第十五章丑儿郎强占家资巧媒婆冤遭吊打(3/7)

”
                                                                                                                                                                原来这些族人，做成圈套，不怕员外不从，说道：“老伯不消发怒。但凡人家族谊，那个肯在祖宗面上让一分情面的？偶然有隙可乘，嫡亲兄弟，也要使些计较，何况远房支庶，肯替你出力？我家的戍郎，相貌也看得过，送与老伯看守家财，实是好意思，为何倒发起怒来？如今子侄辈，暂且告别，权留这戍郎打话。”
                                                                                                                                                                员外一把拖住道：“别样也还耐得，第一，这个戍郎，再留不得的。”
                                                                                                                                                                正喧嚷间，忽闻大门之外，一伙人带着器械，乱打进来，大声喊叫，直打到厅上佛前，把和尚的钟鼓打得粉碎。和尚忍了肚饥，各各奔窜。
                                                                                                                                                                员外想道：“白日里决非强盗，必是那些恶族打听我不肯立嗣，就来乘势抢我家私。”
                                                                                                                                                                心上又气又吓，便望里头走进，急急躲在别处。停了一刻，只听得外边大喊道：“快萌赵老爷出来，我们不是别个，是京里报子，特来报状元的。速速出来，打发赏赐。”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           员外不知所以，思量道：“我家并无人考试，就是族中有读书的，也不闻府县升荐，怎么骤然说起报状元？这定是族人，恐怕我走了，假装这样胡乱的名色骗我出去，好拖住我要分家财。”
                                                                                                                                                                一家大小，个个吓呆。堂内那些和尚，虽是打碎钟鼓，躲在外边，闻得是报状元的，知道与他无关，俱挨进来收拾经忏，怕又被人抢去，一发折本。渐渐走到佛前，与报子打话。有几个本学的门斗，说出缘由，道的真是报状元，师父们头上，不消吓出汗来，像个发潮的葫芦。和尚便望里面，传说京报之语。
