Chapter 46 The forty-fifth round of Dunyouyi's brother-in-law was taught geomancy and went home to bury relatives

It is said that Mr. Yu Da handed this book to Du Shaoqing for reading, and it said roughly: "There is something that is going on here at the moment, and elder brother must not come home. I heard that elder brother lives in Shaoqing's cousin's house. , it’s best to rest assured, wait for me to take care of this matter and come to pick up elder brother, then elder brother will come back." Mr. Yu Da said: "What is this after all?" Du Shaoqing said: "Second cousin neither Ken said that my cousin has no place to ask at this time, and he lives with me, so he naturally knows." Mr. Yu Da wrote a reply letter and said: "What is it, brother can write it down in detail. With me, I’m not in a hurry. If you don’t let me know, I’ll be anxious instead.”

The man took the book back to Wuhe and sent the book to the second master.The second master was talking to the county messenger there. After receiving the letter, he sent the villager to the messenger and said: "He sent a letter, saying that he wanted to commit Yu Chi. I have never been to Wuwei state. Why did you go?" The messenger said: "Have you been there or not, who saw it? We have business, we only know how to find people according to the ticket. We got robbers and thieves in the yamen, and they still refused to recruit them wearing sandalwood boots! That one would Tell the truth?" Mr. Yu Er had no choice but to send someone to the county, met the county magistrate in the hall, and knelt down and said: "The student is at home, and he has never been to Wuwei state. This is what the father and master have approved. The students really don't understand." The county magistrate said: "You have been there or not, and the county doesn't know. Now Wuwei state is mentioned here. If you say you have not been there, you can take it for yourself. "According to the official case, I asked the official on duty to hand over a piece of Guan Wen with a red ink mark.Yu Chi took it over and saw that it said:

In Wuwei Prefecture's trial of the case of Shenzhizhou's stolen goods, there was Yu Gongsheng, who was from Wuhe County, who had held some of the stolen goods. ... Yu Chi looked at it and said: "The teacher can understand the words of the students. This pass document is for Yu Chi, a tribute student, and the students are more than ten years away from the tribute." go away.The magistrate said: "Mr. Yu Sheng, don't be too busy. You just said it, but you understand it." Then he called the Li Fang and asked, "Is there another Yu Zhigong student in the county?" There are Gongsheng in the Yu family, but there is no Yu Chi." Yu Chi said again: "It can be seen that this Guanwen is a stalker." When he got up and left, the county magistrate said: "Yu Sheng, you go down and take these The reason comes with an innocence letter, and I will answer it for you."

Yu Chi agreed, went out of the Yamen and sat in a teahouse with the messenger, had a pot of tea, got up and left again.The messenger stopped and said, "Yu Erxiang, where do you live? In the early morning, the water does not stick to your teeth. If you walk here from your house, even if you are on an imperial mission, you can't be so thorny! Could it be that you are with you again at this time?" Can you go?" Mr. Yu Er said: "Your master asked me to go out and write a report." The messenger said: "You just said in class that you are a student, and as a student, you help others to write for a year, but it is your own. Are you going to find someone else? Behind the teahouse at the opposite door is your students who are experts in writing certificates. If you want to write, go in and write." Mr. Yu Er had no choice but to go to the back of the teahouse with the messenger.The messenger looked at a person inside and said: "The second minister wants to write a petition, and you write it for him. He makes the manuscript himself, and you copy it for him, using a stamp. If he doesn't give you money, it must be me." It’s a disaster! I’ll go to the other end of what happened yesterday, locked up in the hotel.”

Mr. Yu Er and Dai Shu arched their hands together.I saw a person sitting on the bench next to the table, wearing a ragged turban, wearing a ragged straight gown, and a pair of shoes on the soles of his feet for playing and singing. He recognized Tang Santan, a friend who eats meat in the county.Tang San Tan saw Mr. Yu Er coming in and said: "Second Brother Yu, you are here, please sit down." Mr. Yu Er sat down and said: "Brother Tang San, you came here early." Tang San Tan said: "No It's early. I ate noodles with Mr. Six in Fang Liufang very early in the morning, and I came here after sending Mr. Six out of the city. I know about you." Yin pulled aside, and whispered: "Second Mr., you Although this matter is not an official document, it will inevitably be included in the official documents in the future. Who doesn't know that your brother is now in Nanjing? Since ancient times, the "iron barrel of local documents" has always focused on the matter, and the matter is the Peng family. Now that you've said it, you'll get to the point of execution. Now hurry up and discuss with Mr. Peng San. His whole family is full of characters with You Kaihuyan, and only the third elder is a Shengde person. Now you are in a hurry to beg him. He doesn't necessarily care that you haven't dealt with him on weekdays. He is a large number of people in Dafu, so you can go without worry, or I will go with you. Logically speaking, you should contact these gentlemen on weekdays. This is where you make your brother too proud. When something goes wrong, there is no one to lean on." Mr. Yu Er said: "I am very concerned. But just now the county lord has promised me to reply, and I will hand it over Let me submit, wait for him to return the text for me, and then I will consider it." Tang San said with a phlegm, "Forget it, I will watch you write the petition." Immediately, he wrote the petition and took it to the county.The magistrate asked the book office to return to Wuwei prefecture according to his submission.Needless to say, the book office asked for a lot of paper and pen money.

After half a month, the document came back, and it was written innocently.reads: The key offender, Yu Chi, is a Gongsheng of Wuhe, with a white face and a slight beard. He is about fifty years old.On the 8th day of April, I met at the apartment of Chenghuang Temple in Wuwei Prefecture for a conversation about wind and shadow, personal and human life, and then entered the prefecture Yaguan on the 11th.After the confession was recorded by the state on the 16th, Fengying prepared a banquet and sent it to the Chenghuang Temple.Fengying gave out a total of four hundred taels of stolen silver, which the three shared equally, and the rest got one hundred and thirty-three taels of stolen money.On the 28th, I bid farewell to the prefectural office and returned to my native place in Wuhe from Nanjing.With the evidence of stolen evidence, why deny that there is no such person?It is a matter of constitutional matters, and human life is of great importance. Annoying Guixian County will check the documents and reasons, and immediately send the criminal to the prefecture to conclude the trial.Look fast!Look fast!

The magistrate took Guan Wen and sent Mr. Yu Er to ask.Mr. Yu Er said: "This is more discerning. The student will present it in detail, and only ask the Taifu teacher to make the decision." After finishing speaking, he went home to make the presentation.His uncle, Zhao Linshu, said: "Brother-in-law, that's not how I said it. It was clearly done by the uncle. He came back with Xue Flake's documents. Why is my brother-in-law entangled himself? Why don't you just make a report honestly?" , Said that the uncle is now in Nanjing, and asked him to go to Nanjing to be imprisoned, and his brother-in-law ended up clean. Here, "the baby does not cry and the milk does not swell", why do you drag other people's coffins to cry at your door?" Mr. Yu Er said: "Uncle, I have my own ideas about my brothers' affairs. Don't worry about me." Zhao Linshu said, "It's not like I don't say anything. Your uncle has a bad temper and offended many people. Just like Renchang Dianfang In the third room, in the sixth room of Renda Dian Fang, there are all the squires who clank in our five-door and four-closed rooms. The county princes are the same as them, and your uncle wants to offend him with words. It is these two days, Second Master Fang We are in-laws in the fifth room of Peng Xiangshen's family. The fifth master is a new scholar. I heard that the prince is a matchmaker, and the day he chose is the third day of the first lunar month. They must mention this matter during the banquet, and Peng Laowu should not say it clearly It's not good for you to hurt your brother, as long as you reveal your intentions, the prince will understand. At that time, the prince started to do evil, but he said that you are hiding brother, brother-in-law, so you can't hold back! Still follow my words." Mr. Yu Er said: "Let me hand over another report. If there is urgent urging, it will not be too late to say it." Zhao Linshu said: "If not, you can go to Tuo Tuo Peng Lao Wu." Mr. Yu Er laughed: "Just take it easy." Zhao Linshu Seeing that he didn't believe it, he went back.

Mr. Yu Er went to the county with a petition.According to his letter, the county replied: According to the Guizhou Customs Transfer Case, "The key criminal, Yu Chi, is a Wuhe tribute student. He is middle-aged, white-faced, and slightly bearded. He is about fifty years old. On the eighth day of April, he had a conversation with Fengying at the Chenghuang Temple residence in Wuwei Prefecture, private and human life. , followed by entering the state government office on the 11th and said. After the confession was recorded in the state trial on the 16th, Fengying prepared a banquet and sent it to the Town God's Temple. Fengying gave out a total of 400 taels of stolen silver, which was shared equally among the three, and the rest got the stolen goods One hundred and thirty-three taels and zero. On the 28th, I bid farewell to the prefectural office and returned to my hometown in Wuhe from Nanjing. The stolen evidence is convincing, why should I deny that there is no such person? It is a matter of constitutional matters, and human life is important..." Wait for the county.Approved, the county immediately sent the owner to the case. According to the confession: Yu Chi, a student, has numbness in the body and a slight beard. He is forty-four years old. He is a student of the granary and has never paid tribute.On the eighth day of the fourth month of this year, Xuexian came to Fengyang, held incense on the ninth day, hung cards on the tenth day, and took the eighth student examination on the eleventh day. Send admission.Yu Chi entered the hospital for a re-examination the next day, and he came in first and second.On the 24th, I will send to school and start my horse, and return to my hometown to study.An Neng is taking the Fengyang scientific examination, but also cheating in Wuwei State?The county took a statement, and then took this school book for a paired examination. The Health Commission was in the Fengyang Science Examination, and it had never been fraudulent, so it is inconvenient to send it away.I'm afraid it's a bachelor from a foreign country who pretends to be a surname, so it's reasonable to return to the Ming Dynasty according to the facts, and another review will conclude.

This document was sent back, and it will not be mentioned there again.Mr. Yu Er fell to the ground with a stone and wrote a letter to invite brother to come back.When Mr. Da came back, he asked about these things in detail, and said, "It's all a waste of brother's heart." Then he asked, "How much money did the yamen use to make money?" Mr. Er said, "I still ask him why I said that." ? The silver brought by brother, it is right to take care of it and bury it." A few days later, the two brothers discussed that they were going to worship Fengshui Zhang Yunfeng.It happened that one of my family members came to treat me to a drink. They paid homage to Zhang Yunfeng and went there for the banquet.No outsiders were invited there, but his two first cousins: one named Yu Fu and the other named Yu Yin.Seeing the elder brother and the second elder brother coming, the two hurriedly bowed to each other, sat down with each other, and asked about the outside road.Yu Fu said: "Today, Wang's parents are having wine at Peng Lao Er's house." The host sat down and said, "I haven't come here yet. The yin and yang students just took the post." When I heard that when he resigned from the court the day before yesterday, he didn't reply well, and the court patted him on the body." Mr. Yu Da laughed and said: "He didn't say anything bad, but the emperor left He is also far away, how can I pat him by myself?" Yu Yin blushed and said: "But otherwise, he is now an official, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and with Zuo Chunfang, he has to stand in the court hall every day Discuss in the Nuan Pavilion. His words are not good, why didn't the court shoot him! Are you afraid of offending him?" The master sat down and said: "Brother came to Nanjing the day before yesterday, and heard that Yin Tianfu Yin has entered Beijing?" Mr. Yu Da also said He didn't agree, Yu Fu said: "This matter is also done by Mr. Peng. That day the court asked Ying Tianfu if he should change? Mr. Peng wanted to recommend his Tang Zuo of the same year, so he said that he should change, and he refused to offend the government. Yin, Qingqing wrote a letter and brought it here, and asked Fu Yin to invite your Majesty to see him, so he went to Beijing." Mr. Yu Er said: "The Imperial Academy's yamen doesn't care about the replacement of the big bureaucrats. Indeed." Yu Yin said: "This is what Wang's parents said at the benevolence ceremony the day before yesterday when they had a drink at the Ren Da Ceremony, how can it be incorrect!" After finishing speaking, serve the wine.Nine plates: one plate of stir-fried pork with green cauliflower, one plate of fried crucian carp, one plate of fried chicken with noodles, one plate of spread eggs, one plate of fried shrimp with green onions, one plate of melon seeds, one plate of ginseng fruit, one plate of pomegranate rice, and one plate of tofu Dry.Put on boiling hot bottled wine.

After eating for a while, the master went in and took out a red cloth bag containing some pieces of soil, tied with a rope with a red head, and said to Yu Fu and Yu Yin, "I invite two virtuous brothers to come today to see the soil on this mountain." Color, I don’t know if it’s available?” Mr. Yu Er said, “When was the ground broken on the mountain?” The host said, “It was the day before yesterday.” Yu Fu was about to open it and take out the soil, when Yu Yin snatched it and said, “Let’s see. "Pi hand snatched it, took out a piece of soil and put it in front of him, tilted his head to the right and looked at it for a while, then tilted his head to the left and looked at it for a while, took a piece of soil with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and tilted his mouth Chewing.After chewing for a long time, he handed a large piece of soil to Yu Fu and said, "Fourth brother, do you think this soil is good?" Yu Fu took the soil in his hand, held it under the lamp, turned it over and looked at the front Yes, turned it over and looked at the other side for a while, then pinched a piece of soil and put it in his mouth, with his mouth and eyes closed, chewing slowly.After chewing for half a day, he opened his eyes, held the soil up to his nose and smelled it.After smelling it for a long time, he said: "This soil is really not good." The master panicked and said, "Can this land be buried?" Yu Yin said: "This land cannot be buried, and your family will be poor if you are buried!"

Mr. Yu Da said: "I haven't been at home for more than ten years. I don't want the two virtuous brothers to be so good at geography." There is nothing to refute!" Mr. Yu Da said: "Which mountain is this land just now?" Mr. Yu Er pointed to the master and said, "Is it the grave of the fourth uncle of my virtuous brother's family who are negotiating to relocate?" Mr. Yu Da asked Donated: "The fourth uncle has been buried for more than 20 years, and the family is still safe, so there is no need to move." Yu Yin said: "Brother, where did this come from! There is a puddle of water in his grave, a bag Ants. A man who is a son puts his father in a water nest or an ant nest, and he still becomes a man if he doesn't get up?" Mr. Yu Da asked, "Where is the new place we are looking for now?" Yu Yin said: "This place yesterday We didn’t look for it, we found a piece of land in Sanjiao Peak. I’ll tell the situation to my elder brother.” Yin removed two plates from the table, dipped his finger in the bottle of wine, and drew a circle on the table , pointed and said: "Brother, look, this is the three sharp peaks. It is a long way from there, starting from Pukou Mountain, one pier, one cannon; one pier, one cannon; one pier, one cannon; winding, Gululu rolled all the way. Rolling to Zhoujiagang in the county, the dragon body fell across the gorge, another pier, a cannon, and dozens of cannons rushed over to form a acupuncture point. This acupuncture point is called 'The lotus blossoms out of the water'." Just as he was talking, the servant brought five bowls of noodles.The master asked everyone to use vinegar, and piled a lot of the stir-fried meat with green vegetables on the top of the noodle bowl, and everyone lifted it up to eat.Yu Yin ate about the same, picked two noodles, made a dragon on the table, opened his eyes and said: "I want to have a champion here. It doesn't count if you are buried and won the second place. Gouged out both of my eyes!" The host said: "The land will be buried naturally?" Yu Fu said: "Why not? It will be released! Don't wait for three or five years!" Yu Yin said "It's about to die! You won't know until you're buried." Mr. Yu Da said: "The day before yesterday I heard some friends in Nanjing say that as long as the parents are buried in a safe place, it is very unlikely that the offspring will prosper." Yu Fu said "But it's not. Parents are safe, how can the children and grandchildren be sent?" Yu Yin said: "But it's not. In the grave in Peng's house, a dragon's claw happened to rest on his grandfather's left arm, so Peng's fourth son had it the other day. This shot. Isn’t it a dragon’s claw? Brother, if you don’t believe me, I’ll go to his grave with you tomorrow and you’ll find out.” After eating a few more cups, they got up together and said hello, and the boy sent a lantern to the rest of the room. Go home alley, each go home to rest. The next day Mr. Da discussed with Mr. Er: "What is the truth of what those two brothers said yesterday?" Mr. Er said: "They only said nice things, but after all it is learning without a teacher, we should ask Zhang Yunfeng to discuss it. Mr. Da said: "This is the most reasonable." The next day, the two brothers prepared a meal and invited Zhang Yunfeng to come.Zhang Yunfeng said: "I usually rely on the honor of the two gentlemen for everything. The two gentlemen have entrusted me with the important affairs of the Ritai master. Why don't you do your best?" Mr. Da said: "My brother is a poor man, and Mr. Meng Yunfeng loves him so much. I'm disrespectful, but I hope you will forgive me." Mr. Er said: "We just need to take care of our parents, and now, please come to Yun Weng, there is no need to talk about getting rich and expensive, as long as the ground is dry and warm, there is no wind and no ants, we foolish brothers I can’t thank you enough.” Zhang Yunfeng took orders one by one, and after a few days, he found a piece of land next to the ancestral grave, Mr. Yu Da and Mr. Yu Er went to the mountain with Zhang Yunfeng, restored the land himself, and entrusted the ancestral grave to the owner of the mountain. I bought it with twenty taels of silver and asked Zhang Yunfeng to choose a date. The date has not yet been chosen, and there was nothing to do that day, Mr. Da bought two catties of wine, ordered six or seven plates, and planned to talk to the old brothers by themselves.In the evening of the next day, the fourth son of Yu on the street wrote a post, writing: Bozhi Garden Vegetables tonight, please invite your two cousins ​​to Huangzhai for a talk, not to mention the lotus.Yu Liang nodded.Mr. Yu Da looked at the young man and said, "I see. I worship your master, and we'll come." He sent out the door, and then a man from Suchuan, who runs a bad shop here, sent someone to invite two of his brothers. One went to the distillery to take a bath.Mr. Da said to Mr. Er: "This friend Ling's house invited us, and he thought he had wine to eat. Now we disturb Ling Feng's house, and then go to Cousin Yu's house." The two brothers came to Ling's house together, As soon as I entered the door, I heard a commotion inside.But the Ling family hired two big-footed women from the village because they were with the guests, and the master stole them with him.The custom in Wuhe is that everyone has to sleep with the hired big-footed lady.Not afraid of wine being placed in the open hall, when everyone mentions this, they all laugh with their eyes open, rejoicing and not ashamed.The two women of the Ling family were suspicious of each other, you suspected that I got too much money from the master, and I suspected that you got too much money from the master, they were jealous and quarreled.And everyone moved the last, saying that they stole the shop officials in the shop, and the shop palace also quarreled with them, smashing the bowls, cups and plates in the kitchen, and stretched out their big feet to take the bath. The pots and buckets were overturned, and the two gentlemen of the Yu family couldn't drink or take a bath. Instead, they talked and persuaded for a long time, and then resigned their masters and came out.The master is embarrassed, and he will accuse him thousands of times, and he will ask him another day. The two gentlemen walked out of Ling's house and went to Yu's house.The banquet at Yu's family was over, and the door was closed.Mr. Yu Da said with a smile: "Second brother, let's go home and eat our own wine." The second Mr. laughed, and when Tong Ge arrived at home, he told him to bring out the wine and eat.I don't want to think that the two catties of wine and six plates have already been eaten by the ladies, and there is only an empty pot and plates left there.Mr. Da said: "Today I have three places to drink, but I can't eat one. It can be seen that a drink and a peck are not predetermined." The two brothers laughed and ate some small dishes for dinner and cups of tea, and went to each other's room to rest. Sleeping until the fourth watch, there was a lot of shouting outside the door, and the two brothers woke up together. Seeing the red outside the window, they knew that there was a fire at the opposite door.He hurriedly put on his clothes and came out, called the neighbors, and moved the coffin of his parents to the street.The fire burned two houses and was rescued by dawn.The coffin is in the street.Wuhe custom says that when the coffin is carried out, if it is brought in again, it will be poor. So all the relatives and friends who came to see it said that they should take it to the mountain and choose a day for burial. Mr. Da said to Mr. Er: When people bury their parents, they should sue the temple in a serious manner, prepare for the funeral, and invite relatives and friends to the funeral. How could it be so hasty! According to my opinion, the coffin should still be brought into the middle hall, and the funeral will be held on a certain day." Mr. Er said: " There is no need to say that if you want to die poor, it will be my two brothers who will suffer." At that moment, the crowd refused to listen to their persuasion, they summoned all the people, and invited the coffin into the middle hall.Waiting for Zhang Yunfeng to choose a day to go out and return to the funeral, it is very polite.On that day, there were many people attending the funeral in Hexian County, and a few people came from Tianzhang Du's house.Since then, a big news has been spread throughout the five gates and four gates, saying: The two brothers of the Yu family have become more and more foolish, and they have done such an unlucky thing!Because of this, there are different teachings:
