第四章闹街头媒婆争娶病闺中小姐相思(2/9)

                                                                                                                   天表走进中堂见了夫人，把安童的事仔细询问。夫人细说一遍，天表听了心中焦躁，含怒道：“嫂嫂逐出这安童也是，若是这安童暗暗苟合不使人知，岂不把闺门都玷辱了？将来不惟是侄女亲事没了好人家，就是叫我也难做人，你那时把两个活活打死，方才正个家法。”
                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                夫人道：“彼时我意欲打死他，只虑女儿未曾许聘，吹到外面去，只说我闺门不谨，做出这件不清不白的事，便招人谈论。今安童既赶回庄上，就是这春梅亦未必可留在家。欲速寻一个媒婆，我并不要分文，白送与人去罢。”
                                                                                                                                                                天表听说不受分文，又惹起爱便宜的念头来了，想了一想，便应道：“依我愚见，还是侄女婚姻事大。就该把这贱婢登时赶了去罢。”
                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                夫人道：“我主意正要如此，因女儿劝我慢慢寻个的当媒婆，配做一夫一妇也是我的阴德。”
                                                                                                                                                                天表点头道：“只是有一事，近日街上媒婆比往常时甚是奸险了，没有一个不会脱空说谎的，全是那张口舌赚人钱钞。假如贫苦的人家，他说田园房屋甚多，金银车载，珠玉斗量。本是至丑至粗的女子，他说极标致，生性温柔。本是最愚最笨的男子，他说得文章秀丽，诗赋精通。人若听信他花言巧语，往往误了万千大事。他只望人厚礼，不管什么阴德。当日婶婶在时，结交一个卖花张秋嫂，我去寻他来商量，他作事忠厚。”
                                                                                                                                                                夫人喜道：“如此甚好，只是这事一时不能就绪，还要二叔在家几时，调停个下落，方可回庄。”
