Act II

Scene I

Cleonte, Arrow.

Cleonte! You bad bag, where have you been? I'm not telling you ...

Arrow: Yes, young master, I've been waiting for you here, but the old man was so unreasonable that he kicked me out and almost beat me.

how's Cleonte? The situation is getting more and more urgent. During this period when I didn't see you, I found that my father was my rival in love.

Mr. arrow is in love?

yes, Cleonte, I was so confused when I heard this that I finally didn't let him see it.

arrow is in love, too! What's his idea? Are you deliberately against people? Is love for such people?

Cleonte, I must have done evil, and he got this lovesickness.

arrow, why did you keep it from him?

Cleonte, lest he get suspicious, I'll find a trick to cancel this marriage at a critical moment. What did they say to you?

arrow, seriously! Master, people borrow money only when they are in trouble; As you are desperate, you have to cross the threshold of creditors, and you have to suffer some strange things.

Cleonte can't borrow money?

that's not what arrow said. The broker we deal with, Boss Simon, is active and warm-hearted. He said that he sells his strength for your business, and he is willing to help you just by your appearance.

Cleonte, will I have the fifteen thousand francs I asked for?

A Jian has it, but if you want things to succeed, there are several small conditions that can be accepted.

Cleonte, did he ask you to talk to someone who borrowed money?

arrow, ouch! You are really not good at it. There is no such thing. He hides himself more carefully than you do; There are some secret things that you can't expect. People won't give his first and last name at all. They plan to let him talk to you in a borrowed house today and ask you about your industry and your family. I believe that the deal will be made with the name of the old man alone.

Cleonte, especially my mother, is dead. No one can take away the property she left me.

A Jian, this is the clause that he dictated to the middleman. I want you to read it before trading:

"It is assumed that the lender has fully guaranteed, and the borrower has reached adulthood, is well-off, and the industry is reliable, safe and reliable, and there is no dispute. Both parties can only conclude an accurate and accurate contract under the supervision of a notary public. The notary must be absolutely honest. For this reason, it should be chosen by the lender. Because the receipt is in compliance with the procedures, it has the greatest relationship with the lender. "

Cleonte, there's nothing to say.

A Jian "In order to avoid any anxiety in conscience, the lender suggests that the loan should be calculated at eighteen and one interest." [eighteen, one profit] is 5.5% dolly.

eighteen Cleontes and one profit! Ok! Fair and reasonable, there is nothing to complain about.

what a Jian said is. "But the lender doesn't have this money at hand. In order to meet the needs of the borrower, I have to split it into five, one profit [five, one profit]. Borrow from others, so the borrower should bear the interest before and after, because the lender borrows only to help the borrower. "

what about Cleonte? Damn it! He is a Jew, which means a usurer. Or Arabs? [Arabs] refers to barbarians. Compared with four, one profit [four, one profit] means two points and five cents. Still high.

an arrow is pointing, that's what I said. You should check it carefully.

Cleonte, what do you want me to check? I am anxious to wait for the money; I have to accept any conditions.

arrow, that's how I answered him.

does Cleonte have any other requirements?

Arrow is just a small clause.

"The required fifteen thousand francs, the lender only has twelve thousand cash, and the remaining one thousand crowns, [one thousand crowns] is three thousand francs. In exchange for old clothes, sundries and jewelry, the price has been converted to the lowest price by the lender in good faith. The attached list is as follows "

Cleonte, what does this mean?

A Jian, listen to this list

"One: a four-legged bed with Hungarian embroidery, a sheet made of olive color, which is extremely elegant, with six chairs and protective sheets of the same color outside; All clean as new, and there are red and blue shiny satin along the edge.

"Another: a bed curtain made of dark rose red cross. Omar is in the northwest of France, near the sea. Produced, it is decorated with silk tassels of different sizes. " [Fringe] A spike-shaped ornament mounted on chariots, horses, terraces, tents, etc.

Cleonte, what does he want me to do with these things?

A Jian also has

"Also: Gongbao and MASAI's Music Map [Gongbao and MASAI's Music Map] There are eight couplets, including poems and paintings, which describe the daily life of a couple in the field from engagement to death, mainly Gongbao, which was quite popular in the early 17th century.

"Also: a large walnut table with two extendable ends, twelve columns or rotating columns with six small benches."

Cleonte, what do I need these things for?

Listen to me, Arrow.

"Also, the large musket [large musket] is an old-fashioned musket, which is very heavy. You have to put it on a shelf to aim. Three, inlaid with pearl shells, and three original shelves.

"Also: a brick stove, two distillers and three receivers, which are extremely useful for those who love distillation."

Cleonte pissed me off.

arrow, don't worry.

"Another: a Bologna pipa with complete strings and few missing.

"Also: the literal translation of the table should be" Lady's Cave ". There is a shelf on the table. There are 13 small holes on the table, and the numbers are written on it. The hole in the middle is 13, and 13 ivory balls are used to hit it. One is a chessboard, which is similar to the Goose Map (Goose Map) from the ancient Greeks. It has 63 squares, each with a map, and the center is the largest. Draw a goose and roll two dice for the play. The one who comes to the Goose Map first wins. One, killing time, is the most appropriate.

"another: a lizard skin, three and a half feet long, with hay in it, hanging from the ceiling, which is rare and pleasing to the eye.

"The real value of the above items is still more than 4,5 francs, and the lender tries to restrain himself, and the price is reduced to 1, crowns."

Cleonte "strives for self-denial", damn it! It is simply a profiteer and a murderer who kills people without seeing blood! Who has never heard of this kind of usury? The interest rate can't be higher, and he's not satisfied. Do you want me to accept the junk he picked up at 3, francs? I can't even sell six hundred francs when I get it. But what can we do? I still have to accept his terms, because he knows that I am eager for money, and the terms are cool and harsh, and I will accept it. Yes, scoundrel, he is killing himself.

Master Arrow, I didn't mean to say that you are on the right path. I think it is the character in Gao Kang Da and Fat Guan Er by Ba Lv Qi (Ba Lv Qi) and rabelais. Take the downhill road, advance money, buy expensive, sell cheap, live beyond one's means. In the next year, I ate the food for the first year, and used the income in advance. Metaphor can't make ends meet, just focus on the immediate difficulties, regardless of the future. Hang a brocade set.

Cleonte, what do you want me to do? This is what happens when the father is penniless and the young people are forced to take risks. No wonder the son wants to curse his father for his death.

A Jian loves money as much as his grandfather. I dare say that people who have the utmost self-restraint will get angry when they see it. Thank god, I'm not in the mood to go to the gallows My brothers like to do small and shady things. I'm not that stupid. I'll slip away when I say it. Those wonderful things they did were a little too close to the gallows, so I was careful not to join them. But then again, I really intend to steal him for what he did. I believe that stealing him can be said to be of great merit.

Cleonte, please give me this list and let me have another look.

Scene 2

Simon's boss, Albagon, Cleonte, Arrow.

Boss Simon (recognizing Cleonte and whispering to Albagon) Yes, sir, it's a young man waiting for money. He is in a hurry to find money, and he accepts all the terms you wrote.

Albagon is nothing but Simon, do you believe there is absolutely no risk? Do you know the name, property and family of the person you are talking about?

Boss Simon doesn't know that he was introduced to me by chance, so I can't tell you in detail about some situations yet, but he will explain them to you himself. The contact person told me that you will be satisfied after seeing him. All I can tell you is that his family is very rich, his mother is dead, and if necessary, he guarantees that his father will die in less than eight months.

arbagon is worth considering. Boss Simon, as long as we have the strength, we should be merciful and convenient to others.

boss Simon, of course.

A Jian (whispering to Cleonte) What's going on? Our broker, boss Simon, is talking to the old man.

Cleonte, will someone tell him who I'm from? Could it be that you are messing with me?

Simon's boss (arrows at A)! Ah! You are in a hurry! Who told you it was from here? (To Albagon) Sir, I didn't disclose your name and your residence to them. In fact, in my opinion, there is nothing too important. They are conscientious, so you can talk it out together here.

what about arbagon?

Boss Simon (pointing to Cleonte) The fifteen thousand francs I told you about is the gentleman who wants to borrow it from you.

what's wrong with arbagon, you idiot? So it was you who didn't do anything right and took a short-lived path?

Cleonte, what's wrong, Dad? So it's you who hurt the world and cheat your heart?

Albagon doesn't care whether he lives or dies. So it's you who borrows money at random?

Cleonte put money in stamps and got rich illegally, so it was you?

abagon, how dare you see me after such a thing?

Cleonte, how dare you see anyone after doing such a thing?

Albagon, tell me, are you ashamed to run amok like this, squander money and ruin everything your parents have saved for you through blood and sweat?

Cleonte, when you do this kind of business, you disgrace your identity. You dig in money after money. One day when you are not satisfied, you lose all your dignity and reputation. Even the loan sharks with the most notorious reputation are crazy and come up with all kinds of tricks. Compared with your methods of profiteering, they are not as demanding as you. Are you ashamed or not?

abagon son of a bitch, go away, I don't want to see you!

Cleonte, in your opinion, who is guilty? Is it a person who needs money to spend, or a person who steals money when he doesn't need money at all?

abagon, I told you, go away and don't make me angry. (a person) I am not sad about this; This is a warning to me: I should pay special attention to his every move in the future.

Act III

Scene I

Albagon, Cleonte, Alice, Farraire, Claude

Mom, Master Jacques, buckwheat stalks and dried cod.

all right, abagon, come here, and listen to me to arrange your work back, and assign your own affairs. Claude, mom, come here. I'll hit you first. (She holds a broom) Okay, you have a guy in your hand. I want you to clean the air and clean the furniture. Be careful, don't rub it too hard, or you'll get hurt or something. In addition, I want you to manage the wine bottle at dinner. If one bottle is missing and something is broken, I will settle accounts with you and deduct it from your salary.

master Jacques (narrator) shrewd punishment.

arbagon (to Claude's mother) go. (under Claude's mother) You, buckwheat stalks, and you, dried cod, your job is to clean the cups and pour the wine; But be careful, only when people are thirsty. Some followers are not sensible, and they come to persuade people to drink. Without thinking, they remind people to drink: this habit cannot be learned. If you want to pour, you have to be asked more than once before you pour. And remember to always pour more water into it.

master Jacques (narrator) yes, pure wine should be served on the head.

Mr. dried cod, shall we take off our jackets?

when abagon sees someone coming, you can take them off again. After you take it off, be careful not to get your clothes dirty.

Mr. Buckwheat Stalk, you know, there is a big oil stain on the front of my uniform.

dried cod and, sir, there is a hole in the back of my knickerbockers. Don't take offense at my rude remarks, sir, but you can see my ...

Albagon, stop. Try to turn your back to the wall and always hit people with your face. That's it. (Albagon takes the hat of buckwheat stalks and puts it in front of the uniform to teach him how to cover the oil stains.) How about you? You always hold your hat like this when serving guests. (Two attendants) As for you, daughter, take good care of what you have withdrawn, and be careful not to spoil it. It is appropriate for girls to do this. But you have to be ready to entertain my lover. She will come to visit you and take you shopping together. Did you hear what I said?

Alice heard you, Dad.

..................

Farraire, help me think more. Hey, Jacques, come here. I'll save you for the last time.

master Jacques, I am your coachman and your cook. which one do you want to talk to?

Albagon talks to the two.

master Jacques is only two, which one comes first?

chef arbagon.

master Jacques, please wait. (He takes off his coachman's uniform to reveal the cook's costume)

Albagon guy! What is this smelly?

master Jacques, you are in charge now.

Arbagonyak, I have an appointment to invite someone to dinner today.

master Jacques (aside) what a rare thing!

tell me about arbagon.
