Tang Xieyuan smiled at the marriage
During the Ming Dynasty, there was a talented man in Wu, surnamed Tang Mingyin, the character Bohu. This man is brilliant and full of economy. Suzhou Taishou Cao Feng saw him and cherished his talent. At that time, it was a scientific expedition, and Cao Feng specially recommended him because of Tang Yin's talent, but the chief examiner wanted to remove him from the name of Xiucai because he heard that Tang Yin was arrogant and informal. Cao Gong tried his best to save him, and Tang Yin was spared.
When the exam was about to begin, Tang Yin was able to take the exam with the qualification of recording the will because of Cao Gong's repeated and painstaking requests, and to understand the Yuan. Tang Yin went to the capital to participate in the examination, and because of his outstanding talent, the princes and nobles condescended to befriend him, and even took pride in seeing him. At that time, there was an official surnamed Cheng who was in charge of reading the papers, because this person had betrayed the test questions privately and was afraid of being discussed, so he had to find a famous person to be the top of the list, which convinced everyone. After the surname Cheng knew Tang Yin, he was very happy and promised to let him be huiyuan. Tang Yin was frank, and after getting drunk, he boasted to people: "This year I will definitely be a member of the Yuan." The crowd had long heard that the person surnamed Cheng was called for personal gain, and they were jealous of Tang Yin's talent, and for a while they coaxed the main secretary to be unjust, and the officials also played the script.
The Holy Father and Emperor dismissed Cheng from his post as an official and exempted Tang Yin from the examination qualifications. After Tang Yin returned to his hometown, he no longer pursued fame and fame, indulged in poetry and wine, and pinned the joys and sorrows in his heart on calligraphy and painting. People get his poetry and paintings, even if they are on paper scales, they are like treasures. The people of his hometown loved him, regarded him as glory, and called him Tang Xieyuan.
Tang Xieyuan once went on a boat trip on the river, and many people came to ask him for calligraphy and painting. Later, more and more people came to hear the wind, and Tang Yin was very impatient, so he leaned on the window alone to drink. Suddenly, a painting boat passed by, and a green-clothed ring on the boat smiled at him. The girl was born with beautiful eyebrows and a graceful posture. Tang Xieyuan looked at the spirit and asked Ming Zhouzi, it turned out that the ship was a female relative of the Wuxi Hua Xueshi Mansion. Tang Yin wanted to follow closely behind, but he couldn't find the boat, and he was very disappointed. At this time, I suddenly saw a small boat rocking over, Tang Xieyuan didn't care if anyone was there, desperately beckoning him to come over to the ship to get closer, a person came out of the cabin, Xie Yuan looked at it, it was his friend Wang Yayi. Wang Yayi asked, "Bo Hu, why are you in such a hurry?" Tang Yin said, "I'm in a hurry to visit a friend from afar, it's very important." Tang Yin asked Where Yayi was going, and after learning that Yayi had gone to Maoshan to enter the incense, he said that he would go along the way and would go together. At the moment, I didn't even pack my clothes, let alone say goodbye to my friends on the boat who asked for poetry and painting, and jumped directly to the Yayi boat and left. Tang Yin instructed Zhouzi to sail faster, and Zhouzi knew that he was Xie Yuan and did not dare to be sloppy. After a while, I saw the painting in front of me. Tang Yin ordered him to sail with the big ship, and the people did not know what he was going to do, so they had to follow him.
The next day, when we arrived in Wuxi, the painting boat entered the city. Tang Yin told the boatman to go and get some Huishan spring water, and he and Yayi landed on the shore and entered the city. Arriving at the lively place in Wuxi, Tang Yin walked east and west alone and walked to a street. Suddenly, I heard the sound of shouting, only to see a dozen servants leading a warm palanquin, and one of the maids was the green cloth ring. Tang Yin rejoiced in his heart and followed far away, until a gate was downstairs, and everyone rushed in. Tang Yin asked the others, saying that this was the Hua Xueshi Mansion, and the person in the palanquin was Madame Huafu. Tang Yin received the truth and asked for directions out of the city. Just at this time, the people on the boat obtained the spring water, and Yayi and the others had just returned. The crowd asked where Tang Yin had gone, and Tang Yin prevaricated. In the middle of the night, Tang Yin cried out in his dream. The crowd was horrified and asked why. Tang Yin told everyone, "I just dreamed of a golden armor god man who beat me with a stick and blamed me for being dishonest in my heart. I prostrated my head and pleaded, vowing to fast for January, and go to the mountain alone to apologize. After dawn, I went back myself first, and you don't have to accompany me. Yayi and others believed it to be true. At dawn, a small boat came and said it was going to Suzhou. Tang Yin bid farewell to everyone and jumped on the boat. After the boat traveled for a while, Tang Yin said that he had forgotten something, rewarded the boat, and landed on the shore himself. Tang Yin found an inn, changed into old clothes and hats, dressed up as a poor man, walked into the Washington pawn shop, and met with the general manager on the grounds of pawn money. Tang Yin whispered to the manager, "The little man's name is Kang Xuan, and he originally taught in a small bookstore. Recently lost the museum, alone and have no livelihood, want to vote for everyone to be a book boy, I don't know if your government will use me? I would be grateful if I could be hired by your government. Tang Yin took out a resume from his sleeve and showed it to the general manager, who saw that the handwriting was correct and lovely, and then said, "I have gone to the old master, and tomorrow you will come to listen to the news." In the evening, the general manager showed the paper to Hua Xueshi. Hua Xueshi looked at it and praised: "Well written, the font is good, tomorrow call him to come and see me."
