Chapter 48 The forty-seventh chapter of Yu Xiucai rebuilt the Yuanwu Pavilion, and the salt merchants made a big disturbance in the festival filial piety temple

By the way, Yu Huaxuan is also an extraordinary person.He has been a child prodigy since he was seven or eight years old.Later, all the books in the classics and history collections have not been read, all of them are exquisite, and all of them are not thorough.When he was in his twenties, he had completed his studies. He knew everything about soldiers, agriculture, rites, music, engineering, danger, water, and fire from the beginning to the end. .What's more, his great-grandfather was Shangshu, his ancestor was Hanlin, and his father was a prefect, so he was truly a master.But even though he has a lot of knowledge, Wuhe people don't allow him to speak.

In Wuhe's custom, when talking about that person's moral character, he would smile with his mouth crooked; when talking about the aristocratic family in the past few decades, he would smile through his nose, and if he said that person could compose poems and prose, he would smile with his eyebrows. Ask about the mountains and rivers in Wuhe County, and there is a gentleman named Peng; ask about the strange things produced in Wuhe County, and there is a gentleman named Peng; , is to flatter Peng Xiangshou: ask who is talented, is to flatter Peng Xiangsquire.But there is another thing that people are still afraid of, which is being in-laws with the Fang family in Huizhou;

Yu Huaxuan was born in this vulgar place, guarding a few acres of farmland, and couldn't go anywhere else, so he became angry.His father, the prefect, was an upright official, and he had a hard life when he was in office.Yu Huaxuan lived frugally at home and accumulated a few taels of silver.At this time, the prefect announces that he is always at home and does not care about housework.Yu Huaxuan saved up a few taels of silver every year, and then called the land sellers to come and say they wanted to buy fields and houses.The talk is about the same, and they scolded those people again, not buying it, so that they can be happy.People in the whole county said that he was a bit phlegmatic, and after all they were greedy for a few taels of silver from him, so they came to make out with him.

This old man is a businessman. That day he asked the housekeeper to invite the uncle to come. He sat down in the study and said, "Now there is a field near me. The flood and drought are not good, and the annual harvest is 600 stones of rice. He It requires two thousand taels of silver. Fang Liufang wanted to buy it from him the other day, and he has already planned to sell it to him, but those peasants refused." Yu Huaxuan said, "Why didn't the peasants agree?" Old father Cheng said, "The peasants went to the farm because of Fang's family. When the master went to the countryside, he asked the farmer to prepare an incense case to welcome him, and he had to hit the board when he owed the rent, so he refused to sell it to him." Yu Huaxuan said: "If you don't sell it to him, you want to sell it to me. I went to the countryside to set up a bad case? If you don't beat him, will he still beat me?" Father Cheng said: "That's not what I said. It is said that your uncle is magnanimous, not as mean as they are, and now it's just a matter of money. I don't know if your money is ready?" Yu Huaxuan said: " Why isn't my silver readily available? Ask the boy to bring it out for the old man to see." Then he asked the boy to bring out thirty ingots of big ingots, and looked at the table.The ingot rolled around on the table, and Father Cheng's eyes just followed the ingot.Yu Huaxuan told him to take the money away, and said to Father Cheng, "Aren't I lying about my money? You can go to the countryside and tell me. Come on, I'll buy his money." Father Cheng said, "I'm still delaying here. It took a few days to get there." Yu Huaxuan said, "What business does father have?" The successful father said: "Tomorrow, I will go to Wang's parents to lead my aunt's filial piety, and pay money and food by the way; the day after tomorrow will be Peng's second son's. Little Ling'ai is ten years old, and she wants to go there to celebrate her birthday; the next day, I will be invited to lunch in Fang Liufang, and I have to go down if I disturb him." Yu Huaxuan chuckled: "That's all." Dad ate lunch, took the silver from the archway and paid for the food.

