It is said that Du Shenqing and Ji Weixiao got along very well.That night, Ji Wei and Xiaoyin stayed at Cheng'en Temple in the city, and rushed into the city to watch it get dark.Bao Tingxi followed Du Shenqing back to his apartment, and Du Shenqing bought wine to eat with him, so he asked him, "How is Brother Ji Wei?" , is the youngest nephew, and this year, Mr. Xun of the Salt Transport Department took care of him for several hundred silver, and he recruited a son-in-law at You's house in Yangzhou.When Du Shenqing heard this, she smiled and remembered it, and left him to rest at the apartment.At night, Du Shenqing sighed when he told Mr. Xiang about his kindness to his family; and when he talked about the lumpy things about him marrying Mrs. Wang, Du Shenqing laughed a lot.Rest overnight.

The next morning, Ji Weixiao came to worship with Mr. Zong from the palace.Come in, make a bow and sit down. Mr. Zong talks about singing with the king and Li Qizi in Zhao Wang's mansion in the capital.Du Shenqing said: "Fengzhou and Yu Lin are my uncles." When it comes to the eldest son, Du Shenqing said: "Zong Kaogong is the same year as the first king." Brothers.Du Shenqing didn't agree, the servant brought out some tea and ate it, Mr. Zong left and left Ji Weixiao at his apartment to talk.Du Shenqing said, "Brother Wei, the person I hate the most is a gauze hat. Just now, Mr. Zong, when he mentioned my uncle, he said that he was a brother with him. I'm afraid that my uncle doesn't want this down-and-out Brother!" As he spoke, he served the meal.

Just as they were about to eat, the servant came to report, "Matchmaker Shen is out to talk to the master." Shen Qing said, "Why don't you ask him to come in!" The servant went out and brought Shen Dajiao in.Du Shenqing asked for a stool to sit with him underneath.Shen Dazuo asked: "This master?" Du Shenqing said: "This is Master Anqingji." Yin asked: "What happened to what I entrusted to you?" Shen Dazuo said: "Exactly. Seventeenth Master took this piece I left it to me, and I walked most of Nanjing City, because the master's characters were too neat, I thought that the girl who was just a little bit was not good enough, so I dared not speak. Thanks to my careful inquiries, I found out about this girl , I live in Huapailou, my family runs a computer room, and my surname is Wang. The girl is 12 points and half a point more talented. This year is 17 years old. Not to mention the girl is beautiful, this girl has a brother, one year younger than him, if she dresses up No one from Xiaodan in Class 10 of Huaiqing Bridge Education can beat him! She can also sing a lot of tunes and put on a play. This girl has nothing to say, so I invite the master to watch it." Du Shenqing said: " If that's the case, well, you tell him to clean it up, I'll go and see it tomorrow." Shen Dajiao agreed and went.Ji Weixiao said, "Congratulations for accepting your favor." Du Shenqing frowned and said, "Sir, this is also a great plan for the heir, and there is nothing I can do about it, otherwise, why would I do such a thing?" Carpe diem, why do you say that?" Du Shenqing said: "Brother Wei, you don't know me. My great ancestor, Emperor Gao, said: 'If I hadn't been born as a woman, all the women in the world would have been killed!' Is there a woman in the world? Okay? My little brother has a temperament, you can smell his stench just three rooms away from the woman."

Ji Weixiao wanted to ask again, only to see a young servant walking in with a post in his hand, and said, "There is a Wuhu man named Guo coming to pay respects outside." Du Shenqing said, "Where do I know this person named Guo?" Ji Weixiao took the post and looked at it and said: "This is Guo Tiebi from the bookstore at the gate of the temple. I think he engraved two books to pay homage to, and the master asked him to come in and have a sit." Du Shenqing called his servant to come in.Guo Tiebi came in and bowed, said a lot of words of admiration, and said, "The Zunfu is a family with three tripods, four generations and six ministers. The world is full of former students and old officials. Governors, governors, ministers, and Taoists work outside. , Countless. The housekeepers go out and work as nine-rank miscellaneous officials. Mr. Ji, we have heard it since we were young: the old lady of the Tianchang Du Mansion gave birth to this grand master, who is the most talented person in the world. " After finishing speaking, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve, which contained two books with "Taiwan Seal" written on it, and handed it over with both hands, Du Shenqing took it, said some gossip, got up and sent it out.When Du Shenqing came back, he said to Ji Weixiao: "When he saw me, he gave birth to these evil talks, but thanks to his visit, he found out." Ji Weixiao said: "Who doesn't know about the Zunfu?"

