Chen Ping'an selects the bucket is arriving at Iron Lock Well the time, middle process Almond Blossom Lane several families the shop, the belly did not greet earlier hungrily, was only in the pouch shy, the youngster can only brace oneself to line up to carry water, in front of him also three families, were one's turn his time, Zhi Gui carried only the small bucket to butt in suddenly horizontally, the back person was not glad immediately. 陈平安挑着水桶来到铁锁井的时候,中间经过杏花巷的几家早点铺子,肚子也不打声招呼就饿了起来,只是囊中羞涩,少年只能硬着头皮排队挑水,他前面还有三户人家,轮到他的时候,稚圭突然拎着只小水桶横插一脚,后边的人立马不乐意了。 Although is insufficient to be foul-mouthed, but the words, had rickets old woman to put it baldly especially, was called Grandma Ma, two sons prospect, had dragon kiln very much respectively, although was minimum, set the base inside thirty dragon kiln, may Almond Blossom Lane naturally be at the highest riches and honor front courtyard gate, but why did not know, old woman and two daughters-in-law's relations located not well, the son daughter-in-law has moved to the Peach Leaf Lane that side, old woman has lived alone in the Almond Blossom Lane home, in Chen Ping'an Liu Yangxian this generation of person eyes, Grandma Ma was very fearful elder, cursed at people extremely ruthlessly, especially mean-spirited parsimonious, big winter courtyard door Outside snow, she wishes one could to hug toward oneself family/home, if there is a child to have a snowball fight with her main house gate snow, or captured the ice cone under her family/home eaves, she can carry the broom to pursue is beating and scolding several streets is not tired. 虽不至于骂骂咧咧,可话也说得不好听,尤其有个佝偻老妪,人称马婆婆,两个儿子都很出息,各自拥有一座龙窑,虽然极小,在三十几口龙窑里头垫底,可在杏花巷这边自然算是顶天高的富贵门庭了,但是不知为何,老妪和两个儿媳妇的关系都处不好,儿子儿媳早已搬到桃叶巷那边去,老妪就一直独居在杏花巷的祖宅,在陈平安刘阳羡这一辈人眼中,马婆婆一直是很可怕的长辈,骂人极狠,尤为小气吝啬,大冬天院门外的积雪,她都恨不得往自己家里搂,若是有孩子打雪仗用了她家门口的雪,或是拔掉她家屋檐下的冰锥子,她能拎着扫帚追着打骂几条街也不累。 Before small town west side these lane, should only then Gu Can his mother, can suppress the Grandma Ma arrogance. Now Widow Gu follows it is said the distant relative of her devil man, went to husband's household's hometown, these years already slightly benign countenance Grandma Ma, immediately on vivid, returned to the rivers and lakes, caught anyone not to look pleasing to the eyes, this not Song Jixin servant girl came such a, Grandma Ma to start to speak immediately mystifyingly, the voice was not big, false smile, chatted with the side woman intentionally, said that some miss each family, can remove the fine hairs from face finally twists the surface, the walking both legs did not have the method to gather in any case, this was the big celebration, finally did not use the young lady body maidservant life, can be shouted the madame frankly and uprightly. 以前小镇西边这些座巷子,应该就只有顾粲他娘亲,能够压得住马婆婆的气焰。如今顾寡妇据说跟着她那死鬼男人的远房亲戚,投奔了夫家的家乡,这些年原本已经稍稍慈眉善目一些的马婆婆,立即就生龙活虎、重返江湖了,逮着谁都瞧不顺眼,这不宋集薪的婢女来这么一出,马婆婆立即就开始阴阳怪气说话,嗓门不大,皮笑肉不笑,故意跟身边妇人拉家常,说有些姑娘家家的,总算可以开脸绞面啦,反正走起路来双腿都没法子并拢了,这是大喜事,终于不用小姐身子丫鬟命,可以光明正大被人喊夫人喽。 