The three brothers of the Pan family, the eldest Pan Changxi is the most capable.

When the shopkeeper Pan was not at home, Pan Changxi had the final say on the counter.

Don't look at Pan Changsheng dressed very brightly, he went out and called him Shaodong, in fact, he was very aggrieved, and if he wanted to take some money from the counter to eat and drink with friends, he had to look at the faces of the shopkeeper Pan and Pan Changxi. He didn't dare to quarrel with Lao Tzu, but because of money, he quarreled with Pan Changxi a lot, and once he drank too much and even went crazy and fought with Pan Changxi.

The reason why Shopkeeper Pan asked him to go to the capital with Han Xiufeng to confess was also because he couldn't let him be idle like this anymore.

But Pan Changsheng didn't think that Pan Changxi was really worried about him, slapped his thigh with a folding fan, shook his head and said: "Big brother, a good man has ambitions in all directions, and he always nests in this poor mountain and remote land, what can he do?" Why did we suffer such a big dumb loss today, in the final analysis, we have never seen the world, and we believe Han Yucai's nonsense. I went to the capital with Han Si to confess, and I happened to see and understand. If he can fill the gap, becoming an official, and being a long-term follower for him is also a livelihood. ”

"What if Han Si can't make up for the lack and can't be an official?"

"Then come back, you can't die in a foreign country."

"It's easy to say, you don't want to think about it, he is going to the capital, not the county seat, have you ever thought about how many plates you have to use this time and again?"

"Big brother, it turns out that you are worried about this!" Pan Changsheng was unhappy, stood up suddenly, pointed at Pan Changxi and roared: "I know that you can't see me spend some money, my father is still sitting here, this family can't be your turn Pan Changxi!" Besides, my father asked me to go with Han Si, so that you forgot who your self-sufficient child was after a few days, and you didn't even listen to your father's words! ”

"Okay, okay, are you trying to me off to death?" The shopkeeper Pan got up, pointed to the two sons and scolded: "It's all said that the family is prosperous, you are good, you are noisy behind closed doors, noisy when the door is open, and you are not afraid of spreading other people's jokes!" ”

"Dad, you've seen and heard all of this today, it's not that I want to argue, it's that the eldest brother has gone too far!"

"I'm going too far, I'm just talking about things!"

Shopkeeper Pan was angry, and said with a straight face: "Changxi, don't say a few words!" I let Changsheng and Han Si go to the capital to confess, and it is better to go out to see and see than to be idle at home. ”

Pan Changsheng felt very aggrieved, and said with a bitter face: "Dad, it's not that I want to be idle, it's the matter on the counter that you don't let me interfere!" ”

"Let you meddle, let you meddle in this house has already been lost by you!" Shopkeeper Pan glared at him fiercely, and said earnestly: "Changsheng, you are already twenty years old, you have married your mother-in-law and have a baby, and you should know something about being a father." Go to the capital for thousands of miles, live in peace along the way, listen to Han Si for everything, don't make trouble again. The outside is not as good as a horse, if you provoke someone who can't be provoked, your legs will be discounted. ”

"Dad, don't worry, I won't cause trouble."

"Listen to me," thinking that this unworrying son is also his own flesh and blood, and he was also very cute when he was a child, Pan's shopkeeper felt sour, and pulled him to sit beside him and said with tears: "Changsheng, let you go out so far, Dad is not at ease, but if you don't let you go out, it's always so idle!" When you go out, you must know that you are self-sufficient, take care of your self-sufficiency, and don't be reckless no matter what happens......"

"I know, I'm not a three-year-old." Pan Changsheng was said to be very impatient, and asked eagerly: "Dad, what do you say about the entanglement, you can't help but give me some entanglement when you go out like this." ”

"The poor are rich, and they will definitely give it, and they will give it enough." Shopkeeper Pan pondered for a moment, patted his arm and explained: "I'll go to the city in a few days to get the ticket number and change some silver tickets, and I'll make you five hundred taels." But you have to hide it, don't let Han Si know. You are his long-term follower, and he can't ignore you. You will follow him wherever he goes, you will eat whatever he eats, and if he doesn't eat, you will be hungry with him, and see who can consume whom. ”

Pan Changsheng didn't want Han Xiufeng to take advantage of him, so he smiled: "You know, I'll just say that I didn't bring any money." ”

"I can't say that I don't bring any money, before I leave, I will prepare two copper coins and a dozen or so pieces of broken silver for you, if he plays tricks and is forced to have no choice, he will stick to the silver money he knows, and see what he will do when he finishes spent. In short, be smart and act on the opportunity. ”

"Dad, we are suffering today not because we are not shrewd, but because he is on an errand in the county government, and there is a group of black-hearted officials who support him, and he can't let go of his hands and feet. But when he goes out, he is not a scribe of the county government, just a nominal alternate inspector, and I have no worries, he dares to play with me, see how I play with him! ”

Shopkeeper Pan suddenly remembered that the lamp in front of him was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and couldn't help laughing: "That's right, but when you go out, you are fellow villagers, so you should take care of each other." Remember my father's words, when you encounter something, you would rather trust your fellow villagers than outsiders, and people outside are sinister. ”

"Well, I made a note of it."

"Also, the five hundred taels of silver tickets hidden on his body are for emergencies, but if he is really expected to be able to fill the shortfall, and the lack of silver to do, you can take out the silver ticket at the juncture and give him a charcoal in the snow. But you must look at it, at least eighty or ninety percent sure before you can take it out. ”

"I know that if he can't make up for the lack and become an official, the silver we lent out won't be profitable, and he won't even be able to get his book back! I will definitely listen carefully and ask clearly, and I will never make a move if I am not completely sure. ”

"I'm relieved, you don't have to worry about the family, your mother-in-law and baby, your sister-in-law and younger siblings will help take care of it. No matter where you go, don't forget to repair the family letter and bring back the ticket number. ”

"Dad, you have to take care after I leave."

"What can I do, even if there is anything, it's not your brother and your brother." Shopkeeper Pan thought for a while, turned around and said: "Changxi, Guan Zhutou can't go back to the city today, you take some money from the counter, go to the street to buy some pig's head meat, peanuts, and a few catties of wine, and invite him and Han Si to come over for a drink later." It is better to settle the grievance, not to mention that your brother wants to go to the capital with Han Si to confess, and Han Si will help take care of him along the way. ”

Pan Changxi was still more sensible, and said without thinking: "Dad, I'll go." ”

Next, he wanted to mix with Han Si, Pan Changsheng wanted to have a good relationship with the Han family, and subconsciously asked, "Dad, what about that little servant?" ”

"Forget it, our family is unlucky enough! Invite him to dinner, do you think the family is not bad enough? ”

"Oh, when I didn't say it."
