Chapter 15: A Test of Mind
"Big brother, you really have to go from here to Qingyun Temple, here is thousands of miles away from Qingyun Temple, you go on foot, you must arrive in March, this is deliberately difficult, big brother might as well follow his younger brother to take care of Kefu's business in Shangling City, wouldn't it be happy to have fine clothes and jade food", Ke Ming's worried words were sternly rejected by Ke Xun;
"The eldest brother acts above board, since he has promised the two real people, he must arrive within three months, this is a person's belief", "Yes, I think what Gongzi Ke said is right", the beggars immediately agreed;
Ke Ming knew that he was powerless to refute, so he had to compromise, "Since the eldest brother is making a decision, then be careful in everything, the eldest brother has a smooth journey", "Ke Gongzi has a smooth journey";
"Let's go back!", let's say! He turned around in a dashing manner, raised his legs and walked in the direction of Qingyunguan, "This trip is thousands of miles away, take care of your eldest brother, Kefu I will definitely rebuild the glory of the past", Ke Ming said to himself, but his words were indeed right by him.

The wind and rain are blowing, the sun rises and sets, and before he knows it, Ke Xun has gone a long way, where is he still a rich and noble son at this time, his hair is unkempt, his body is full of smell, and he looks like a beggar, but because he is wearing silk, he is incompatible with him at this time;
"What kind of place is this place", Ke Xun bowed down and asked the old man in front of him, "Even, this is Red Maple City, named after the red leaf forest on the mountain north of the city", "Thank you, old man, farewell in my late life", this Red Maple City has beautiful scenery, but Ke Xun can't stop and admire, which is actually a kind of torture for a talented man who is rich and rich.
"Scholars and talents who have passed by, the store is open today, the owner seeks to open a couplet, I hope you will not hesitate to teach, if the article is satisfied, you can eat a table for free in Ruyi Building, and give a hundred taels as an honorarium", if you come to the person, it can be said that it is very attractive;
"Is Wang Hu real?," it turns out that the one who spoke is called Wang Hu," Ke Xun said;
After hearing Ke Xun's muttering, the people next to him knew that Ke Xun's words were mixed with the accent of outsiders, so they spontaneously talked to Ke Xun about Wang Hu, "This Wang Hu is the housekeeper of the Wang family in Hongfeng City, half of the business in Hongfeng City is run by the Wang family, and the lord of the Wang family is also a good person, and he is usually very kind to everyone, you see that the one sitting there is the Wang master";
The man hurriedly pointed to this old man, seeing that this person's face was ruddy, the heavenly court was full and round, his ears were big, and he had a look of happiness and longevity;
"Thank you friends for telling me and saying goodbye", Ke Xun clasped his hands into fists and saluted and turned around and left, he had no overnight money, and Ke Xun didn't have the one hundred taels he wanted, so he hurried away.
"Old fellow, let your daughter stay with me for one night, and the debt between you and me will be written off", the speaker's hands and feet were not idle at the moment;
"Don't, hit my father, don't beat my father", the woman knelt on the ground and pleaded, it seemed to have no effect, but instead the different thugs laughed;
"Please let my daughter go", the old man also knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Look at this bully is bullying people again, alas, this woman is afraid that she will be ruined", there was little discussion in the crowd;
At this moment, Ke Xun on the side came forward, "You dare to force a good person to be a prostitute under the blue sky and daylight, what is your intention", hearing that someone was meddling, the ruffian turned to look at Ke Xun, and said somehow: "These two people owe the money to the master, and they can't afford to pay it back, so they can only buy his daughter", as soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd;
"Their father and daughter owe you less money", it was Ke Xun who spoke, "Hey, there are people who are not afraid of death, they owe the master a hundred taels, why do you want to pay it back, it is a problem to see that you eat by yourself, how to get a hundred taels, haha......", full of teasing;
"I only asked you to borrow one tael, how did it become a hundred taels", the old man argued;
"Look for death, give me a beating, I don't want interest! My brothers don't live!", when the thugs were about to make a move, Ke Xun shouted: "I'll give a hundred taels slowly, I want the silver to come with me", Ke Xun spoke again, "Okay, I'll see what tricks you play, brothers take this father and daughter, I won't be able to get the money for a while, big brother, I want to be happy at night, go", and then followed, and the people watching next to him also followed, watching the show.
The vegetables are not strange, and the chef skillfully makes ten kinds of brocade;
The wine and meat are really delicious, and customers can smell the fragrance of five miles;
"Yes, yes, only Li Xiucai of Red Maple City can write such a couplet, this is a hundred taels, please smile", Master Wang said gratefully,
Just as Li Xiucai was about to accept the honorarium, a voice broke Li Xiucai's joy, "I have a couplet, I don't know if Master Wang can take a look", it was Ke Xun who spoke, because to save the father and daughter, the fastest way to save a hundred taels is to exchange the couplet.
"I don't know what to call the son", Master Wang got up and asked, because Ke Xun gave him a different feeling, and there was a kind of domineering spirit of a king on his body, although Ke Xun looked sloppy at this time, Lord Wang had to pay attention to it, "Junior Ke Xun, but the remuneration of this couplet should be mentioned as two hundred taels, I don't know if Master Wang is willing", Ke Xun said unhurriedly.
"Where did you come to call Huazi, such a tone", Li Xiucai asked dissatisfiedly, the money is also in hand, and being disturbed by others, no one feels good, not to mention that it is one hundred taels!, "Li Xiucai must not be in a hurry, just two hundred taels according to Gongzi Ke's words, if you are not satisfied, I will pay you two hundred taels, use your couplet", Master Wang hurriedly played a round, "Ke Gongzi, please put it, the four treasures of the study room are served", Steward Wang hurriedly ordered, and he didn't have any eyesight, and I still thought how he sat in the position of the head of the Wang family.
At this moment, Ke Xun came to the table, calmed down and thought a little, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and in an instant, a couplet jumped on the paper;
Welcome guests from all over the world like clouds,
Gathered all over the world and Kyushu guests and friends,
Someone couldn't help but read out this article, "Good text!, wonderful text, it seems that Ke Gongzi is a talented person, and this calligraphy attainment is also quite high", Master Wang is full of sighs!, "I have written a couplet with Master Wang, I don't know if the honorarium can be given now", Ke Xun interrupted Lord Wang's greetings, "Butler, Ke Gongzi's remuneration is served", Master Wang personally handed over the money to Ke Xun, "Ke Gongzi's article is better than the talent below, admire it in the next, and leave it", said!
Ke Xun took two hundred taels and walked in front of the father and daughter, and handed one hundred taels of them to the bully, "From this moment on, this father and daughter don't owe you anything", "Okay, I like to be cheerful, brothers go, don't be embarrassed for this father and daughter in the future", why the bully is so free and easy, the reason is that he, like Master Wang, feels the kingly aura exuded by Ke Xun;
"This one hundred taels, your father and daughter will take it to do some small business and raise the family!", "Thank you benefactor", the father and daughter kept kowtowing, "Get up!" Ke Xun was hungry for the two, "I should also go, take care, Master Wang won the table of banquets and gave them to the father and daughter", after speaking, the person had already left far away, "Engong, I must repay you", the person who spoke was the woman Qiuxia;
At this time, Ke Xun once again embarked on the journey to Qingyunguan, and he couldn't delay for a moment, because time did not allow, and he was doing things to save people along the way......;
In a quiet courtyard, an old Taoist and a monk are playing against each other, "This son has a good heart, not bad", Lao Dao touched his beard and muttered to himself.