The next day, Tang Yin came to the pawn shop, and the general manager led him to see Hua Xueshi. When Hua Xueshi saw that he was good-looking and had read books, he asked him to read to his son. The bachelor asked him how much he wanted. Tang Yin said, "I don't want to be worth anything, I just want some clothes to wear." If the old man is satisfied in the future, he will reward me with a daughter-in-law. Hua Xueshi listened to the great joy. The general manager found a few clothes for Tang Yin to change and changed his name to Hua An. Gongzi asked him to copy the article, and there were inappropriate words in the article, and Hua An changed it himself. The prince was surprised and very happy to see that he had changed it well, so he asked him to revise his article. Sometimes there are problems in the meaning of the question, and Hua An explains it to the prince. When gongzi couldn't do it, Hua An ghostwrote for him. The gentleman saw that Gongzi's learning had improved by leaps and bounds, and praised him to Hua Xueshi. Hua Xueshi read the article and said, "This is not written by my son, it is not copied, or it is looking for someone to ghostwrite it." The gentleman did not believe it, and said that it was written by the prince. Hua Xueshi asked Gongzi for a drink. Gongzi did not dare to conceal it, but had to say that it was Hua An who revised it. The bachelor summoned Hua An and interviewed him in the hall. Hua An did not hesitate to wave and dedicate it to the bachelor. The Bachelor saw that his wrist was like jade, and his left hand was six fingers. Looking at his article again, the writing was exquisite and very happy, so I left him in the study to take charge of the secretary. All the letters of the bachelor told Hua An to be careless and let him ghostwrite. Hua An wrote very well about the bachelor's intentions and never needed to be deleted. The Bachelor is very fond of Hua'an and often has rewards. Hua An often bought wine, bought food and enjoyed it with the children in the study, so everyone liked him. Hua An also learned from the crowd that the ring was named Qiu Xiang, which was the lady's personal ring, and it could not be separated for a while. Hua An had not thought of a plan to marry Qiu Xiang for a long time, and often sighed sadly.
Hua Xueshi only thought that he was widowed in his prime, so he was sad, but he did not know that he had a crush. 4. At this time, the chief manager of the pawn shop died of illness, and Hua Xueshi asked Hua An to temporarily manage the pawn shop. For more than a month, Hua An has been cautious and unselfish. Hua Xueshi wanted to appoint Hua An as the general manager, but he felt that he was alone, had no family, and could not be entrusted with heavy trust. So he consulted with his wife and wanted to find a matchmaker to marry him. Hua An bought the matchmaker and asked her to tell her wife that the women outside did not know everyone's rules, and if they could marry among the wives and maids, it would be perfect. The matchmaker said accordingly. That night, the lady sat in the middle hall, and more than twenty people in the ring were dressed up and stood on both sides, as if a group of fairies were clustered around the Queen Mother on the top of the Yao pond. Madame Called Hua An into the middle hall and said, "The old man said that you should be careful to use it, and he wanted to reward you with a wife." These few maids, you can pick one at random. Hua An looked at it once, and although some of them looked very standard, the green cloth ring was not among them. Hua An retreated to the side, silent, and when Madame asked him, he did not answer. Madame was unhappy in her heart and rebuked: "Hua An, you have a high vision, can't you see any of these yahuan of mine?" Hua An replied: "Lady Hui, Lady Hua AnMeng gave it, and let Hua An choose it herself, this is the ancient Longen, even if Hua An is crushed to pieces, it is difficult to repay The Lady." It's just that the lady and the maid came unevenly, and having received grace, Hua An was willing to be fully observed. Madame smiled and said, "It turns out that you suspected that I was stingy and secretive, so let the four ladies in the room also call out to show him and fulfill his wishes." It turned out that the four rings in the room were Madame's favorites, called: Chunmei, Xiaqing, Qiuxiang, and Dongrui. The four of them did not have time to change their clothes, and their personal clothes came. Qiu Xiang is still a green coat, rich in the past, not diminished at all. Hua An couldn't contain the joy in his heart, and he couldn't help but look stunned. When Madame Hua saw Hua An's look, she asked, "Who do you like?" Hua An knew that her name was Qiu Xiang, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to pretend not to know her, and pointed her hand and said, "If you can marry this little lady in green clothes, your life wish will be enough." Madame looked at Qiu Xiang and smiled slightly, and asked Hua An to go back first. Hua An returned to the pawn shop, happy and afraid, both happy that the opportunity was very good, but also afraid that he had not started, but he was afraid that he would not succeed.
The next day, Madame said to Hua Xueshi. The family was instructed to clean up a clean room, bed tent furniture, and everything was available. The domestic servants flattered him as the new chief and all sent things. A room, arranged like a brocade, the lady and Hua Xueshi chose an auspicious day, for him to marry, Hua'an Qiuxiang chapel to become a relative. In the middle of the night, Qiu Xiang asked him, "I see that you are very familiar, but I don't know where you have seen it?" Hua An said, "Little lady, think for yourself." After a few days, Qiu Xiang suddenly asked Hua An, "Is it you who saw you on the Suzhou Zhangmen Cruise Ship before?" Hua An smiled and said, "Yes." Qiu Xiang was puzzled: "Then you must not be a subordinate, how did you come here?" Hua An said, "The little lady leaned on the boat and smiled, so I couldn't forget my feelings, so I followed here." Qiu Xiang said, "I see that everyone embraces you and asks you to paint and calligraphy, but you ignore it, drinking wine alone, if there is no one around, I know that you must not be an ordinary person, so I laugh." Hua An smiled, "A woman's family can learn from the customs of celebrities, but it is better than the red breeze in ancient times!" Qiu Xiang said, "On Nanmen Street, I seem to have seen it again." Hua An smiled and said, "Great! Awesome!" Qiu Xiang said, "Then who are you?" Hua An replied, "I am Suzhou Tang Xieyuan." Hua An asked Qiu Xiang if she would like to leave with him, and Qiu Xiang said, "For me, you have even thrown yourself into slavery with a thousand gold bodies, how can I not live with you for the rest of my life?" The next day, Hua An carefully opened a book of the accounts in the pawn shop, opened an account for the house's clothes and jewelry and bed account utensils, and each person gave another account, and he did not take any of them. That night, he and Qiu Xiang left by boat. When the Fifth Scholar saw that nothing in the bed tent in their room had moved, and the accounts in the pawn shop were clearly and clearly recorded, he looked up and saw a poem on the wall, and the last sentence was: "If the master asks for his real name and surname, he will only be in Kangxuan." Only then did I know that Hua An was not called Kang Xuan. I don't know why he came to the mansion so much, but if he was a bad person, he would not take anything in his possessions, and he didn't know how Qiu Xiang would run away with him.
Hua Xueshi thought that it didn't matter if I lost a maid, but I had to find out the ins and outs of this matter. Hua Xueshi told the family boy to send a catcher, and wanted Kang Xuan and Qiu Xiang everywhere. A year later, there was still no news, and Hua Xueshi gradually forgot about this matter. One day, Hua Xueshi went to Suzhou to pay respects and passed through Zhangmen. The boy saw that there was a person in the bookstore, resembling Hua An, and his left hand was also six fingers, and he hurriedly reported to Hua Xueshi that he knew. Hua Xueshi instructed him to take a closer look and look up the man's name. The boy returned to the bookstore, and when he saw that Xiucai and a Xianggong had just walked down the stairs, they quietly followed him. From the back, it is clear that it is Hua An. The boy turned back to the bookstore and asked the shopkeeper, "Who is that talent?" The shopkeeper told him: "It was Tang Bohu who xieyuan Xianggong, and Wenhui Mingxianggong invited him to eat wine." The boy asked again, "Is Fang Cai's Xianggong Wen Xianggong?" The shopkeeper said, "That's Zhu Zhishan, and it's also a celebrity." The children wrote down one by one and replied to Hua Bachelor. Hua Xueshi had long heard of Tang Bohu's debauchery, and he did not know whether it was Hua An. The next day, he wrote a famous post and visited Tang Bohu. Hua Xueshi looked at it again and again, much like Hua An, and it was also the six fingers of his left hand. Hua Xueshi said: "There is a Kang Xuan in your county, who is very literate, and last year he was a domestic servant in my house and changed his name to Hua'an. He became intimate with a maid in my house, and somehow the couple fled a few days later. Does sir know a little bit about the wind?" Tang Yin just hmmmed and didn't answer. Hua Xueshi came to the study again and saw Tang Bohu's handwriting, which was Hua An's handwriting. Asked Tang Bohu, still just hmmm. Hua Xueshi's heart was troubled, and he wanted to say goodbye. Tang Bohu then invited Hua Xueshi to eat wine. During the meal, a young lady came out.
Hua Xueshi was about to avoid Tang Bohu and pull it. The little lady came forward to worship, and Hua Xueshi realized that this woman was Qiu Xiang. Tang Xieyuan began to meet in the valve boat and talked in detail. Everyone clapped their hands and laughed.
Hua Xueshi returned home, told the story to madame, and laughed again. The two prepared a very thick dowry and sent someone to Tang Xieyuan's house. Since then, the two families have become relatives and have been in constant contact.
