Just when Ma Yun was hesitant and had nothing to do, ready to rush out forcibly. Suddenly, I heard someone behind me, clapped my hands and praised: "Good words, Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. Li Du's famous sentence is nothing more than that, in Zhaotong, Xiayouzhou, I have seen Brother Tai. ”

Ma Yun turned his head sharply and saw a young man of twenty-three or fourteen years old with squinting eyes, wearing a navy blue horse coat, simple clothes, and smiling towards him.

Ma Yun hurriedly said as if he saw a life-saving straw: "Ma Yun in Xiasha, I have seen Brother Tai." ”

Zhao Tong looked very bold, walked directly to Ma Yun's table, sat down and said, "I listened to the poem chanted by Brother Tai just now, it's really a good poem." Let's talk about eight words, and tell the people their hardships. Brother Taichu people, how did you come to Jingshi? ”

After he said this, he turned his head and said to the shopkeeper, "Bring my dishes over, and I will sit at the table with this brother." ”

Ma Yun said with a smile: "Brother Zhao doesn't know, he has been reading poetry since he was a child, and he was deeply attracted by my Confucian culture, and he has long admired the benevolence and righteousness of the Central Plains, and he always wants to come to the Central Plains to have a look. ”

Zhao Tongxi said: "It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, Brother Ma's actions are really admirable." ”

As he spoke, he looked left and right again and said, "I don't know where Brother Ling is?" ”

Ma Yun sighed and said: "My brother and I passed through Xuzhou, but we encountered a large number of refugees and were separated. Thinking that my brother was going to come to Bianjing to do business, I tossed and turned, ate and slept in the open, and then came to Bianjing outside the city. ”

Zhao Tong looked at me suspiciously and said: "Ten miles ahead to Jingshi, after dinner, Brother Tai will rest for one night, hurry tomorrow morning, you can arrive in Bianjing in half an hour, maybe you will be able to see Brother Ling soon." ”

Ma Yun smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Zhao Jiyan, Brother Zhao Youzhou people, how did you come to Bianjing City?" ”

Zhao Tong said with emotion: "Hey, it's a long story, Youzhou is outside the Khitan, which is a place of war, so that's it." Zhao Tong looked around and said in a low voice: "The first emperor cut the sixteen states of Youyun, how could my dignified Chinese man bend to serve the thief, so I moved my family south to Luoyang, and today I happened to come to Bianjing to visit my old friend." ”

Ma Yun and Zhao Tong chatted like this, this Zhao Tong has a wide range of knowledge, and he is good at learning, and Ma Yun and him are chatting for a while. But the only thing that makes Ma Yun wonder is that this guy talks so boldly, why doesn't he mention the matter of paying the bill. The dishes are all finished, what are we talking about, even if we talk very speculatively, you pay the bill, let's continue to talk about it.

Ma Yun looked out the window that the sun was already setting and the sun was shining, and the sky was about to get dark, and he was about to speak. But I heard Zhao Tong's face was slightly red, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed and said: "Oh, unconsciously it was dark all night, and today I will disturb Brother Qian, and when I go to Bianjing City, I will definitely invite you back." ”

Ma Yun was taken aback and said hurriedly: "I don't have any money." ”

Zhao Tong also seemed to be taken aback, and said, "What? What can I do? I didn't bring any money with me. ”

The two of them were staring at each other with big eyes.

Zhao Tong's eyes rolled, and suddenly he looked sneakily left and right. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he wiped his sleeve on the table, only to hear a "stab" sound, and Zhao Tong's sleeve was actually scratched by the nail on the table for a long lock.

Ma Yun and Zhao Tong glanced at each other, then immediately stood up and said, "Shopkeeper, why does your table look like this, the nails are running out and scratching our clothes, what do you say." ”

The shopkeeper was still not in a hurry, and the shopkeeper had already rushed over and said, "Don't you hit a rake, obviously he scratched his clothes himself, and he actually wants to rely on us." ”

Ma Yun walked into the hall and said to the people who were eating: "All the fathers and villagers present, you can give us a comment, tell me who deliberately scratched his clothes?" ”

Seeing that the people in the hall were all pointing at Ma Yun and the two, they were talking about it. Ma Yun was relieved, and this is what he wanted.

The shopkeeper insisted: "I obviously saw that his sleeve was scratched on the table and scratched by himself." ”

Ma Yun said: "Nonsense, don't you do it when you eat?" Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, how could our sleeves not swing around on the table when we started to pick up the food, and if the nail on the table had not been pried out, how could this friend of mine scratch his clothes? Now the store actually said that we blew it ourselves, is there any heavenly reason, is there no royal law, where is the simple and kind wind of my Bianjing people? ”

Ma Yun said in a slightly trembling voice: "You guys, it's okay for you to slander me, it's okay for you to slander my friends, but you do this, it's really black on the faces of our Bianjing people, you have simply lost the face of our Bianjing people." ”

The shopkeeper was a little weak, and whispered: "You are not from Bianjing. ”

Zhao Tong immediately received: "We are not from Bianjing, can you be abducted?" Fathers and elders can take a look, my friend Brother Qian is dressed brightly, and you can tell at a glance that everyone is from a background; As for me, I'm obviously a well-informed scholar, and we are like the kind of people who don't pay for food. ”

The people of ancient times were really warm-hearted, and they were immediately moved by Ma Yun's accusation containing tears and grievances. So, some diners stood up to help them speak, accusing the restaurant of bad service attitude, tables and chairs and benches are too broken, and then complained that the food tasted unpalatable, the amount of food was too small, and a Shanxi person said loudly: "What's going on, in our Shanxi, we eat all big bowls, and they have become small porcelain bowls when we come to you, aren't you a pit person." ”

The shopkeeper saw that the situation was not right, and he could no longer maintain that poor smile, and said: "Everyone, be quiet, this matter just now is indeed the fault of our small shop, our small shop will be responsible for this, Xiao Zhang didn't hurry up to apologize to these two masters, the two masters are really sorry, so let's go, Xiao Li, you go to the street to buy a dress for this master." ”

Ma Yun was shocked, don't you want to play tricks on this Wang Ba, grandma, you let this Xiao Li go around the street casually, and then come back with a piece of torn clothes, and then let us pay the bill, won't we just show our stuffing?

I only heard Zhao Tong sneer and said, "Hmph, how can money buy this dress." ”

Ma Yun glanced at Zhao Tong in surprise, this guy's brain is turning so fast, he also saw the shopkeeper's bad intentions, and then he should cry, the great historical significance of this dress.

Sure enough, Zhao Tong really talked about how important this dress was next with a handful of snot and tears. I won't repeat this cry here, in short, this is a poignant family story.

After the story was told, everyone in the audience seemed to have tears in their eyes, and even the shopkeeper couldn't help asking, "What should I do about this?" ”

Ma Yun sighed and said: "The past cannot be admonished, and the future can still be chased." Brother Zhao, I think this matter will be forgotten. Why don't we pay the bill and go to Bianjing City overnight. ”

Ma Yun deliberately said "paying the bill" and "overnight" very seriously, which fully reflected the generosity of the two and their sympathy for Zhao Tong. The shopkeeper was really smart enough, and said: "Two guest officers, this matter is indeed caused by the small shop, it is better to stay in the small shop for one night, and the small shop will charter two people to eat and stay for free for one day." How? ”

Zhao Tong wiped his tears and said quite aggrievedly: "Thank you to the shopkeeper, in this matter, I am also responsible, hey, I shouldn't wear such expensive clothes to go out." After speaking, he secretly winked at Ma Yun.

Get!
