arose again.Thinking about it is not a taste.

Yinxian choked and said: "Brother Ma Rong saved me, the kindness is for nothing. Let's break up here today. One day you go back to your hometown, and hope to say hello to the elders in the village on my behalf, and say that Yinxian is suffering. I can't go back to my hometown again." After saying that, she wiped away the tears with the sweat towel, tightened her skirt, and straightened her hairpin and bracelet. Jia Yubo pulled out two long white cloth belts from under the mattress, and slowly tied a knot in each. Ma Rong wakes up and yells badly.He stepped forward and quickly grabbed the cloth belt.After thinking about it, he smiled again: "Don't say that I, Ma Rong, are exquisite. I'll prevent this trick. Girl Yinxian, just listen. I knew you had the idea of ​​jumping out of the world and finding someone with a good reputation and good knowledge. I live on one horse and one saddle, so I have the heart to solve your troubles. I happened to win a sum of money in Hengfeng Manor today, so I used the money to redeem you with the owner." The license to press flowers out of nationality is handed over to Yinxian.

When Yinxian heard this, he came back from a desperate situation, and he was very happy. "It turns out that Brother Ma Rong has a heart of a bodhisattva, and he made preparations early to ferry people across. In this life, there is no place to repay kindness. In the next life, he will become a dog and horse, serving left and right. - Yinxian, I made a wish today, but I forgot that Brother Ma Rong thought of righteousness. , carry the iron shackles long, and never be born." After speaking, tears fell like rain. Jia Yubo woke up from a dream, and wanted to cry but had no tears.Standing beside the bed in a daze, watching the two cloth belts that Ma Rong snatched.

Yinxian pulled Jia Yubo away, and both knelt down at Ma Rong's feet, kowtowing repeatedly. Jia Yubo hissed, "Brother Ma Rong supports you so much, and you share your worries and difficulties, and your kindness is better than your own parents. In the next day, the streets will be surrounded by weeds, and I will thank you again. The twenty taels of gold, I would like to make a bond, and I will make up for it if I have a little more money. " Ma Rong said: "It doesn't matter, don't worry about it." Suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed, "The money won in this game has no heels. If you don't spend it today, you will lose it tomorrow. What is it? Besides, I am not used to counting needles and threads." Bill. Helping you guys is accumulating your own virtues, isn’t it a good thing.——You two have loved each other for a long time, and you should also follow the old saying that a beautiful woman is slim and a gifted man is romantic, and don’t mention the twenty taels of gold.” After saying that, he opened the door and walked away.

Yinxian caught up with him: "Brother Ma Rong, recognize me as my sister in the future, I really recognize you as my brother." Looking at Yinxian's smiling face, Ma Rong's face was hot and shivering, filled with emotion.Turned around and ran out of Cangchun Pavilion. ——Suddenly thought of something again, and when he turned around, he saw Yinxian still standing in the night phoenix, crying non-stop. "Master Di might want to see Jia Xiucai tomorrow, and he has a few questions to ask. Tell him not to go far before noon." Walking on the street, Ma Rong felt as if he had knocked over a pot of soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and spicy food. The five flavors were mixed, and the seven emotions were upside down.Touch the lapel sleeves, only a dozen or so copper coins.Can't help feeling sorry for myself for a while. ——There happened to be a chicken feather shop in front of you.Seeing that it was the sleeping place of traffickers and pawns, they burrowed in.I paid five copper coins and squeezed into a smelly and dirty bunk.

There is a piece of smoke and sweat on the left and right.Ma Rong didn't wash his face and feet, and lay down with his head sullen, sandwiched between two naked men.Looking at the greasy and black flesh on both sides, I suddenly thought of Yinxian in my heart. ——How happy and refreshing this night should have been.Ma Rong couldn't help but let out another long sigh, full of sourness, it was his turn to lament his fate.