Now pack up the wine and leave Ji Weixiao to sit.Serve the wine, and the two talk heart-to-heart.Ji Weixiao said: "Sir, is there any good in mountains and rivers in your life?" Du Shenqing said: "My little brother has no tools to win, so it is reluctant to climb mountains and face water." Ji Weixiao said: "Is there any good in silk and bamboo?" "It's okay to listen to it once in a while; after listening for a long time, I also feel noisy and noisy." After a few more glasses of wine, Du Shenqing came up slightly drunk, and unconsciously sighed: "Brother Wei, since ancient times Now, what people can't break is the word 'love'!" Ji Weixiao said: "There is no love between men and women, just now my brother said that it is not what you like." Du Shenqing smiled and said: "Brother, is there only love between men and women? The love of friends is better than that of men and women! You don’t look at anything else, only the story of Jun E’s embroidered quilt. According to my younger brother, there is only one Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty who wants to Zen the world and Dong Xian through the ages. It's just that, but it's a pity that no one can understand." Ji Weixiao said: "Yes, has my brother ever met a confidant in his life?" Du Shenqing said: "If there is such a person in the world, who is also the same as me. Death, my little brother shouldn't be so sentimental! It's just because the fate is shallow and I can't meet a confidant, so I feel sad for the moon and shed tears in the wind!" Ji Weixiao said: "If you want this one, you should ask for it in the pear garden. "Du Shenqing said: "Brother Wei, your words are more laymen. For example, if you want to seek love in a pear garden, it means that a woman who loves women wants to seek a love in a brothel. Isn't it a big mistake? , Affinity is beyond the body, Fang is the first class person in the world," he patted his knees and sighed: "There will be no such person in the world, God will let me down, Du Shenqing, who is full of sorrow and chivalry!" Saying this, mourning Tears come.

Ji Weixiao secretly said: "He is already possessed by a demon, just wait for me to play tricks on him." Yin said: "Sir, don't say that there is no such person in the world. My younger brother once met a young man, not Li Yuan, nor my generation." , is a yellow crown. This man is elegant and romantic, and he is indeed a man, not like a woman. I am most annoying to praise a man, and always say that he looks like a woman. This is the most ridiculous. If you want to look like a woman, it is better to see a woman There is another kind of male beauty in the world, but people don’t know it.” Du Shenqing patted the table and said: “Just one sentence should be circled! What do you say about this man?” Ji Weixiao said, “He is so wonderful, there is How many people want to look for him, but he easily refuses to smile with others, but he loves talent tightly. Because the younger brother is a few years older, he feels ugly in front of him, so he dare not think about meeting him. Eldest brother, How do you meet this man?" Du Shenqing said, "When are you going to come with him?" Ji Weixiao said, "It wouldn't be a surprise if I got him to come. The elder brother must visit himself Him." Du Shenqing said: "Where does he live?" Ji Weixiao said: "He is optimistic." Du Shenqing said: "What's his last name?" Ji Weixiao said: "I can't say the name at this time, if the mechanism is leaked , He knew that if he avoided it, you still wouldn’t catch it. Now I wrote his name, wrapped it in a paper bag, sealed it outside, and handed it over to you. You can only open it when you arrive at the gate of Shentong. Look, go in and look for it, once you look for it, you will find it." Du Shenqing smiled and said, "That's all."