Chen Ping'an hears scalp tingles, not good having the mistake expels in first Zhi Gui, after all so many years neighbors. After helping a Liu Xianyang two buckets of water pack, without delay gives her also to carry one bucket of water, is thinking earlier leaves this chaotical young married woman pile. Grandma Ma sees Song Family that lowly maid actually to pretend unable to hear, suddenly is more annoyed. 陈平安听得头皮发麻,又不好把有错在先的稚圭赶走,毕竟这么多年的邻居了。帮刘羡阳两桶水装满后,赶紧给她也拎上来一桶水,想着早点离开这个七嘴八舌的婆娘堆。马婆婆见宋家那小贱婢竟然假装听不到,一时间更加恼火。 The experts contest are so, most feared that the opposite party does not meet to incur, has a good skill in Wushu spatially, then stops over nowhere. 高手过招便是如此,最怕对方根本不接招,空有一身好武艺,便无处落脚。 old woman quarrelled with Widow Gu that show fox in the past, loses turns over to lose, old woman feels the skill to grow perceptibly each time afterward, next time will quarrel can definitely recover the gathering place, where looks like the small wave hoof of this Mud Vase Lane, the time stuffy did not speak intentionally, each time look that but girl left the time, passed the stock to let old woman extremely uncomfortable meaning, really made old woman hate the tooth to be itchy, wants to go forward to grasp her beaten, avoid the youngster and young man of nearby several lane, everyone wished one could to hang the soul, in that was not concerned about face on the waist of servant girl. 老妪以往跟顾寡妇那个骚狐狸吵架,输归输,老妪每次事后觉得功力见长,下次吵架肯定能找回场子,哪像这个泥瓶巷的小浪蹄子,次次故意闷不吭声,但是每次少女离开时候的眼神,又透着股让老妪极其不舒服的意味,真是让老妪恨得牙痒痒,很想上前就抓她个满脸花,省得附近几条巷子的少年和青壮汉子,人人恨不得把魂都挂在那不要脸婢女的腰肢上。 Especially his grandson, although outside in the person eyes is a fool, but recently this paternal grandmother, thought that this child true was insane insanely, day in day out spoke some nonsense, always said, must this Mud Vase Lane servant girl, married to go home to become the wife, then must fight with the fists a hole this heaven. 尤其是他那个孙子,虽然在外人眼中一直是个傻子,可最近就连她这个奶奶,也觉得这孩子真真正正是失心疯了,一天到晚都说些胡话,总说以后要把这个泥瓶巷的婢女,娶回家当媳妇,然后要把这老天一拳打出个窟窿来。 Sees hateful girl not to respond, Grandma Ma projects in the idea the poor youngster, said: „Unpromising inexpensive mud embryo, killed the parents also to have a face to live in the world, knows oneself were doomed not to have the skill to take a wife, licked the face to gang up with servant girl of others family/home, was really the pair of people of created by heaven and earth, because of together was simply good, Mud Vase Lane lives in trash inexpensive place in any case, the child who later had, could not say that really can lord it over in Mud Vase Lane.” 见可恨至极的少女没反应,马婆婆就把主意打到贫寒少年身上,啧啧道:“没出息的贱泥胚,害死了爹娘也有脸活在世上,知道自己注定没本事娶媳妇,就舔着脸勾搭别人家的婢女,真是天造地设的一对狗男女,干脆在一起好了,反正泥瓶巷就是住垃圾贱种的地儿,以后生出来的孩子,说不得真能在泥瓶巷称王称霸呢。” Chen Ping'an thinks, bends the waist just about to puts down the burden/shoulder pole on shoulder. 陈平安想了想,弯腰刚要放下肩上的担子。 servant girl Zhi Gui already puts down the bucket early, moves toward that secure old woman with stride, girl without delay is a palm of the hand, hit the Grandma Ma whole person same place to transfer, dizzy, supported by the arm not to tumble to nearby women. Zhi Gui does not wait for old woman to get back one's composure, is goes forward one step, is a slap in the face falls right in the face, girl scolded: „The thing of old codger, enduring you were very long!” 婢女稚圭已经早早放下水桶,大步走向那个有恃无恐的老妪,少女二话不说就是一巴掌,打得马婆婆整个人原地转了一圈,晕晕乎乎,给旁边妇人们搀扶住才没跌倒。稚圭不等老妪回过神,又是上前一步,劈头盖脸就是一耳光摔下去,少女骂道:“老不死的东西,忍你很久了！” old woman shook the head, air/Qi seethes with rage, will hit back, does not know the is or isn't misconception, supporting by the arm of two women, extremely do one's best, keeping her suddenly from working loose, finally suffers the third time shame, that servant girl maidservant third time acts, the curving finger knocks in the old woman forehead, „, dares to curse at people, pulls out the tongue of your loquacious woman, you scolded a character, I used the acupuncture your one time!” 老妪晃了晃脑袋,气得七窍生烟,正要还手,不知是不是错觉,身边两位妇人的搀扶,太过尽心尽力,让她一时间无法挣脱开,结果惨遭第三次羞辱,那婢女丫鬟第三次出手,弯曲手指在老妪额头往死里一敲,“以后再敢骂人,就把你这个长舌妇的舌头拔出来,你骂一个字,我就用针刺你一次！” old woman frightened heavily, forgot answering back unexpectedly, hit back not to mention. 老妪吓得不轻,竟然忘了还嘴,更别提还手。 The girl turning around half step departs, discovered that neighbor youngster already helps her take the bucket, smiles, returns to Mud Vase Lane with him together. 少女转身快步离去,发现邻居少年已经帮她提着水桶,笑了笑,跟他一起返回泥瓶巷。 Does not wait for Chen Ping'an to speak, girl said definitely the words, „do not thank me, I curse at people with you have not related.” 不等陈平安说话,少女就把话说死了,“别谢我啊,我骂人跟你没关系。” Chen Ping'an had nothing to say in reply. 陈平安无言以对。 Impecunious girl, oneself whispered in that side, has not thought in any case must bring back the bucket from the straw sandal youngster hand. 两手空空的少女,自己在那边嘀嘀咕咕,反正没想过要从草鞋少年手里拿回水桶。 By the Iron Lock Well wheel car(riage), old woman sits on the ground cries loudly without tears, „by the lowly maids of thousand blades, must by the scourge...... my life the pain, Heavens not keep eyes open, how not to divide a thunder to get down, is battered to death this small wave hoof......” 铁锁井轱辘车旁边,老妪坐在地上干嚎,“挨千刀的小贱婢,要遭天谴啊……我的命好苦啊,老天爷不长眼,怎么不劈个雷下来,砸死这个小浪蹄子啊……” The girl footsteps are lively, both hands haunch to the sky one by one, very strange hand signal. 少女脚步轻快,双手一下一下向天空撑起,很古怪的手势。 Was good was so many year of neighbors because of Chen Ping'an with her, did not find it strange. 好在陈平安跟她做了这么多年邻居,并不觉得奇怪。 two people after earlier shop time, Chen Ping'an sees a familiar back, her is not tall, wears the azure clothes, is buying the new meat dumpling, steaming hot, the fragrance flutters the entire street. 两人经过早点铺子的时候,陈平安看到一个熟悉背影,她个子不高,身穿青色衣裳,正在买刚出炉的肉包子,热气腾腾,香味飘荡整条街。 Chen Ping'an 陈平安 Today's early morning, does not know when is the scene that the cloud layer hangs down, is especially thick, like a wealthy person's big bedding, the shop sunbathes in that side. 今天的清晨,不知何时已是云层低垂的景象,格外厚实,像一条富人家的大被褥,铺在那边晒太阳。 Rumble, small town top of the head thunderclap big quake. 轰隆隆,小镇头顶雷声大震。 Iron Lock Well that side Grandma Ma numb slip stands up, ran back the home to go hurriedly, did the small bucket sway, sprinkled the well water, it is estimated that after being proficient, not remaining half bucket of water. 铁锁井那边的马婆婆麻溜站起身,匆匆忙忙跑回家去了,小水桶摇摇晃晃,一路洒出井水,估计到家后,不会剩下半桶水。 Roughly is old woman is well aware, if Heavens real enlarging ones vision, first is struck by lightning, must fall above her mostly. 约莫是老妪心知肚明,老天爷若是真了开眼,第一个雷劈下来,多半就要落在她头上。 After Chen Ping'an hears the thunderclap, looks up, some doubts, do not seem like the sign that rains. 陈平安听到雷声后,抬起头望去,有些疑惑,不像是下雨的迹象。 girl beaming said: „Young Master my family said that he has seen in the book, the hearsay on the early spring, will have Heavenly Court Righteous God to wear golden armor, beats a drum in the clouds, discards the old for the new, deters ten thousand evil, at report early spring.” 少女笑眯眯道:“我家少爷说他在书上看到过,传闻每逢初春,就会有天庭正神身披金甲,擂鼓于云霄,辞旧迎新,震慑万邪,以报新春。” The Chen Ping'an nod said: „Your family young master studies truly many.” 陈平安点头道:“你家少爷读书确实多。” girl sighed, „Young Master my family anything was good, was sluggish, is likes scolding Heavens again, I thought that this was not good.” 少女叹了口气,“我家少爷什么都好,就是懒散了些,再就是喜欢骂老天爷,我觉得这样不好。” Chen Ping'an behind had not said that the person is the non- custom, regarding this has not said anything. Next door Song Jixin has to insist that many year of strange temperament, scolded Heavens, with Grandma Ma was a way, scolded the clever heaven not to enlarge ones vision and so on. However the scholar also has the art of scholar, the wind snowy night, the thunder rainy day, the horizon hangs all over the pink clouds the time, this is Song Jixin three does not scold, said that he must while Heavens naps, scolds him to scold, Heavens cannot hear, will then not be angry, but his Song Jixin can also vent spleen comfortably, kills two birds with one stone. 陈平安没有背后说人是非的习惯,对此没有说什么。隔壁宋集薪有个坚持很多年的怪脾气,就是骂老天爷,跟马婆婆是一个路数,骂贼老天不开眼之类的。不过读书人也有读书人的讲究,风雪夜,雷雨天,天边挂满彩霞的时候,这是宋集薪的三不骂,说他是要趁着老天爷打盹的时候,骂他一骂,老天爷听不到,便不会生气,而他宋集薪也能解气舒坦,一举两得。 Sees Chen Ping'an not to talk, Zhi Gui seemingly said careless: „Hadn't you gone home last night, go to that side Liu Xianyang?” 见陈平安不搭话,稚圭就看似漫不经心说道:“你昨晚没回家,去刘羡阳那边啦？” The Chen Ping'an nod said: „In family/home has the guest, is not convenient.” 陈平安点头道:“家里有客人,不方便。” She asked suddenly: „Right, Mister Qi is or isn't has met with you, what added?” 她冷不丁问道:“对了,齐先生是不是跟你见过面,还说了什么啊？” Chen Ping'an asked back: „Why asked?” 陈平安反问道:“为啥这么问？” She said with a smile simple-hearted: „Asks casually, because I go out draw water today time, just bumped into Mister Qi saying that was early morning takes a walk, but also asked that my you were not at home, I then replied truthfully.” 她天真无邪笑道:“随便问问,因为今天我出门打水的时候,刚好碰到齐先生说是清晨散步,还问我你在不在家呢,我便如实回答了。” Chen Ping'an said with a smile: „Before met Mister Qi, Mister told me several smalltalk, the approximate meaning was I should in the past with Liu Xianyang, went to the school to study together. I can only say that in family/home poor, without the matter of method, I am also willing to study otherwise.” 陈平安笑道:“之前无意间遇上了齐先生,先生就跟我说了几句家常话,大致意思是当年我应该和刘羡阳,一起去学塾读书的。我只能说家里穷,没法子的事情,要不然我也愿意读书。” The Zhi Gui doubts said: „This?” 稚圭疑惑道:“这样吗？” Chen Ping'an looks to her pair of eyes pupil, asked with a smile: „Otherwise do you think?” 陈平安望向她的那双眼眸,笑问道:“要不然你以为？” Her dismiss with a laugh. 她一笑置之。 two people separates in the corner, Zhi Gui received the bucket to Mud Vase Lane, Chen Ping'an returns to the Liu Xianyang home, after this, but must go to that side city east to take the letter letter paper, coins, if has this business early, depends on Chen Ping'an to run through a surrounding area hundred li (0.5 km) mountain top the strength of legs, it is estimated that wife already accumulated enough. 两人在街角分开,稚圭接过水桶去往泥瓶巷,陈平安返回刘羡阳家,在这之后,还要去城东门那边取家书信笺,一封一文钱,要是早早拥有这份生意,就凭陈平安跑遍方圆百里山头的脚力,估计媳妇本都已经攒够了。 In the Mud Vase Lane opening, Zhi Gui saw own young master stands in that side, is having the yawn. 泥瓶巷口子上,稚圭看到自己少爷站在那边,打着哈欠。 She walks quickly, said curiously: „Young Master, how did you come out?” 她快步走去,好奇道:“公子,你怎么出来了？” Song Jixin extends the body slowly, is languid: „When also bored.” 宋集薪缓缓伸展身体,懒洋洋道:“待着也无聊。” She asked low voice: „Does Young Master, when new oversee the manufacture of the officer to return to the small town? After that our can is or isn't go to Capital City?” 她小声问道:“公子,新任督造官什么时候回小镇啊？那之后咱们是不是就能去京城啦？” Song Jixin thinks, „also within a matter on ten-day period.” 宋集薪想了想,“也就一旬之内的事情吧。” Zhi Gui hesitates, the small bucket in hand also follows to sway. 稚圭犹犹豫豫,手里的小水桶也跟着晃晃荡荡。 Song Jixin asked with a smile: „What's wrong, had the concern?” 宋集薪笑问道:“咋了,有心事？” Her shy said: „Young Master, can that local county annals lend me to take a look not? On 1-2 evenings, I am quite literate, the province obtained that anything Capital City, looks down upon, when the time comes implicates Young Master to look at the joke.” 她怯生生道:“公子,那本地方县志能借给我瞅瞅不？就1-2晚上,我好认字,省得到了那啥京城,给人瞧不起,到时候连累公子给人看笑话。” Song Jixin cannot help laughing, slightly after making the consideration, „this has any embarrassed opens the mouth, but before remembering flips through the book, washes the clean hand, do not stain the dirt in the page, is the careful candle oil dripping comes up again, other have nothing needs to pay attention, a itself/Ben ‚stopping’ broken book.” 宋集薪哑然失笑,略作思量后,“这有啥不好意思开口的,不过记得翻书之前,洗干净手,别在书页上沾上污垢,再就是小心蜡烛油滴上去,其它也没什么需要注意的,一本‘到此为止’的破书而已。” Zhi Gui said with a smile brightly: „Servants apologized to Young Master!” 稚圭灿烂笑道:“奴婢谢过公子！” Song Jixin was happy, laughs saying: „Comes, Young Master helps you draw water.” 宋集薪乐了,开怀大笑道:“来来来,公子帮你提水。” Zhi Gui moved aside, sincere say/way: „Young Master! Didn't reach an agreement the Nobleman far kitchen? These miscellaneous matters, Young Master where can moisten bumps, the words that passes on, I will stab in the back by the neighborhood neighbor!” 稚圭躲闪了一下,正色道:“公子！不是说好了君子远庖厨吗？这些杂事,公子哪里能沾碰,传出去的话,我可是会被街坊邻居戳脊梁骨的！” The Song Jixin air/Qi said with a smile: „Customs, truth and etiquette these things, deceive to frighten others to be able, Young Master I......” 宋集薪气笑道:“规矩、道理、礼法这些东西,糊弄吓唬别人可以,公子我……” At this point, this growth in the studying seed of mean alley, no longer said. 说到这里,这位生长于陋巷的读书种子,不再说下去了。 She said curiously: „What is Young Master?” 她好奇道:“公子是什么？” The smile that Song Jixin restores to look down on the world, put out a hand to refer to itself, „Young Master I, actually was also a farmer, paddies to ridges, all various professions, divided, then made one sow, the pilot irrigation, I took a seat and other crops, year after year, this!” 宋集薪恢复玩世不恭的笑容,伸手指了指自己,“公子我啊,其实也就是个庄稼汉,把一块田地给一垄垄,一行行,划分出来,然后让人撒种,引水灌溉啊,我就坐等收成,年复一年,就这样！” She is blurry. 她迷迷糊糊。 Song Jixin laughs heartily. 宋集薪哈哈大笑。 The youngster restrain smilling expression suddenly, said seriously: „Zhi Gui, did is or isn't surnamed Chen help you take bucket?” 少年突然收敛笑意,一本正经道:“稚圭啊,姓陈的是不是帮你提了一路的水桶？” servant girl nods, the look is innocent. 婢女点点头,眼神无辜。 Youngster sincere say/way: „Saints and sages had said that is willing some good intentions of stranger, to regard as the rare and precious treasure, is actually intimate with complete payout of person the side, treats as the heaven's law and earth's principle matter, to its turns a blind eye to, this is incorrect.” 少年语重心长道:“有一位圣贤曾经说过,愿意把陌生人的些许善意,视为珍稀的瑰宝,却把身边亲近人的全部付出,当做天经地义的事情,对其视而不见,这是不对的。” servant girl ignorant doubts, „?” 婢女更加懵懂疑惑,“啊？” The youngster rubbed the chin, thought aloud: „Actually without listening to my implied meaning, how making the young master I say to be good? Can could it be that to Capital City, change the attractive water spirit young housemaid who is with good intention intelligently cleverly?” 少年揉了揉下巴,自言自语道:“竟然没有听出我的言下之意,让少爷我怎么接话才好？难道到了京城,要换一个更聪明伶俐善解人意的漂亮水灵小丫鬟？” servant girl cannot bear smile to make noise, does not care the threat of own young master, reveals the truth saying: „Young master actually wants to wait for me to ask, who is the saints and sages of this big knowledge? Young master, I know that is you!” 婢女忍不住笑出声,根本不把自家少爷的威胁放在心上,揭穿真相道:“少爷其实是想等我问,谁是这位大学问的圣贤吧？少爷,我知道啦,是你嘛！” Song Jixin laughs frank, „knows me, Zhi Gui!” 宋集薪爽朗大笑,“知我者,稚圭也！” - -- In the school reading room, middle-aged Confucian Scholar sits respectfully, he all black and white Go piece on Go Board, all in the spring thunder sound, changes to the fragment powder at present. 学塾书屋内,中年儒士正襟危坐,他眼前棋盘上的所有黑白棋子,皆在春雷声中,化作齑粉。 The small town youngster children catch the stone flatfish in the small stream, a method, is grasps the iron hammer to hit hard in the stream the stone, will have the fish that hides the stone bridge bottom was stunned, surfaces. 小镇少年孩子们在小溪抓石板鱼,有一种法子,是手持铁锤重击溪中石块,就会有躲在石底的鱼被震晕,浮出水面。 In so-called purposely taking certain actions so as to warn others with book, has the wonder of equally good results from different methods. 与书上所谓的敲山震虎,有异曲同工之妙。 But if must warn side Saint, must go against heaven's will the conduct not, contrary to reason Great Dao. 可若是要警告一方圣人,莫要逆天行事,悖理大道。 Then in the world with it status match treasure, probably only then power and influence enormous and powerful heavenly thunder. 那么天地间与之身份匹配的重器,大概就只有威势浩荡的天雷了。