Yu Huaxuan asked the boy to invite Tang San Tan over.This Tang San Tan because Fang's family usually invites wine and meals, and only invites his elder brother to raise people. If he is not invited, he will inquire: Fang's family invited people that day, and who they invited, he knows all about it. , very true.Yu Huaxuan was aware of his problem, so he found him that day, and said to him: "Take your troubles to find out, can you invite a successful father in the sixth room of Renchang Dianfang in the future? The inquiry is indeed here, I will prepare a meal for you the day after tomorrow." Tang San promised, went to inquire for a long time and came back and said: "There is no such thing, no one is invited in the sixth room of Fanghou Japan." Yu Huaxuan said: "Wonderful! Wonderful! You come to my place early tomorrow morning to eat for a day." Sending Tang San away.Ask the servant to quietly ask the officer in the incense wax shop to write a red slip, which reads "Have a light drink at noon on the 18th" and writes "Fang Piao pauses his head".Get it in a bag, put it in a sign, and ask someone to send it to the desk in the room where Father Cheng sleeps.

Father Cheng paid the money and food, came back at night and saw the post, and said happily in his heart: "My old man is lucky! He told a lie by chance, and it happened to be this day!" He fell asleep happily.On the eighteenth day, Tang San's phlegm came early in the morning.Yu Huaxuan invited Father Cheng to sit in the living room, and saw servants coming in from the gate one by one, one carrying wine, one carrying chickens and ducks, one carrying fish and hooves, one carrying four bags of fruit, one Holding a large plate of Rouxin Shaomai, they all went to the kitchen.Father Cheng knew that he was preparing wine today, so he didn't ask him.Yu Huaxuan asked Tang San, "Have you ever told the carpenters and bricklayers about the repair of the Yuanwu Pavilion?" Tang San said, "I've said it. The work and materials are costly. His outer wall has collapsed and needs to be rebuilt." , and to repair a platform foundation, bricklayers need two or three months, and carpenters don’t know how much they need to replace beams and columns and nail rafters inside. But when repairing houses, bricklayers and carpenters only do part-time work. They only say three hundred, and they may not want It takes more than five hundred silver to repair it." Father Cheng said: "Yuanwu Pavilion was built by the ancestors, but it was a county-level feng shui. Now that Kejia is in Peng's house, it should be repaired by his family with money. , your family has nothing to do with it, and you just need to pay the money?" Yu Huaxuan cupped his hands and said, "That's fine. Father Fei would like to tell his family to help me with a few taels of money. Father Cheng said: "I'll talk about it. Although there are many officials in his family and he is very bold, but my old man still believes me a word or two." The Yu family servant quietly called another from the back door. The grass seller gave him four dollars, told him to turn in from the gate and said, "Father Cheng, I'm from Master Fang Liu's family. Please come over and wait." Father Cheng said: " I worship your lord, and I will come." The grass seller left.

Father Cheng resigned from his master and came to Renchangdian all the way, and the doorman passed it in.The master Fang Laoliu came out to meet, bowed and sat down.Fang Laoliu asked: "When did Dad come up?" He agreed: "In Yu Hua's hometown." The servant brought tea and ate.Father Cheng said: "The weather is good today." Fang Laoliu said: "Exactly." Yes, nothing to say.After eating tea for a while, Father Cheng said: "Tai Zun has never been to the county these days. If he still comes to the county, he must first go to the sixth master's house. Tai Zun and the sixth master get along so well, it is incomparable. Others. In fact, the Grand Master Hexian also respects the Sixth Master, and there is a second squire who comes over to the Sixth Master!" Fang Laoliu said: "The new inspector is here, and the Grand Master is probably here. It's time to come down to the county." Father Cheng said: "That's right." After sitting for a while, and having another cup of tea, he didn't see a single guest, nor did he see a banquet. Father Cheng was puzzled, and was hungry again. , I had to say goodbye and see what he said.Because got up and said: "I don't pass the sixth master." Fang Laoliu also stood up and said: "Sit still."

Father Cheng walked out of the gate, groping his head, thinking to himself: "Could it be that I came too early?" And then thinking: "Could it be that he blamed me for something?" And then thinking: "Could it be that I read the post by mistake?" Suspicious .Then he thought to himself: "Yu Huaxuan's family has ready-made wine and rice, let's go to his house to eat and have dinner again." He walked all the way back to Yu's house. Yu Huaxuan set up a table in the study, with Tang Santan, Yao Laowu and his two relatives, laying out five or six bowls of piping hot delicacies, eating in a happy place.Seeing Father Cheng come in, they all stood up.Yu Huaxuan said: "Father Cheng turned his back on us, and came here after eating the good food from Fang's family, so happy!" Then he called: "Hurry up and take a chair to sit with Father Cheng, and make some old tea that is easy to digest. Come and eat with Father Cheng." The servant put a chair on it far away, and invited Father Cheng to sit.The covered bowls of old tea, one on the left and one on the right, were brought to Father Cheng.The more Mr. Cheng ate, the hungrier he became, and his stomach felt unspeakably bitter.Seeing them put big fat pieces of meat, ducks, and foot fish in their mouths, I was so angry that I burst into the top door.They ate until late, and Dad Cheng was hungry until late.After he saw off the guests, they all dispersed, so he quietly went to the butler's room and asked for a bowl of fried rice, soaked it and ate it.Went into the room and went to sleep, and stayed angry all night on the bed.The next day, he resigned from Yu Huaxuan and wanted to go to the countryside and go home.Yu Huaxuan asked, "When will Daddy come?" Father Cheng said, "If Tian's business is all right, I'll come up; if Tian's business is not right, I'll just wait until the day when my aunt enters the filial piety shrine." Let's say goodbye.

One day, when Yu Huaxuan had nothing to do at home, Tang Er Bangzhui came up and said, "Lao Hua, the person surnamed Ji the day before yesterday came out of the Taizun's mansion and lived in the official monk's house in Baolin Temple. Fang Lao Liu and Peng Lao Er would both know about it." It's true!" Yu Hua said: "It was you who said it wasn't the day before yesterday, and it was you who said it was true today. Isn't that all? You have never met Taizun before, so you have to pay homage to this brother Ji in the mansion, and take me to meet Taizun, is it feasible?" Yu Huaxuan said: "This is also possible." After a few days, I hired two sedan chairs to go together Come to Fengyang.When I arrived at Yali, I posted a post.Yu Huaxuan sent another post to pay respects to Ji Weixiao.Yali accepted the post, came back and said: "Mr. Ji has gone to Yangzhou, and my grandfather has invited you." The two went in together and met in the study.After the Taizun came out, both of them lived in Dongtou.Tai Zun invites dinner with a post.Tang Er Bangzhui said to Yu Huaxuan: "Tai Zun invites us tomorrow, none of us will sit down and wait for him from afar. Tomorrow, I will sit with you at Longxing Temple at the gate of the mansion so that he can invite us. Let's go in." Yu Huaxuan smiled and said, "Forget it."

After lunch the next day, I went to a monk's house in Longxing Temple to sit together, and only heard a monk's house next door singing and singing.Tang Erbang said: "It's very nice to sing, I'll go over and have a look." After looking at it for a while, he was downcast and complained to Yu Huaxuan: "I fell for you! Who did you think the blower was? The young master Fang Laoliu of Renchang Dian in my county and Mr. Li Taizun prepared a very neat table, and each of them hugged an actor and played there. They are so close to each other, I should only have Fang Laoliu here the day before yesterday. If they are together When he came, he was already sitting with the young master. Now that he is with you, even though he looks too respectful, what's the point of being a tent with a veiled lining?" Yu Huaxuan said, "You said it all, and I'm I never forced you to come here. He is here now, you followed him!" Tang Erbang said: "We are not friends, and I will go to the yamen with you to have a drink." Saying that, someone from the yamen came out Invitation, two people go into the Yamen.The Taizun met, said a lot of words of admiration, and asked: "When will the county's filial piety enter the temple? I'd like to appoint officials to come down to offer sacrifices." The two replied: "I have set a date when I go back, and I must have an invitation to invite the grandpa. Ancestor." After eating, he said goodbye and came out.The next day, he resigned with the post and went back to the county.