Then Ji Weixiao walked into the room, closed the door, wrote for half a day, sealed it firmly, scratched the word "imperial order" on the cover, took it out and handed it to him, saying: "Don't let me pass. I'll come to congratulate you again after tomorrow's meeting is over, Miao Ren." After that, I went.Du Shenqing sent it back and said to the big and small servants: "Go back tomorrow morning and say "Shen Dajiao". Tomorrow, you will not be free to go to Huapailou to see the daughter of that family. You will not go until the day after tomorrow. Call the bearer tomorrow morning, and I will go to Shenguang Went to see friends." The order was finished, and there was nothing to do that night.

The next morning, I got up early, washed my face, rubbed soap, changed into a new set of clothes, smelled a lot of incense all over my body, put the paper bun written by Ji Weixiao in my sleeve, took a sedan chair until I arrived at Shenlian Optimism, and left the sedan chair at the door.Stepping into the mountain gate by himself, he took out a paper bag from his sleeve, opened it and read: Go to an osmanthus Taoist temple at the end of the north corridor, and ask a new Taoist friend from Yangzhou to come to Xiashi.Du Shenqing asked the bearers to wait on her, and walked to the inside in a zigzag way. She heard the sound of drums and music inside, and there was a Doumu Pavilion in front.The door of the pavilion was wide open, and there were three open halls inside: in the middle sat an eunuch watching the mausoleum, wearing a boa robe; The little Taoist is playing and singing for fun there.Du Shenqing was puzzled: "Could it be that Lai Xiashi is also in it?" Because he looked at all the Xiaodao soils, but he didn't see any outstanding ones.Looking back at these actors again, it was normal, and he thought to himself: "Since he came to Xiashi to cherish himself, he would never be here with such a person. I will go to the Osmanthus Garden to ask."

When I came to the Osmanthus Taoist Temple, I knocked on the door, Taoist, please sit downstairs.Du Shenqing said: "I'm here to pay homage to the new master from Yangzhou." The Taoist said: "The master is upstairs. Please sit down, master. I'll ask him to come down." The Taoist went for a while, only to see a fat man coming down the stairs. A Taoist priest came here, wearing a Taoist crown, wearing an agarwood-colored straight gown, a greasy black face, two heavy eyebrows, a big nose, and a full beard. He was about fifty years old.The Taoist came down and bowed to him, and asked, "Where is your surname?" Du Shenqing said, "My place is long, and my surname is Du." " Du Shenqing said: "That's it." The Taoist smiled all over his face, and quickly said respectfully: "I don't know that the master is coming to the province, so I should come to pay my respects first. How can I resist the arrival of the master?" He hurriedly asked the Taoist to simmer fresh tea. , holding out the fruit plate.Du Shenqing thought to himself: "This is naturally the master of Lai Xia." Because he asked: "There is a Lai Xia, who is your disciple? Ling Sun?" The Taoist said: "The Xiaodao is Lai Xia." Du Shenqing ate for a while Surprised, he said: "Oh! You are Lai Xia Shi!" I couldn't help myself, and covered my mouth with my sleeve and smiled. A volume of poems to ask for advice.Shenqing had no choice but to reluctantly take a look, drank two cups of tea, and got up to say goodbye.The Taoist must hold hands and send out the gate, and ask clearly: "My master is in Baoen Temple, Xiaodao will go to Zunfu tomorrow for a few days."Du Shenqing couldn't help laughing all the way on the bridge, thinking to herself: "Ji Weixiao is such an idiot, talking nonsense!"

When I went back to the lower place, I saw the boy said, "There are some guests inside." When Du Shenqing walked in, it was Xiao Jinxuan, Xin Dongzhi, Jin Yuliu and Jin Dongya who came to worship.Xin Dongzhi sent a large calligraphy, Jin Yuliu sent a pair, and Jin Dongya sent the "Four Books Lectures" compiled by himself for advice.They bowed and sat down, each of them talked about their origins, had tea, and said goodbye.Du Shenqing sneered, and said to the big and small servants: "A person who works as a bookkeeper has come back to pay attention to the "Four Books". This is what the sages say!" Seal the book and send a picture of carnival to ask questions.Du Shenqing just found it disgusting, so she had no choice but to accept it, and wrote a letter to send the boy away.The next day, I went to see my concubine, made an appointment, and chose to go through the door within three days, then I was busy moving to the river house to marry my concubine.

