第一章邬可成继娶小桂姐(1/2)

诗曰：结下冤家必聚头，聚头谁不惹风流；从来怨遂思中起，不染相思直甚仇。
                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                俚言提过。话说江南镇江府城内，出了一件故事。这人姓邬名可成，是这一府的第一家财主。年方三十一岁，气相浑厚，体态丰俊。这年来，因元配张氏病故，那媒人议来与他议亲的，一个不了一个，每日来往不断。真来世上人，眼皮子是薄的，凡家有中有大闺女的，恐怕一时送不上门去。邬可成只与媒人说：“须一个天姿国色的女子，方可成就。却不论家中穷富，陪送多少。”媒人叩头去了。一路上想着，止有城外凤凰楼前，盖官人之女，姿色绝世，风雅不凡，堪作匹配。不免到他家一说，为是如何？
                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                原来这盖官人，名叫盖明，祖居河南，彰德府人氏。因贸易至此下户，欠了家下，虽不甚富，也颇有些过活。听得媒人与他提亲事，再三说道：“邬人若果续往，只管使的；若娶为妾，决不应承！”媒人道：“委实要娶一位夫人，休得见乱。”盖明与妇人周氏商议妥当，可下允了。媒人告辞，出得门来，即时走到邬家，见了可成，将盖家亲事禀上。可成满心欢喜，择定日期，打点缎疋、钗环，聘金三百两，送到盖家。盖明厚办装奁。堪堪到了吉期，周氏妇人将女儿齐齐正正，打扮得十分娇滴。这女儿因是八月十五生辰，取名桂姐，方年二九。
                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                是夜，又兼夜朦昧，衬的艳治之态，就如那月里嫦娥一般。真正是：明月照妆美裙钗，行来引佩下理台。门外帘前懒款步，娇声融冶下台阶。云环仿佛金钗堕，不肯抬起脸儿来。
                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                是夜，漏下三更，忽听门外鼓乐齐鸣，邬可成前，还拥拥挤挤，引着桂姐上了花轿，登时要过门去了。不免礼生唱礼，交拜天地，诸亲六眷，前来贺酒筵，一天至晚，方才散了。可成与新人除冠脱衣，把新人一看。正是：比花花解语