On the second day when Yu Huaxuan arrived at home, Mr. Yu Da said: "The festival of filial piety enters the temple on the third day of the first lunar month. There are several uncles, aunts, and aunts in our family. All the members of the clan were sent to the ancestral hall. The two of us went out to spread the word." Yu Huaxuan said: "Why don't you say this! There is one in the humble house and two in the Zunfu. There are a total of 140 to 50 people in the two gentry houses. We are all together, and we went to the entrance of the ancestral hall together, and we all wore official uniforms to welcome the person in charge, which is also the atmosphere of everyone." Mr. Yu Da said: "I will pass on my family's, and you will pass on yours." Yu Huaxuan went to my home for a date, and was so angry that he didn't fall asleep all night when he came back.Mr. Yu Da came in early in the morning, staring with white eyes angrily, and asked: "Cousin, how about the family you passed on?" Yu Huaxuan said: "Exactly, how is your cousin's passing on? Why are you so angry?" Yu Huaxuan said Mr. Da said: "Don't talk about it again! I'll go and tell the Han family that it doesn't matter if he doesn't come, and they all tell me that when the old lady of the Fang family enters the temple, they will go to accompany the sacrifice, and if they even drag me, I will go too." .I told them, and they still laughed at me when I recited the old words. You said that you would be so mad!" Yu Huaxuan laughed and said: "The same is true for the Han family. I stayed with them all night. I will prepare a sacrifice table tomorrow. Take my uncle and grandma, don't make an appointment with them." Mr. Yu Da said: "I have no choice but to do so." It was agreed. On the third day of junior high school, Yu Huaxuan changed into new clothes and hat, and asked the boy to pick out the sacrificial table, and went to the eighth room of his family.When I entered the door, I saw it was deserted and deserted, and there was not a single guest.The cousin in the eighth room is a poor scholar. He wears a torn turban and old rags, and he comes out to bow to him.Yu Huaxuan went in to pay homage to his great-uncle's god-master, and asked him to lift up the car.His family rented a dilapidated pavilion, two shoulder poles, which were carried crookedly by four villagers, and there were no deacons.The four blowers in front of the pavilion carried them to the street, blowing dripping beating.Yu Huaxuan and his cousin followed and went to rest at the gate of the ancestral hall.From a distance, there were also two dilapidated pavilions, and there were no blowers. Mr. Yu Da and Mr. Er brothers followed and carried them to the gate of the temple to rest. The four met and bowed to each other.I saw lamps hanging on the Zunjing Pavilion in front of the gate of the ancestral hall, colorful pieces hanging, and banquets set up.The pavilion covers the south pole and is very tall, and it is in the middle of the street, so it can be seen in all directions.The actor went up with a load of boxes, and the man who carried the pavilion said: "Master Fang's actor is here!" After standing for a while, he heard three gunshots from the west gate, and the man who carried the pavilion said: "The old lady of the Fang family is up!" In a short while, the street was full of gongs, drums and music, two yellow umbrellas, eight flags, and four teams kicking street horses. "And the number" was a gift from the Yu and Yu families.After the deacon passed, the waist gong was blown immediately, and the stove was lifted, surrounded by the old lady's pavilion, supported by eight big-footed women.Master Fang Six, with a gauze cap and round collar, followed behind the pavilion.There are two groups of guests in the back: one is the country gentry, and the other is the scholar.The squires are Mr. Peng Er, Mr. Peng San, Mr. Peng Wu, and Mr. Peng Qi. The rest are Juren, Jinshi, Gongsheng, and Jiansheng from the Yu and Yu families. There are sixty or seventy of them in total. Walk.The first class is Yu and Yu's scholars, and there are also sixty or seventy people, wearing torn clothes and headscarves, rushing away in a panic.The last one of the squires is Tang Erbangzhui, holding a book in his hand to keep accounts, and the last scholar is Tang San Tan, who holds a book in his hand to keep accounts.After all, the Yu and Yu families are poets and ceremonies, and they are still kind. When they walked to the front of the ancestral hall, they saw the pavilion of their own family, and seven or eight people came over to make a bow, and they all surrounded the pavilion of Mrs. Fang and entered the ancestral temple went.Then came the magistrate, the teacher, the history of the classics, and the general manager, who were appointed as deacons.Chuida Anwei is the magistrate's sacrifice, the scholar's sacrifice, the history