The next day, Ji Weixiao came to congratulate, and Du Shenqing came out to meet.He said: "Why did my wife come in so late, my younger brother never came to make trouble, He Chi is guilty today!" Du Shenqing said: "I didn't prepare a table last night, nor did I invite you." Ji Weixiao said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, you got to see a wonderful man." What?" Du Shenqing said: "You bitch, you should remember to give him a good beating! But you are still doing well, so let me spare you." Ji Weixiao said: "Why should you be beaten? I said he was a beautiful man You don't look like a woman. Don't you see it?" Du Shenqing said: "This is the time to fight!" Just laughing, I saw the Taoist priest and Bao Tingxi walking into Weihexi together, and the two couldn't help laughing.Du Shenqing waved her hand and told Ji Weixiao not to laugh.The four bowed and sat down, and Du Shenqing stayed for dinner. After dinner, Du Shenqing talked about how he saw an eunuch in Doumu Pavilion that day in Shenlian, with an actor sitting on the left and a Taoist priest sitting on the right, playing and singing there.Ji Weixiao said: "Such a happy thing is used by such a person. I can't hate it!" Du Shenqing said: "Brother Weixiao, I want to discuss something strange with you." Ji Weixiao said: " What strange thing?" Du Shenqing asked Bao Tingxi, "How many opera troupes are there on your gate and on the bridge?" Bao Tingxi said, "More than one hundred and thirty troupes." Du Shenqing said, "I want to be a winner in my heart, choose one One day, I picked a huge place and called all the dozens of groups of actors and actresses to do a play alone. Brother Wei and I watched from the side, remembering their figures, appearances, and acting. Give him a secret sign, and after a few days, he will be judged on his merits, and a list will be made, and the one with both sex and art skills will be at the forefront, and posted on the thoroughfare. But these people don't want to pass him on for nothing. Yes, a poem fan. Is this trick good?" Ji Weixiao jumped up and said: "There is such a wonderful thing, why don't you tell me sooner! Don't make me happy!" Bao Tingxi laughed: "These people let the door go Biography. He got another five qian silver per person. In the future, the masters will take it out for him and write it on the list. Xiangyu will give you some money. When they hear this, which one won't come and play a show!" The Taoist priest clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! It's good for Taoist priests to meet each other. I don't know if gentlemen can allow Taoist priests to come and see one day " Du Shenqing said: "Why not? But all friends who know each other have to be invited to the table." Ji Weixiao said: "Let's discuss where it is now?" Bao Tingxi said: "My servant lives in Shuixi Gate, and the closest place outside Shuixi Gate Go down and borrow the pavilion of Mochou Lake, which is spacious and cool." Wei Xiao said: "These people are passed on by Mrs. Baogu. Needless to say, we also have to issue a knowledge sheet. It will be a certain date. " The Taoist said: "Now it's the twentieth day of April. Father Bao has gone to spread the word for a few days. When the spread is complete, it will take about ten days. It's the third day of the fifth lunar month." Du Shenqing said: "Brother Wei, I took a red full post, I read it, you write," Ji Weixiao took the post, holding a pen in his hand.Shen Qing said: After writing, hand it over to Bao Tingxi for collection.He also asked the boy to fetch a hundred fans from the store. Ji Weixiao, Du Shenqing and the Taoist priest each shared dozens of fans to write.Then discuss and invite these guests.Ji Weixiao spread a piece of red paper in front of him and opened the way: Mr. Zong, Mr. Xin, Mr. Jin Dongya, Mr. Jin Yuliu, Mr. Xiao Jinxuan, Mr. Zhuge, Mr. Ji, Guo Tiebi, Master Senggong, Master Lai Taoist, Bao Sir, including two masters, there are thirteen in total.Just using these two names, I wrote eleven posts and prepared them for half a day. I saw the lady's brother Wang Liuge brought a person, carrying a load of things: two ducks, two chickens, one goose, one piece of meat, eight-color snacks, and a bottle of wine, to