Chapter 2: The Hearts of the World (II)

Fan Hong walked out of the Rugui Inn, then turned north, looked at Chongwen Gate, and then planned to enter the inner city from Chongwen Gate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't take a few steps before he heard footsteps behind him, and the young man from the inn chased after him.

In the eyes of Fan Hongdao and Fan Daxiucai, this Wang shopkeeper was really worried, how could he escape debts?

Thinking of this, Fan Hongdao couldn't help but convert. The monthly income of an ordinary helper in this era was about one or two or five yuan, and if this ratio was followed, a few dollars of silver would be equivalent to a few hundred yuan in the 21st century.

Fan Hongdao came to the capital this time, and the main purpose was to defect to an uncle surnamed Qin. This uncle is an official of Jing County, as long as he helps a little, the arrears of a few coins of silver should be nothing.

It is said that since Fan Hongdao's father died three years ago, the Fan family has been more difficult, and a few acres of thin land are only enough to support his mother, so Fan Hongdao himself has to think of another way to make a living. At this time, he remembered his father's friend Lord Qin, so he set off for Beijing.

This Lord Qin has a good relationship with his father, and he is commensurate with himself as an uncle and nephew, which can be regarded as a relationship that can be entrusted to him in this era. Not to mention that Lord Qin was shy when he rushed to take the exam, and his father also contributed money to subsidize it, and later it seems that the two families had an oral marriage contract, I don't know if I can count it now, but for Fan Hongdao today, of course this marriage contract doesn't matter.

Thinking about the wording after meeting with Uncle Qin Shi, and walking a few more steps, Fan Hongdao suddenly felt dizzy, which was obviously caused by too much hunger.

He turned to the young man who was following him and asked, "Do you have any money with you?" Lend me a few pennies to buy two breads to satisfy your hunger." ”

Seeing the young man's hesitation, Fan Hongdao said again: "When I visit relatives and friends to ask for assistance, double the repayment of you!" Faced with the temptation of heavy profits, the young man gritted his teeth and took out a few copper plates and handed them to Fan Hongdao.

After eating a few bites indiscriminately and relieving his hunger a little, Fan Hongdao continued to move forward and entered the inner city from Chongwen Gate. At this time, the capital is divided into inside and outside, the old nine gates are called the inner city, and the newly built southern city of the Jiajing Dynasty is called the outer city.

The entire capital is divided into two counties along the central axis, the western half is Wanping County, and the eastern half belongs to Daxing County. The two Beijing county officials are one grade higher than the ordinary county officials, and today Fan Hongdao is going to visit the Daxing County Cheng Qin Lord, who is the seventh grade.

The county government of Daxing County is located in the northwest of the imperial city, which is closer to Andingmen. While searching and inquiring, by the time Fan Hongdao found the county office, it was already afternoon. Fan Hongdao couldn't help but be glad that he had borrowed a few pennies earlier to satisfy his hunger, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether he would be able to survive until this moment.

Today is not the day of the announcement, although there is a lot of people at the gate of the county government, it is not chaotic. Fan Hongdao walked through the gate first, and saw that he was dressed like a scholar, and no one stopped him.

When he arrived at the second gate again, Fan Hongdao found a servant who acted as a doorman, reported his history, said that he was visiting the county master Qin, and handed over a handwritten letter as a famous post.

When the disciple heard that Fan Hongdao was the old junior of Qin County Cheng, he didn't make things difficult or ask for benefits, so he turned around and went into the inner office to report to Qin County Cheng.

After about a cup of tea, he came out again, but his face changed, and he pointed at Fan Hongdao and shouted: "Master Qin said, I never know any nephews of the Fan family!

Fan Hongdao was taken aback, he never expected such an encounter, and the old friend of his father, whom he called Uncle Shi, actually turned himself away! He had forgotten all the friendship of the previous generation and the kindness his father had given him back then?

In addition to being stunned, Fan Hongdao was also puzzled in his heart, the scholar's sophistication is the most important façade kung fu, no matter what he thinks in his heart, whether he is willing to help or not, he has to do enough façade kung fu, how can he directly treat it as if he didn't know and drove away?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Fan Hongdao remembered something, his father seemed to have a children's marriage contract with this Qin County Cheng verbally, could it be that the problem was here?

But Fan Hongdao still has something to understand, even if Qin Xiancheng wants to regret it when he sees the Fan family down, he won't drive himself away so simply and rudely.

It's just a matter of a few words, and it's very simple to unravel, so why not meet yourself?

Unless it involves greater interests, it will never be like this! After thinking about it again, Fan Hongdao deduced that Qin Xiancheng might have another marriage contract with someone else, and it was a very profitable marriage contract, so he would be so sensitive to reject himself!

At this juncture, Qin Xiancheng was worried that his appearance would be bad, so it was better to have more than one thing, so he simply pretended not to know himself and sent away as a passerby!

After probably thinking about it, a sense of injustice kept churning in his chest, and Fan Hongdao smiled angrily: "Okay, good, the hearts of the people in the world, it is like this! You go and ask Master Qin, if it wasn't for his father who funded him to take the exam back then, how could Master Qin be an official today?"

Menzi rolled his eyes, but didn't move.

Fan Hongdao was always sullen in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout and scold at the second gate of the county government: "Qin Gaoye, I don't want to meet an ungrateful person like you, just feed all the kindness of my father to the dog back then!"

At this moment, five or six officials with water and fire sticks poured out of the door, and the leader of them shouted: "Who is making a noise here?

Obviously, he came prepared, and even someone instructed him in advance, otherwise Fan Hongdao had just screamed twice, how could such a neat man appear so quickly?

Fan Hongdao believes that if he continues to scold, these officials will definitely not be polite, and they will definitely beat themselves into lost dogs.

This is the gate of the county government, and Fan Hongdao's reason also told himself that he would definitely not be able to please him when he fought. Now it's just a noise, and if you do it, it will be even more troublesome to be charged with fighting. So after thinking about it, I had to retreat.

Back on the street outside the county yamen, the innkeeper's face was very unsightly, Fan Hongdao realized a very real problem, he still owed the inn, and borrowed a few pennies from the guy this morning, what should I do now?

To be honest, Fan Hongdao is not calm about debts in his heart, and he doesn't like this feeling of owing others very much. Especially the feeling that I just swore to the innkeeper in the morning that I would repay the money, and I lost my trust in the blink of an eye.

Originally, he pinned his hopes on Qin County's assistance and did not take this debt to heart, but this road was unexpectedly blocked. In addition, I am not familiar with the place, and where can I find money to pay off my debts in a hurry?

Even if you go to find a good errand, it is not a matter of one or two days, can you continue to starve for two days? In the longer run, do you want to stay in the capital, or choose the opportunity to return home?

Thinking of this, Fan Daxiucai was also a little irritable, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: The ancients said that a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and today is a letter! A thousand days at home are good, but it is difficult to go out for half a day, and I also believe in my husband!

The only way to do this is to go back to the inn first, and Fan Hongdao is helpless. But before going back to the inn, let this breath out first, you can't come all the way to be humiliated!

As the so-called geese have left a voice, if you don't leave any traces, your heart will be difficult to calm down, and your thoughts will not be accessible!
