If you want to take the exam in the capital in advance, it will definitely not be the only Wang family, but even more so half a year in advance. Today, the Wang family and his entourage were on the road for less than half a month, and they met a candidate who wanted to enter Beijing in advance to take the exam, but fell ill on the road at the roadside post station in Lulin Mansion.

They had all the kitchen utensils, and they could cook their own meals outside, but after a day's journey, everyone was a little tired, so they didn't want to do it, so they entered the post station and wanted to order food at the post station. As soon as the family walked through the front porch into the main hall to eat, they saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with a hairstyle of the general horn, and begged the shopkeeper bitterly: "Grandpa! Please, go and ask my son-in-law to have a doctor again!" My son-in-law just threw up again, and his body is still very hot! ”

The old shopkeeper sighed and replied helplessly to the child: "It's not that I don't want to go to the doctor to come and see your son-in-law!" I've already invited you twice, and the doctor came, and the first time I paid you for the medicine and the doctor's money, but this time you still didn't get the money. If you can't give the consultation fee to the doctor in advance, the doctor won't come. If you always have to help me pay, the little old man really can't afford it! Last time, Xiao Lao'er had already given more than one or two silver for medicine, which was Xiao Lao'er's offering for more than a month! If Xiao Lao'er can help you now, he won't charge you for your room, and give you a bite to eat, and I really can't give anything else. You must also know that if you catch up with the private inn, you don't even dare to give this accommodation, for fear that your son-in-law has three longs and two shorts, which will ruin their business. ”

The boy knew that what the old shopkeeper said was reasonable, but he really didn't know who he could ask for but the kind old man who was willing to help them!

The uncle of the Wang family is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. As soon as I heard the two sentences, I knew that the child's son-in-law was sick, but he had no money for treatment, and the shopkeeper was willing to help. But he couldn't do it. The uncle wanted to help when he saw the situation, but he knew rationally that his nephew and niece-in-law should come forward to deal with everything when he was away from home. Xiaohu took people to the back to place the carriage and horses, and he turned his head to look at his niece and daughter-in-law, and called out in a low voice: "Xiaohu daughter-in-law!?" ”

When the uncle stopped and didn't leave, Er Ya guessed the uncle's mind almost perfectly. At this time, the uncle turned his head to look at himself again, and he didn't think he didn't see it. But let yourself take the initiative to care about someone you don't know at all. She couldn't do it, so she pretended not to understand what the uncle meant, and smiled slightly. He also pointed to the middle of the hall and walked straight to the empty tables. The uncle was stunned for a moment, thinking that maybe Xiaohu's daughter-in-law didn't understand what he meant, so he followed everyone to the four-room dining table and sat down. whispered to Erya: "Little tiger daughter-in-law! You see, this kid is quite pitiful. Can we help? ”

"Huh? Oh! Yes! When Xiaohu comes back, we will discuss! Since the uncle said it directly, Erya couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, but she still felt that it was appropriate for Xiaohu to handle this matter.

Uncle immediately nodded and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Okay!" It's me who is in a hurry, and this matter should be handled by Xiaohu. ”

When Xiaohu entered the hall, the child who begged the shopkeeper to no avail had already returned to the guest room in tears. Erya said succinctly that the uncle wanted to help a sick tenant here. Let him find out.

"That's right! When you enter the ward, be sure to wear a mask! "The mask in Erya's mouth is made of 16 layers of gauze. The main purpose is to protect against the cold, and here of course, it is also to prevent germs.

Xiaohu responded: "Hey! I know that! ”

Since the uncle wants to take care of this matter, besides, this person is sick, no matter how big or small, he can't always drag it out, otherwise a minor illness can kill someone. So, Xiaohu didn't wait for the food to be served, so he went to do it first.

Xiaohu first went to the shopkeeper to understand the situation: "Uncle shopkeeper!" My family says someone at the inn is sick, but it matters? ”

The shopkeeper thought that they disliked that there were patients living in the inn, so he immediately explained: "Guest, you can live at ease." This guest is either affecting other people's illness, or entering Beijing to catch the exam, but the luggage and silver are called by the hired coachman to steal a fine light, he is angry and anxious to break his body, not really sick. Otherwise, the little old man wouldn't dare to keep him to live here! ”

When Xiaohu heard that there was such an evil thing, he frowned and asked, "Is there a report to the official?" ”

The old shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "What's the use of reporting to the official?" I listened to the little boy tell me about the cause and effect, and I guessed that nine times out of ten, it was the mother-in-law of this family who secretly made the means. I don't want this concubine to get ahead! ”

"This" Xiaohu paused for a moment, and then continued: "I never thought there was such a secret, but I just heard my uncle say that just now Xiaotong asked for a doctor to come and take a look, why don't you invite one!" I will pay for the consultation and medicine. No matter what the reason, you can't do it like this all the time! ”

The shopkeeper didn't seem to understand the guest officer's words, looked up at Xiaohu incomprehensibly, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he responded happily: "Hey! Okay, that's going to be invited! Guest, you're such a nice guy! "At the end, I didn't forget to praise it.

The doctor invited them, and Xiaohu and the others had almost eaten, so they followed the doctor to the patient's room to have a look. The condition is indeed as the shopkeeper said, one is the anger attacking the heart, and the other is that the depression cannot be relieved, and the heart is too hot to cause fever, and the body is getting worse and worse. "If he keeps doing this and can't see it for himself, he will completely collapse one day!" Before leaving, the doctor couldn't help but shake his head and nag!

Looking at the little young man lying on the bed with no sadness or joy on his face, Xiaohu's mood was also dull. This child does not look as old as Xiaolong, at most eighteen or nine years old, and he does not even wear a crown of hair, so he must not have reached the age of a crown. But if you are so young, you should only be high-spirited and energetic, but this young man is a desireless man of life and death.

Xiaohu looked heavy and angry in his heart, and said to the person on the bed with a little anger: "Just such a blow can make you like this, so you dare to go to the capital to participate in the meeting examination and the palace examination?" If you are a jinshi and can become an official, you will be attacked in the future. That's a lot more clever and vicious than this, how are you going to deal with it? Is it like today, lying in bed and begging for death? If you'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning. We will take you into the capital together, and we can always ask you to take the entrance examination next year. If not, then we will not force you to take you away, lest you turn to blame us for trouble. After Xiaohu finished speaking, he went out without staying for half a minute.

I don't know if the young man on the bed heard what Xiaohu said, but the little boy already understood. Excited tears, while gently shaking the young man who was not moving on the bed: "Childe! You can hear that there are good people willing to take you to the capital. The shopkeeper's grandfather has already asked the second brother to help boil the medicine. Don't vomit or drink for a while. You must hold back and try to get out of bed tomorrow. Good no good? ”

The person on the bed opened his mouth for a long time, and said weakly: "What's the use of going to the capital?" There are no more documents required for the exam, and even if you go to the capital, there is no way to participate. ”

The boy jumped up excitedly. He whispered, "Childe! Are you sick for the sake of that Muwen?! Ah! My good son! Didn't he ask the shopkeeper to take it as soon as he entered the inn. Did you say that you would bet it on him, and you would not get it back until you had paid off the money when you left? ”

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and he sat up from the bed, and instantly fell down with dizziness, and then sat up again, his voice trembling with excitement: "Yes!" Right! How did I forget? It's saved! Hahaha! She wanted to ruin me, and she controlled me all my life, but unfortunately even God helped me. Hahaha! Rifle! Your son-in-law will definitely win this time, you see! Even God can't see her viciousness. Be on my side! Hahaha"

Laifu was so frightened that he quickly helped Gongzi to lie down, and nervously persuaded: "Childe, you are weak now!" Don't get too excited, lest your health get worse and you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow! ”

His son-in-law shed tears and nodded to comfort Laifu: "Don't worry, I thought that this life would be like this, and I would never be able to escape the palm of that woman's hand, so I didn't have the heart to sleep well and take medicine well." Not this time, as long as I get a good night's sleep tonight, I'll be on my way tomorrow. It's just that we don't have any money, but what can we do? You can't always rely on others for help. ”

"Childe! Let's go to the capital first, maybe we can think of a way to make money there. ”

"Hmmm! You're right, I'll get a good night's sleep first, and you can get busy! His son-in-law said that he was about to rub it down, and lifted the quilt up to get ready for a good night's sleep. But the boy stopped: "Oops! Childe, you wait a while to sleep, the medicine will be cured soon, you drink the medicine and eat some porridge before sleeping! ”

Childe, who was in a good mood, nodded with a smile and whispered, "Hmm! But the eyelids were disobediently glued together.

said that this little boy did not lie to his son-in-law, and his documents were really staked by the shopkeeper. At that time, it was also a coincidence, the shopkeeper asked them whether to bet on the silver or the money, and the coachman was afraid that the silver would be charged, so he rushed to say that the money was charged, but he did not expect that his greed saved the life of the man.

The next day, Xiaohu saw that the young man was really holding on, and knew that he wanted to go with them, so he helped settle all their previous house money, and helped the old shopkeeper to settle the medical money he had paid before. The man was next to him, holding a pen and paper, and remembered the accounts one by one.

When the uncle saw it next to him, he said kindly: "This son, you don't have to remember!" We don't want you to pay the bill! ”

The man blushed and replied in a low voice: "The debt always has to be repaid, you don't want to ask for it, but I should think about giving." Just because you didn't want it, I shouldn't be prepared to pay it back. ”

When Xiaohu heard this, he turned his head to look, and when he saw what he said solemnly, he remembered what his daughter-in-law said, and the heart of the scholar is high, so don't think about helping them for free, otherwise in their eyes, it is charity, but they are forced to beg. It's very undignified!

So, he said to the person who was still keeping the accounts: "Remember! When you get the middle jinshi, this debt is nothing, and you can afford to pay it back! ”

The man nodded while keeping accounts: "Hmm! Regardless of whether you can be promoted to the sergeant or not, whether you can afford to pay back your life-saving grace, but I have to find a way to pay off this money no matter what! ”

Xiaohu smiled, it's hard to say anything! But in my heart, I feel that this person is right, there are some things you can say that you can't afford to repay, but if you can't afford to pay back this bit of money, it's a matter of character. (To be continued......)
