Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen: Xue Baoqin Visits Qingniang in Taoyuan, Shi Xiangyun saves Zhang Sheng
But Xue Baochai came up with a plan, and everyone hurriedly asked what the plan was, Baochai said: "The queen of the strong woman country, the White Snake, is really powerful. In the past, when the knight-errant country and the knight-errant country competed, Zhan Xiongfei and the white lady fought to a draw. I thought, why not invite the White Snake, but the White Snake is cautious and will not send troops easily, I think there is only one person who can persuade the White Snake."
Everyone asked who it was.
Baochai said: "Miss White has a younger sister named Qing Niangzi, who is also skilled in martial arts, no less than her elder sister. It turns out that the two sisters live together in the country of Xia Nv, just because Qing Niangzi met Mr. Tao Yuanming, and the old Mr. Tao was very talkative. It's amazing, and I was so excited when I said that the young lady was willing to be Mr. Tao's concubine, so she married to Taohuayuan. When the white lady saw that she couldn't keep it, she lived a chivalrous life alone. The white lady had high eyes, Most men looked down on her, so she didn't get married for a long time, thinking that when she came to this country of strong women, she was snatched by the Chinese to become the queen. This time, she must have taken a fancy to Hong Bo when she was recruited to be the queen; but Hong Bo's loyalty to love hurt her self-esteem. "
Hong Bo hurriedly said, "I don't have any intention of molesting Lady Bai."
Baochai said: "My sister understands Mr. Chen's intentions; but as things stand today, I have to ask Mr. Chen to hide for a few days first."
Daiyu said: "That's easy, let's stay in my Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a while." Baoqin said: "No, sister Daiyu is not in good health. Mr. Chen may hurt you again if you go, so why don't you stay with my sister for a while?" Good day."
Baochai said: "Okay, come and live in my Hengwu courtyard for a few days. My room is rich and Xiangling will take care of you."
Qin Keqing asked: "Then who will invite Young Lady?"
Baoqin said: "I have acquaintance with Qing Niangzi once. When Shangxia Nvguo was a guest, we lived in her house. We are very close, so we became sisters. I will invite her, and she will definitely come."
Li Wan said: "How far is Taoyuan Village from here?"
Baoqin said: "For more than sixty miles, I can take a carriage, at most one day, and I can arrive tonight."
Zhao Momo said: "I heard people say that the girl Qing Niangzi gave birth to a white and fat boy for old man Tao. Her mother-in-law is very powerful. Can you let her out?"
Baoqin said: "I have my own way, okay, without delay, let Jiao Da drive me the car."
After finishing speaking, he went to the front yard to summon Jiao Da, put on the carriage, and bid farewell to everyone.
It was the third watch when everyone sent Baoqin away, and they were about to go back to rest when they suddenly saw a person coming from Zijuan. Everyone saw that it was the thirteenth sister.
Seeing her face dripping with sweat, everyone hurriedly asked about Jiuxiangyuan.
The thirteenth sister said: "Baoyu, Xianglian and You Sanjie were hanged in the backyard by them. I just found out the whereabouts of the tripwire. The tripwire was passed down by Guiguzi. But Guiguzi's disappearance is uncertain now, but Guiguzi took the tripwire. It is rumored that there are two people, one is Zhan Xiongfei, and the other is Cui Yingying's husband Zhang Junrui."
Qin Keqing said: "Zhan Junrui and Zhan Xiongfei are brothers, why are they willing to help me?"
Jia Yingchun said: "Although Zhang Junrui and Zhan Xiongfei are classmates, they may not necessarily go the same way. Hasn't my sister-in-law heard the story of Sun Bin and Pang Juan?"
Jia Xichun said: "Where does Zhang Junrui live? Who can invite him?"
Shi Xiangyun bit his lower lip tightly and said, "It seems that I am the only one going now."
Everyone asked why.
She said: "Although Zhang Junrui is talented in literature, but he is good at climbing flowers and breaking willows, it is not considered that Cui Yingying married him, and later married Cui Yingying's maid, Hongniang, as a concubine. Now the three of them live in Pujiu Temple and built a garden. It's called Yingyingyuan. I met Zhang Junrui in the Mingliguo examination room last time. He pestered me, but I slapped him in the face. Last time at the Palace Flower Festival in the Palace Flower Kingdom, my girlfriend, Matchmaker, and Fan Lihua, Hongyue'e, etc. were enjoying the flowers at night, and happened to meet Yan Shifan in the carnival garden, with Pan Jinlian, Li Ping'er and the house slaves, who were chasing Cui Yingying. We rescued Yingying, and Yingying is very grateful to us, but until now, I’m the only one who made the trip. The Pujiu Temple is also eighty or ninety miles away from the Red Mansion Country, in the northwest of the Red Mansion Country, I’ll go there on horseback, and I’ll be back at night.”
Xiangyun dressed up, picked a green-headed lion horse from the stable, and rode on to Pujiu Temple.After Xiangyun left, Baochai said, "I just don't know how bad or good the wine fragrance garden is. Why don't I go and find out." Then Qingwen was going too, so Baochai had to take her there, and they went away pretending to be singing girls.
But it is said that Xue Baoqin traveled eastward in the carriage driven by Jiao Da, passed through the country of talented men, the country of talented women, and the country of confused, and came to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in the afternoon.The river here is vast, and a curved river meanders into the mountain pass; peach blossoms are blooming all over the mountains and plains, and the peach blossoms are dazzlingly fresh.To get to the mountain pass and need to cross the river, Baoqin asked Jiao Da to stop, jumped off, and said, "Grandpa Jiao, you stay here first, I will be back in a moment."
Jiao Dao: "Baoqin, go and come back quickly, don't miss the time, if something bad happens, I, the coachman, can't afford it."
Baoqin promised, and Fei Yeru came to the riverside, looking for the boat that Tao Yuanming was riding along the reeds.
After looking around, there was no sign of the fisherman. Baoqin was eager to save people, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
At this time, a small boat came from the reeds, and an old man stood in the bow. He sang while steering the oars:
Sure enough, it started to drizzle all of a sudden. It was late spring, and the peach blossoms reflected the spring rain, making them look fresh and moist.
Baoqin brushed the raindrops off her face, bowed deeply to the old man and said, "Grandpa, can you take me across the river? I want to go to Taohuayuan."
The old man said with a smile: "Since ancient times, anyone who wants to cross this river has to recite a poem, otherwise it doesn't matter."
Baoqin is a scholarly family, and it is exported into poems, and it is easy to chant a poem:
"Good poems, good poems, but it should not be a slim fisherman, it should be 'a skinny fisherman knows where to go', okay, lady, let's get on the boat." The old man smiled and rowed the boat to the shore.
Baoqin jumped up.
When the boat reached the other side, Baoqin said to the old man, "Thank you, grandpa, but I will be back later, so you can wait here for a while." Baoqin walked up the path, turned around two big rocks, and came to a waterfall. I saw the waterfall cascading from a height of three feet above. Large characters: Peach Blossom Spring. The entrance of the Peach Blossom Spring is in this waterfall spring, the waterfall water is rushing, and there are waves of waves, and there is a couplet on both sides: Regardless of the water or humidity, Baoqin burrowed into the entrance of the cave. After entering the cave, he could smell the fragrance of peach faintly. This fragrance is different from other fragrances, and it is refreshing.Baoqin turned around a few caves and walked down the steps for about a mile. There was a cave opening in front of it. Looking out from the opening, it was a prosperous scene, with beautiful pavilions and secluded pavilions, located on the top of the green hill, with peach blossoms in full bloom. The farmers are leisurely plowing in the fields, and the women are happily spinning and picking mulberries under the peach trees.There is a peach blossom in everyone's bun, and the girls drive donkeys in a beautiful way, and deliver meals to their relatives in the field. When Baoqin came out, she saw a peach-picking girl approaching her, so she asked, "Sister, please ask me, does Mr. Tao Yuanming live here?" The peach picking girl looked her up in surprise, and said softly: "Yes, it's just because he's lying at home after drinking medicinal wine. He lives on the west side of the village, turn two streets, and go to the house with a well at the east gate." yes." "Why did Mr. Tao drink medicinal wine?" Bao Qin asked. "Oh, it's not because of the two daughters-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law Cui is powerful, the younger daughter-in-law Qing Niangzi is even more powerful, and the mother-in-law is a dominatrix, and the three of them are always quarreling. Old man Tao was in a hurry yesterday, and he couldn't breathe. Come on, drink the medicinal wine, if the second sister-in-law Qing hadn’t discovered it quickly, she would have died long ago, but Mrs. Cui laughed and watched the fun. The second wife Qing is still virtuous, and she brought feces and urine to old man Tao, and made medicinal soup, Too busy!" Baoqin thanked the peach picking girl and followed her instructions to walk towards the center of the street. At this time, a middle-aged woman came from the street, holding a baby boy in her arms. When she saw Baoqin, she was surprised and asked: " Is the girl a foreigner?" Baoqin nodded, and the woman said first: "I used to be a foreigner, and I fled to this Peach Blossom Spring with my husband only to avoid the chaos of the Qin Dynasty. I think you look like a southerner?" Baoqin said, "I'm from Jinling." The woman said happily when she heard this: "That's okay, my natal family is also from Jinling, and we are still fellow villagers! Come on, come and sit at my house." The woman played the Baoqin while she was talking, and Baoqin hurriedly said: "I have something important to do, so I can't delay it." "Then I have to forget it, my family lives on the west side of the street, so I can go there when I have the time." After all, the woman went west. Baoqin came to a thatched hut in the direction pointed by the peach picking girl, only to hear shouts from one room: "Hmph, it's all your fault that the old man is so sick! Once she comes, the house is messed up." At this time, a woman came out. She was dressed in Tsing Yi, with overlapping patches and tears on her face. Baoqin said in surprise, "Sister Qing!" The woman was Qing Niangzi, a Xue Baoqin, and said in surprise: "How did you find it here?" Baoqin told her about asking her to come out of the source, but Qing Niangzi hesitated after hearing this, and then said: "Come, let's sit in the first room." Walking into the house, I saw a thin and frail old man lying in the back room.The old man closed his eyes tightly and sighed alone. There were two women sitting on the top of the kang, and after listening to Qing Niangzi's introduction, they knew that the white-haired old woman with the crutches was Tao Yuanming's mother; non-stop. Baoqin saw a large banner on the wall: "Don't bow down to the villain with five buckets of rice." She saw Mr. Tao lying on the kang again, and couldn't help feeling a little pity. Qing Niangzi and Miss Xue chatted affectionately for a while, but they didn't mention the rescue of Jiuxiang Kingdom.Baoqin is clever, and knows that she misses Mr. Tao.She thought: Why not ask the fellow just now to help take care of it? So Baoqin asked Qing Niangzi: "Is there a family originally from Jinling in Taohuayuan Village? I am from the same village as her." Qing Niangzi said: "Yes, it is Aunt Liu San on the west side of the street." Baoqin said: "Why don't you ask her to help take care of your husband?" Young lady is still hesitant. Then Mrs. Cui and Mother Tao went out, and after a while they brought a pot of hot peach blossom wine. Cui said with a smile: "Miss Xue, this is a native product of the village, you might as well try it." Baoqin usually hates drinking the most, so she has to give in; Cui's all efforts are just to give up the wine, and Tao's mother also graciously lets Baoqin drink. Back and forth, there was a "snap", the wine jug fell to the ground, and there was a burst of flames, which was clearly poisonous wine.It turned out that Cui and Tao's mother couldn't help becoming greedy when they saw the jade clothes, gold rings and silver collars on Baoqin.The two decided to poison Bao Qin with poisoned wine. Of course, it would be better to poison Qing Niangzi. Unexpectedly, the broken pot failed. When Qing Niangzi saw it, she immediately understood that she was so angry that she reached out and took down the two swords on the wall, one sword at a time, and killed Cui Shi and Tao Mu.When Tao Yuanming saw it, he passed out.When the young lady arrived at this time, she didn't care about the many, grabbed the Baoqin, and rushed to the house of the third aunt Liu in the west of the street in three steps, and asked the third aunt Liu to take care of her husband, and then took the Baoqin to the exit of Taoyuan. .After leaving the Peach Blossom Spring, they saw the old man fishing leisurely. They called the old man and boarded the boat until the other side.Jiao Da was waiting anxiously, when he saw them coming, he immediately helped them into the carriage, whipped and urged the horses, and went straight to the Red Chamber. Besides, Shi Xiangyun rode on the green-headed lion horse alone, and ran to the west with the wind, passing the academic garden and Qinghan garden, and came to a mountain at noon.This mountain is majestic and steep, and the mountain scenery is very beautiful. The Yunxiaohan Temple is surrounded by smoke and bamboo.Shi Xiangyun urged his horse to ford across the creek, and went up the mountain around the mountain path. After turning about a dozen turns, he saw a high temple in front of him, with three gold-plated characters written "Pujiu Temple" horizontally on it. There is a couplet: There is a newly planted flower garden behind the temple, which is lush and colorful.There was a little monk drawing water from the well at the door. Shi Xiangyun took the reins and came to the young monk, who was perplexed when he saw it. Xiangyun asked, "Is the lord at home?" The little monk looked at her in surprise, stroked his bald head, and said with a smile: "My master is reading in the study." Xiang Yun asked again: "Are the first lady and the second lady there?" The little monk said: "The eldest lady is playing go with the maids and sisters in the back garden, and the little lady has returned to her mother's house." Xiangyun said thank you, and the little monk went into the temple with a bucket. Xiangyun thought: "When you get to the back garden, you must first pass the study. You must first make an agreement with Yingying before you talk to Zhang Junrui. Otherwise, things will be difficult. Only when you turn over the wall of the back garden and see Yingying first, can you come and see Yingying first." It's a way, otherwise, if I bump into Junrui, the old things will be brought back, and it won't be a big deal." She led the horse around to the back of the temple, tied the green-headed lion horse under a sycamore tree in the woods, and then came to the back of Pujiu Temple. Shi Xiangyun climbed up the wall, and saw a beautiful scene, which was proved by Fu : The rockery and flower shadows, the clouds are fresh and the water is green; the vermilion pavilions and emerald buildings, the beautiful scenery.The rockery is smeared with light, and the shadows of flowers are dotted with red.The clouds are pale and the ground is stirring, the water is clear, the lotus is tender and the lotus root is clear.Who can explain Zhu Ge's poems?There is a stringed sound when the emerald tower is bright and dim.The scenery of the ancient temple is really leisurely, and the famous garden in the world belongs to Yingying. I saw a few maids playing chess and playing there, and a few were playing on the swings. Xiangyun didn't want to disturb them, so he walked gently along the wall alone, taking advantage of the dim sky and the maid's concentration, to move to Yousiao Palace where Yingying lived.She looked in through the window slit, and saw that Qian Sha was half opened, and there were books, books, etc. on the bed, and it was empty without Yingying.So she turned around and groped forward along the whitewashed wall.As soon as he walked to the room not far from the study, he suddenly saw another person in front of him, who was lying on the opposite room, Xiangyun couldn't help being shocked, and quickly got down on the ground.At this time, someone in the study shouted: "There is a thief in the room! Get me the thief!" Xiangyun was startled and almost fell down the room.At this time, a group of monks and maids holding sticks ran out from the front and back yards.After a while a little monk ran out from the opposite room and shouted loudly: "Hold it, hold it, or is it a female thief?" Shocked and suspicious, Xiangyun stared and saw that a heavily bound woman was torn from the opposite room.The lady was dressed in emerald green clothes, carrying a sword backwards, and she was very imposing.Shi Xiangyun was shocked when he saw it, and almost cried out.
When the boat reached the other side, Baoqin said to the old man, "Thank you, grandpa, but I will be back later, so you can wait here for a while." Baoqin walked up the path, turned around two big rocks, and came to a waterfall. I saw the waterfall cascading from a height of three feet above. Large characters: Peach Blossom Spring.