ceremony, the head general's sacrifice, the squire's sacrifice, the scholar's sacrifice, and the owner's family's own sacrifice.After the sacrifice, the gentlemen rushed out, and they all went to the Zunjing Pavilion for the banquet. Here, the pavilion was carried in and its seat was installed after the crowd dispersed.The Yu family also had a sacrificial table prepared by Huaxuan, and the Yu family only had a pair of three animals prepared by Mr. Da, which were also sacrificed.Lifted the sacrificial table and came out, there was no place to disperse blessings, so I planned to borrow a doorman to sit down.Mr. Yu Da looked up at the embroidered clothes and red shoes on the Zunjing Pavilion, and the cups and cups were intertwined.Master Fang Liu saluted once, became more restrained, removed his gauze cap and round collar, changed into casual clothes with a square scarf, and wandered between the corridors of the pavilion.Then there was a flower toothwoman, surnamed Quan, with big feet, who came up to the pavilion, laughed and said, "I'll see the old lady enter the temple!" Look at the deacon from the railing.Master Fang Liu was good at pointing out cases one by one and told him to listen.Holding on to the railing with one hand, the saleswoman opened her trouser waist with the other to catch lice. She caught them and put them into her mouth one by one. Seeing this scene, Mr. Yu Da looked down on him, and said: "Cousin, we don't sit here and eat wine anymore, carry the sacrificial table to your house, and I will sit at your house with my sister-in-law. Don't see these provocative things!" He asked to pick up the sacrificial table and walk away.Four or five of him walked all the way.On the street, Mr. Yu Da said: "Cousin, in our county, all the etiquette, justice, integrity and shame have all been wiped out! It's also because there is no good official among the school officials. If it is placed with Dr. Yu in Nanjing, how can such a thing be done!" Yu Yu Mr. Er said: "Looking at Dr. Yu's behavior, he doesn't want to forbid people to do anything. It's just that he has been virtuous. Naturally, people can't do indecent things." The brothers of the Yu family sighed together. We went home together, ate wine and parted ways. At this time, the construction of Yuanwu Pavilion had already started, and Yu Huaxuan went to supervise the repairs every day.When I came back that night, Father Cheng was sitting in the study.Yu Huaxuan bowed to him, took some tea and ate, and asked, "Why didn't daddy come when I entered the ancestral temple the day before last?" Cheng said, "I'm going to be there that day. I'm sick and I haven't come before." Yes. My younger brother went to the countryside. It was said to be very lively. The deacons of Fang's mansion lined up for half a street, and the princes and people from Peng's mansion were there to see them off. Everyone came to see it and said, "If it wasn't for Fangfu, how could such a big event be done!" You naturally favored me to eat wine in the pavilion." Yu Huaxuan said: "Father, you don't know that I will send you off that day. Uncle and grandmother in the eighth room of my family?" Father Cheng sneered and said, "In your eighth room, the poor family has legs and no pants, and your own family, who is willing to go to him? Even your words are coaxing me, you must It’s for Mrs. Fang.” Yu Huaxuan said: “This matter is over, so I don’t need to go into details.” After dinner, Father Cheng said: “The sellers and middlemen of the subfields have all come to the county and live in Bao’an County. Lin Temple. If you want his land, it can be done tomorrow." Yu Huaxuan said: "I want it." Father Cheng said: "There is another saying, the land is all up to me, I want to be in The 'bearer' who hit fifty taels of silver in the middle will be removed from you and given to me; I have to go over there to ask for money." Yu Huaxuan said: "Why don't you say that, dad is an ingot." At the moment Explain clearly the rent, the price, the silver, the silver, the chicken, the grass, the small rent, the wine, the calligraphy, and the landlord. Father Cheng invited the seller and the middleman to sit in the hall of Yu's house early in the morning.Father Cheng comes in and asks the uncle to come out and make a contract.When I walked into the study, I saw many carpenters and bricklayers receiving money there.Yu Huaxuan held as many as fifty taels of silver in his hands, and scattered hundreds of taels in an hour.Father Cheng saw that he was done, and told him to go out and get a contract.Yu Huaxuan opened his eyes and said, "That land is expensive! I don't want it!" Father Cheng was frightened into a fool.Yu Huaxuan said: "Father, I really don't want it anymore." Then he told the boy: "Go to the hall and drive away the mud legs in that village for me!" A villager has gone.Because of this, there are different teachings:
