Meng county deputy said, arched to Hua Qingfeng said submissively: „Lower official said goodbye!” 孟县丞说罢,向花晴风拱了拱手道:“下官告辞！” Meng county deputy said that does not wait for Hua Qingfeng to reply, then strokes the big sleeve, goes floating. 孟县丞说罢也不等花晴风回答,便把大袖一拂,飘然而去。 Hua Qingfeng decides is looking at his back, the look is extremely complex. 花晴风定定地望着他的背影,神色极其复杂。 Since he arrives at Hu county, then colludes the close staff to impede with the local tyrants by Meng county deputy and registrar Wang these two, to these two people, Hua Qingfeng is hates extremely, but once comes across the difficult matter, he cannot leave these two people, he loathes oneself incompetent at the same time, cannot constrain the hatreds to these two people, this mood is really inenarrable. 自从他来到葫县,便饱受孟县丞和王主簿这两个与当地豪强勾连密切的僚属掣肘,对这两个人,花晴风已是恨极,可一旦遇到难事,他又离不开这两个人,他一面厌恶自己的无能,又压抑不住对这两个人的仇恨,这种心情实在难以描述。 Three of county administration situated in county administration finally enters the courtyard, here is the county magistrate and family's dwelling. The construction of Hu county county administration the yamun construction like Central Plain area, does not advocate the construction to in an axle, here under the topography, the backyard has very big randomness as the private residence construction. 县衙的三堂处于县衙的最后一进院落,这里是知县及其家眷的住处。葫县县衙的建筑并不像中原地区的官衙建筑,主建筑都要在一条中轴线上,这里迫于地势,后院作为私宅建造上有很大的随意性。 In the latter dwelling Yueliang (Moon) gate is a tall bamboo flower garden, several side false rocks, scattered and organized. In this period winding track passed through, is a deep green puddle of half-moon-shaped. 后宅月亮门内是一片修竹花圃,几方假山石,错落有致。其间曲曲折折的小道儿穿过去,便是一个半月形的碧绿水潭。 pond water such as the mild emerald, aquatic has lotus flower several together, under the lotus leaf has sea-monster several, is actually not that type of ornamental brocade lithium, looks at that fish, mostly is the master the harvest that fishes to bring back where, then breeds in this, pours also has a flavor. 潭水如一块温润的翡翠,水上有莲花数枝,莲叶下有游鱼几尾,却也不是那种观赏型的锦锂,看那鱼儿,多半是此间主人于何处垂钓携回的收获,遂放养于此,倒也别有一番味道。 Goes out of a red garment female from the lobby slowly, the step posture is slender and wispy, hand operated small circular fan, turns the won ton veranda, then walks toward three. 从穿堂里姗姗地走出一个绯衫女子,步姿袅娜,手摇一柄小小团扇,拐到抄手游廊,便向三堂走去。 , Sees in the slender beautiful figure in Gengen red porch pillars and green railings to curl to flash through from afar together, under the railing also has the Japanese banana and not the well-known bowl mouth big anthocephalus chinensis, just like attendant roaming Chuntu. 远远的,就见一道窈窕的倩影于根根红色廊柱、绿色围栏之间袅袅闪过,围栏下又有芭蕉和不知名的碗口大的团花,宛如一副仕女游春图。 That composed moving Little Women curls good along the won ton veranda is about dozens steps, is three, the hall mouth has a azure clothes young male servant to relax the hands to stand, seeing her to come, salutes to say hastily: „Madame.” 那婉约动人的小妇人沿着抄手游廊袅袅地行不过数十步,便是三堂,厅口有一青衣小厮垂手而立,看见她来,连忙施礼道:“夫人。” That Little Women also on the 26 or 27-year-old age, the fresh-faced fair skin plays musical instruments broken, eye curved, has a different kind charming flavor, like one thoroughly ripe peach. She nods slightly, top of the head gold/metal Buyao swings gently, speaks thoughtlessly to ask: „Can master in the hall?” 那小妇人也就二十六七岁年纪,粉嫩白皙的皮肤吹弹得破,眼儿弯弯,有种别样的迷人味道,就像一枚熟透了的桃子。她微微颔首,头顶金步摇轻轻摆动,随口问道:“老爷可在厅中？” The sound of Little Women sends soft glutinous, what although said is the Mandarin/bureaucratic language, brings the sounds of some south of Changjiang (Yangtze river) soft accent of the Wu dialect, listens very delightfully interesting to listen. 小妇人的声音柔软发糯,虽然说的是官话,却带着些江南吴侬软语的音韵,听来非常悦耳动听。 After the young male servant respectful sound replied, Little Women took a step into the hall, olive yellow ratio armor clothes sleeve whirlwind, left behind wisp of delicate fragrance. The young male servant looks up, only sees the graceful back, pitch-black beautiful hair pulls a falling off a horse hair bun, that mature charming young married woman graceful bearing, making one look to be charmed. 小厮恭声回答之后,小妇人举步入厅,一件秋香色的比甲衣袂飘风,遗下一缕幽香。那小厮抬头望去,只看见娉娉婷婷一个背影,乌黑的秀发挽一个堕马髻,那种成熟妩媚的少妇风韵,令人望而神往。 The young married women took a step, the indoor blue brick inundated, on beam hung five corner/horn palace lantern, a central scroll majestic loosen piles as high as a mountain the green chart, beside several case furniture, near near wall also had flower trellis two, various pendulums a Qi longevity Changchun white stone bonsai. 少妇举步走了进去,室内青砖漫地,梁上挂五角宫灯,中堂一副大气磅礴的松山积翠图,几案桌椅之外,近墙边又有花架两只,各摆着一只琦寿长春白石盆景。 Has to sit in right falls the screen to separate a small space, on the painted screen is the beautifully vivid riches and honor peony chart, the young married woman goes slowly, the gait is exquisite, like entering in picture. 在右侧有坐地落屏隔开一个小小空间,画屏上是鲜丽的富贵牡丹图,那少妇姗姗而去,步态优美,就像走进了画里。 After the screen, is a study room, the window is opening, out of the window duckweed green water, near the pond has the rock to build, there are innumerable ivy to camouflage the entire tall wall, window under had only extends a person of roaming Ge small corridor together, planted a tree in the window about respectively, left pomegranate and right hypericum. 屏后是一间书房,窗子开着,窗外一萍绿水,池塘边上都有山石垒着,有无数的爬山虎遮蔽了整面高墙,窗子下边有一道只宽一人游戈的小走廊,于窗子左右各植一树,左石榴、右海棠。 In case on the surface is rolling paper, has the ink marks faintly, Hua Qingfeng by the circle chair, is raising head exhaustedly, motionless, the forehead is still frowning faintly, forms a Sichuan character faintly, as if tired even breathes is disinclined. 案上地上团着一张张纸张,隐隐都有墨迹,花晴风靠在圈椅上,疲惫地仰着头,一动不动,眉心隐隐还在颦着,隐隐形成一个川字,似乎已经疲乏的连呼吸都懒得。 The charming woman sighed gently, today seeks the husband, originally was the younger brother please hold her matter, may see with own eyes the appearance that the husband felt exhausted physically and mentally, her where was also cruel enough to make him worry with own matter. 妩媚妇人轻轻叹了口气,今日来寻丈夫,本来是弟弟请托了她一件事情,可眼见丈夫身心俱疲的模样,她哪里还忍心用自己的事去让他烦恼。 The women arrive at Hua Qingfeng leisurely behind, puts the circular fan on the table, lifts white such as the canalis carpi of beautiful jade, the green sleeve slips off, two emerald green bracelets as if reflect her shallot jade and a slender white arms fine exquisite orchid. 妇人款款地走到花晴风身后,将团扇搁在桌上,抬起皓如美玉的腕管,翠袖褪下,两只翠绿的镯子映得她那青葱玉、纤细皓腕仿佛一朵精致优美的兰花。 The Hua Qingfeng forehead moved, that pair of white hands then pressed down his shoulder, the woman rubbed to pinch the shoulder for him gently, supple sound said: „Is master still in the Code of History incident worries?” 花晴风的眉心动了一下,那双玉手便按上了他的肩膀,妇人轻轻为他揉捏着肩膀,柔声道:“老爷还在为典史一事发愁么？” Hua Qingfeng lazily un, without reply. 花晴风懒洋洋地嗯了一声,没有回答。 Young married woman supple sound said: „Master does not need to make excessive demands itself, this Hu county is what situation, National imperial court Gentlemen was clear compared with you, whom changed to come to here to open up the perspective, how can blame on the master.” 少妇柔声道:“相公不必太苛求自己,这葫县是个什么情形,朝中诸公比你清楚,换了谁来这里能够打开局面呢,怎么能责怪到相公头上。” Hua Qingfeng smiled bitterly, said: „How not to blame me, I am muddled county magistrate in this bottle gourd county.” 花晴风苦笑了一声,道:“怎不怪我,我是这葫芦县里的糊涂县令啊。” Few traditional woman ethics: „You are not muddled.” 少妇道:“你才不糊涂。” Hua Qingfeng said: „If not muddled, that is incompetent.” 花晴风道:“若是不糊涂,那就是无能透顶。” The young married women are angry saying: „Master!” 少妇嗔道:“相公！” Hua Qingfeng opens the eye slowly, is looking up to his wife, exquisite pink flesh, with her exquisite solemn facial features, like a pale color exquisite brush attendant of painting skilled artist writing, although two people have gotten married for ten years, but she as before beautifully vivid like a pink pearl. 花晴风慢慢张开眼睛,仰望着他的妻子,细腻的粉红色的肌肤,衬着她那精巧端庄的五官,就像一位丹青妙手笔下的淡彩工笔仕女,尽管二人已成亲十载,可她依旧鲜丽的如同一枚粉色的珍珠。 But oneself......, merely three years, he has the wrinkle and head also to have the white hair, some back also rickets, just when served as an official takes up an official post that high-spirited man, has annihilated in his memory deep place. 而自己……,仅仅三年,他已经有了皱纹、头上也有了白发,背也有些佝偻了,刚刚做官走马上任时那个意气风发的男子,早已湮灭在他的记忆深处。 Hua Qingfeng is calling the wife fine reputation, said low-spirited: „Su Ya, the royal government will certainly understand my hardship, but this does not mean that the royal government will forgive my hardship. A world non- person of the world, the royal government is not decided by a person, no matter the emperor or Chief Secretary, are involuntary sometimes. On world big checkerboard, my board game piece radically insignificant!” 花晴风唤着妻子芳名,黯然道:“苏雅,朝廷当然会明白我的苦处,可这并不意味着朝廷会体谅我的苦处。天下非一人之天下,朝廷也不是由一个人说了算的,不管是皇帝还是首辅,有些时候都是身不由己的。在天下这张大棋盘上,我这枚棋子儿根本就微不足道啊！” Su Ya is silent, is looking at the husband rapid senile appearance, some sad tunnels: „...... Didn't have the means?” 苏雅默然,望着丈夫迅速衰老的容颜,有些悲戚地道:“难道……就没有办法了么？” Hua Qingfeng touches suo mildly the wife such as the back of the hand of jade, shakes the head saying: „At the end of the year the term examination, in the middle of the next year, my punishment should get down at the latest. Only if the big honored person who is passing the day drops from the clouds, or can guarantee me to pass through. But if, really such does a big honored person, why lead by the hand my unsuccessful young seven officials?” 花晴风摸挲着妻子温润如玉的手背,摇头道:“年底大考,最迟明年年中,我的处分就该下来了。除非有一位通着天的大贵人从天而降,或能够保我过关。可是,若真这样一位大贵人,凭什么来提携我这个不得志的小小七品官呢？” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ In the post house, Ye Xiaotian at the back of the big burden, Shuiwu is conducting the arm a small burden, Leyao resembles the mold type place to take up to select east and west, lesser panda fuwa screws on a bamboo coolie hat, on the shoulder is carrying a bamboo basket, in the bamboo basket is putting its grain ration ---- Several bamboo shoots. 驿馆里面,叶小天背着个大包袱,水舞挎着个小包袱,就连乐遥都似模似样地拿起点东西,小熊猫福娃头上扣着一顶竹笠,肩上背着一个竹篓,竹篓里放着它的口粮----十几根竹笋。 Household branch government official standard Li Yuncong blocks in front, coldly looks at Ye Xiaotian: „Guide hands over, you cannot leave this county temporarily, wants the guide to do?” 户科吏典李云聪拦在前面,冷冷地看着叶小天:“路引交出来,你暂时不能离开本县,要路引干什么？” Ye Xiaotian said: „But...... I, if stays at an inn to need to examine......” 叶小天道:“可是……我要是住店需要验看……” Li Yuncong said: „this county some are the place does not examine the guide to move, so long as you have money. Hands over the guide, what to do if you did take the guide to run away?” 李云聪道:“本县有的是地方不验路引就可以入住,只要你有钱。交出路引,万一你拿了路引逃走怎么办？” Ye Xiaotian hands over the guide reluctantly, said: „Shuiwu, we walk.” 叶小天无奈地交出路引,道:“水舞,咱们走。” Li Yuncong puts out a hand another to block, said: „Holds on a minute! All properties put down entirely!” 李云聪伸手又一拦,道:“且慢！所有财物统统放下！” Ye Xiaotian startled say/way: „Why is this? Is the this county difference officer concurrent job robber inadequate?” 叶小天惊道:“这是为何？本县差官还兼职强盗不成？” Li Yuncong said: „Do you have money are not same can run away? Furthermore, this case not yet bright, who knows that your money background is positive, your money is taken care by the county administration temporarily, after revealing the truth, you.” 李云聪道:“你有了钱不是一样可以逃走？再者说,此案尚未明朗,谁知道你的钱来路正不正,你的钱暂时由县衙保管,待真相大白后自会还你。” Li Yuncong beckons with the hand, immediately two messengers throw, seized Ye Xiaotian and burden in Xue Shuiwu hand, immediately the messenger goes forward to search for the body of Ye Xiaotian, but Shuiwu and Le Yao also had the relay station deputy wife to do for somebody, goes forward to search, really searched for clean them. 李云聪一摆手,马上就有两个差役扑上来,夺走了叶小天和薛水舞手中的包袱,马上又有一个差役上前搜叶小天的身,而水舞和乐谣也有驿丞的夫人代劳,上前搜了一番,真个把他们搜了个一干二净。 Fuwa stupidly stands on one side, unexpectedly...... has basket that not good Official messenger nudged it to carry unexpectedly, from inside along two bamboo shoots. 福娃儿傻傻地站在一边,居然……居然就有那无良的衙差拨拉了一下它背的筐子,从里边顺走了两根竹笋。 The family of four slid brightly and cleanly is expelled the post house smooth, overnight, they from sir official and official's wife's treatment, turned into the penniless poor. 一家四口光洁溜溜地被赶出了驿馆,一夜之间,他们就从官老爷、官太太的待遇,变成一贫如洗的贫民了。 Ye Xiaotian stands in the post house entrance, having a look at post house entrance two to hold the arm to stand, casts a sidelong glance indifferently his errand runners and minor employee, has a look at Li Yuncong and another bad officer who the casual attire appearance, is responsible for following closely in secret, sighed, traces the fuwa „dog head”, sigh with emotion said/tunnel: „Brothers, I must know early today, rather make you eat money initially.” 叶小天站在驿馆门口,看看驿馆门口两个抱臂而立,冷眼睨他的驿卒,又看看便装打扮、负责暗中盯梢的李云聪和另一个差官,叹口气,摸摸福娃的“狗头”,感慨地道:“兄弟,我要早知有今天,当初宁肯让你把钱都吃了。” The fuwa looks left and right, the short tail curls upwards, „works as lang”, discharges a good money the fragment. 福娃左右顾盼一下,短尾巴一翘,“当啷”一声,屙出一个大钱的碎片来。 Although Ye Xiaotian is filled with the anxiety, by this funny guy funny wants to smile, cannot bear ridicule saying: „Looks at your pitiful look!” 叶小天虽是满心愁苦,还是被这个活宝逗的想笑,忍不住笑骂道:“瞧你那熊样儿！” The fuwa raised the head, stupidly looked at his one eyes. 福娃抬起头,傻兮兮地看了他一眼。 ...... …… Evening time, the family of four was admitted to the temple housing the village god. 傍晚的时候,一家四口住进了土地庙。 So long as there is a place of Han people, as if must always have such a deity that runs the land. What sounds queer, the Han people common people take seriously the land, therefore opens up territory to develop the earth at every place of visit, will not always forget that gives this Spiritual God that runs the land constructs a temple, but also only stops in constructs the temple for him. 只要有汉人的地方,似乎总少不了这么一位掌管土地的神仙。可是令人奇怪的是,汉人百姓重视土地,所以每到一处开疆拓土,总不会忘记给这位掌管土地的神灵建一座庙,但也仅止于为他建庙。 As if......, so long as constructs a temple for this Spiritual God, they performed the responsibility, after that was concerned with this Spiritual God, they took seriously the land from the bone, actually did not care about the land god from the bone, even in the fairytale, always regards the object who this Spiritual God teased. 似乎……只要为这位神灵建一座庙,他们就尽到了责任,其后对这位神灵就不闻不问了,他们从骨子里重视土地,却又从骨子里不在乎土地爷,甚至在神话故事中,总是把这位神灵当成调侃的对象。 Therefore, the temple housing the village god incense and candles of various world places are not mostly abundant, Hu county this place especially so. So that the Ye Xiaotian family of four moves in as before is a tattered temple housing the village god. 所以,天下各处的土地庙大多香火不盛,葫县这种地方尤其如此。以致叶小天一家四口入住的依旧是一间破破烂烂的土地庙。 „big brother Ye, I am unfair to you!” “叶大哥,我对不起你！” Xue Shuiwu sees surrounding ruined, suddenly tears falling like rain. 薛水舞眼看周围一片破败,忽然泪如雨下。 She „thump~” kneels down before the Ye Xiaotian body, is bursting into tears to kowtow: „big brother Ye, I was not clear from the beginning your manner, does not dare to reveal the concern to you. Afterward asked you to help sincerely, If not I urges you to report to the government authorities, how you will have today, big brother Ye, I am unfair to you......” 她“卟嗵”一声跪倒在叶小天身前,流着泪磕头:“叶大哥,一开始我是不清楚你的为人,不敢对你吐露心事。后来却是诚心请你帮忙,我一个弱女子,没个男人帮衬着,在这种地方简直是寸步难行,可我从没想过会害你落到这步田地。如果不是我劝你向官府报案,你怎会有今天,叶大哥,我对不起你……” Xue Shuiwu is deeply grieved, she cries while to kowtow to apologize, when her tears flow of tears are on the rise, suddenly has a scare, when does not know, Ye Xiaotian in her opposite has knelt down, Xue Shuiwu kowtows, he also kowtows, knocks the ritual to return salute, rhythmical. 薛水舞悲痛欲绝,她一边哭一边磕头谢罪,待她泪水涟涟地抬起头,忽然吓了一跳,不知什么时候,叶小天已经在她对面跪下,薛水舞磕头,他也磕头,一磕礼一还礼,有板有眼。 Xue Shuiwu surprised said/tunnel: „big brother Ye, do you...... you do?” 薛水舞吃惊地道:“叶大哥,你……你这是干什么？” Ye Xiaotian serious said/tunnel: „I have not thought that your miss lives at however is so impatient. You looked that our Tian Di (Heaven and Earth) has done obeisance, when nuptial chamber?” 叶小天一本正经地道:“我也没想到你一个姑娘家居然这么性急。你看咱们天地都拜过了,何时洞房呢？” P: Asked the recommendation ticket, to register the click honestly!