see my sister.Du Shenqing said: "It's a good time to come," and he bowed to Du Shenqing.Du Shenqing held her back, and when she looked closely at him, she was indeed handsome, his sister was not as good as him.Tell him to go in and see his sister and come out to sit.He ordered the chickens and ducks that had just been delivered to be packed up and eaten.He had seen his sister, and when he came out to sit, Du Shenqing told him what Huting had done.Liu Ge said: "Interesting! I will also play it that day." Ji Weixiao said: "But, today I have to ask for a piece of music, let's listen to it." Wang Liuge smiled.In the evening, bring wine and eat for a while.Bao Tingxi played the flute, and a Taoist came to play the board. Wang Liu sang a "Biyuntian" - "Farewell to the Changting Pavilion", with melodious rhythm, and it took three meals to finish singing.Everyone got very drunk and then dispersed. On the third day of junior high school, two troupes of opera boxes were sent to Mochou Lake.The two masters, Ji and Du, arrived first, and the guests gradually arrived.Bao Tingfu brought sixty or seventy opera singers, all of whom had the word "Zhi" drawn on them, to kowtow to Young Master Du.Du Shenqing asked them to have dinner first, and then they all dressed up, walked by the pavilion one by one, looked at it carefully, and then appeared on the stage to act.The actors promised to go. When all the celebrities looked at the lake pavilion, the windows were all around, surrounded by lake water every turn, a little smoked by the phoenix, and the blowing made ripples.There is a bridge outside the pavilion, and actors come in in costumes, and they all pass over this bridge.Du Shenqing ordered the middle door to be closed, and let the opera singer walk across the bridge, turn around from the corridor, enter the east grid, and go out from the middle of the pavilion to the west grid, so as to carefully watch their graceful descriptions.When the opera singers had dinner, they all dressed up in brand-new Baotou with extremely fresh folds. One by one, they came across the bridge and walked from the middle of the pavilion.Du Shenqing and Ji Weixiao made notes with pens and paper hidden in their hands. In a short time, set up a banquet, beat the gongs and drums, and come up alone to perform a play.There are also those who do "inviting banquets", some who do "peeping drunks", some who do "borrowing tea", and some who do "thorn tigers", all of which vary.Later, Wang Liuge made a song "Si Fan".At night, hundreds of bright corner lamps are lit, high and low, shining like the day; the singing is ethereal, straight into the sky.Those wealthy people in the city who work in yamen, run banks, and open shops, heard about the Mochou Lake meeting, and they all hired fishing boats in the lake, put up awnings, hung up lamps, and they all went to the lake. Look left and right.When they were happy, they all cheered in unison, and they didn't break up until dawn.At that time, the gate of the city was opened, and each went into the city. One day later, a list was hung at the gate of Shuixi, and it was written: first place, Zheng Kuiguan, Ban Xiaodan, Fanglin; second place, Ge Laiguan, Linghe Banxiaodan; third place, Wang Liuge.The rest, a total of more than 60 people, were all taken from above.Bao Tingxi took Zheng Kuiguan to Du Shenqing's apartment to meet him, and thanked him face to face.Du Shenqing weighed two taels of gold again, and asked Bao Tingxi to go to the silversmith's shop to make a gold cup with the words "Yan Duo Cherry" engraved on it, especially to reward Zheng Kuiguan.Others took away their purses, silver, sweat towels and poetry fans. Those young dans, those who were in the top ten, and the senior officials he met came to see the list, and they were all very proud. Some of them took the house to have a drink, and some bought wine and had a drink in the hotel to celebrate.This one ate wine, and that one came to eat again, which was enough to drink for three or four days. Since then, it has spread throughout the Shuixi Gate and stirred up troubles at the Huaiqing Bridge. This Mr. Du Shiqi is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River.Because of this, there are different teachings:
