Translating Sloth

 The Chen family were hypocrites, in order to conceal the truth, they chose a good fortune piece of land, burying He Qianhu and the He sisters together there, three gravestones were erected. The first few years they would send people to offer sacrifices on Qingming day, giving a performance for people to see, afterwards on seeing no one asked about the two He orphans, the Chen family didn’t even bother putting on an appearance, no one took care of the tomb, the grass on the burial mound were taller than people, it got to the extent that rabbits have made a burrow in the mound as their nest. Lu Ying command his subordinates to dig up the tomb and open the coffin that night to confirm that the He sisters had indeed passed away. Maybe young lady He who had been maltreated by her former fiancee noticed this, the first time the shovel hit the soil, thunder shook the sky followed by lightning, in an instant the night sky was lit up, even the slender fibres of the grass on the burial moun...

  Lu Ying asked when he heard this: “Chen Dailang lacked morals, he secretly married an official slave and impregnated her?” Wang Da Xia chuckled: “Chen Qianhu father and son both dying is beneficial to the illegitimate child. If that fiancee official slave gave birth to a son, the Chen family has only had one heir for the last five generations, then that illegitimate son will inherit the position of embroidered uniform guard Qianhu. If the Chen family doesn’t accept him, the position will be cancelled by the imperial court for not having a successor. The Chen family will have to pinch their nose and accept him.” Lu Ying felt it was not worth thinking, “Rubbish, let’s not mention if young lady He gave birth to a boy or girl, whether they’re alive. Killing one’s father and even one’s grandfather for the position, this is too much of a fantasy.” “Lord Lu comes from a good household, the children get along with each other, leader Lu would of course feel I’m speaking rubbish.” Wang Da ...

  Beijing, southern city, Jiangmi lane, embroidered uniform guard office. Office of transmission, Court of Imperial sacrifices, Ministry of Criminal Justice and other large departments were located around there, at dusk the offices all closed successively, the officials locked up their official seals and went home. Literary officials sat in palanquin, military officials rode on horses, and the higher officials sat in gorgeous carriages, the entire journey very lavish. Mu Baihu and others still guarded outside the embroidered uniform guard office, anxiously waiting, however they didn’t see Wang Da Xia at all, again and again they urged the embroidered uniform guards to let him go, Lu Ying couldn’t bear being disturbed, telling a lie, “We let him go long ago, he’s good at being sneaky, at some point he stole a set of our clothes, dressed up in disguise, he had long ago slipped away under your eyes.” Hearing this Mu Baihu felt this was definitely something “good” that Wang Da Xia woul...

 Wei Cai Wei pushed Wang Da Xia away. Wang Da Xia only felt a soft little fist hitting him in the chest, it didn’t hurt at all, this wasn’t the first time they’ve been in physical contact. Last night when he had slipped off the ladder, Wei Cai Wei had held his head and waist preventing him from disfiguring his face from the fall. A widow, disregarding her own reputation to save him.  Wang Da Xia concluded from this, the young widow still considered me as a substitute of her deceased husband Wang Erlang from the memorial tablet, last night she had not succeeded in being a pillow, hearing I want to go to Miss Ying Ying, she’s jealous, that’s why she pushed me. However I am the substitute of Wang Erlang, the young widow loves the house and its crow, so she wasn’t willing to push him hard, weakly reaching out her hand, it was like a tickle. This was also fine. Letting the young widow realise I’m not willing to be a substitute for her dead husband, she’ll give up sooner. That’s why...
