Ji Xu, the beginning of the name Xu, is the son of Ji Zhi, a member of the staff.

Ji Xu has been very smart since he was a child, and I remember that when he was five years old, he didn't know the four treasures of the study - paper, ink, pen, and inkstone.

One day, he suddenly cried and asked for these things. His father was so surprised by this that he borrowed a writing instrument from a neighbor and gave it to him. Ji Xu took the writing instrument and immediately wrote four lines of poetry, and inscribed his own name. The meaning of this poem is to support one's parents and to have good relations with people of the same clan.

After his father passed the poem to the showmen in the township to watch, they all thought that this child was not ordinary. From then on, he was appointed to compose a poem, which he could complete immediately, and the poetry was worth viewing in terms of style and truth.

[1] "Prodigy Poems" Wang Zhu. poem

The Son of Heaven is heroic, and the article teaches Ercao;

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

Young children must be diligent in learning, and articles can stand up;

Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty is full of scholars.

Learned diligently, thousands of books;

Three winters are enough today, who laughs and has an empty stomach.

Since childhood, he has learned from many talents and has high ambitions in his life;

Others have swords, but I have a pen like a sword.

Chao is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in the Tianzi Hall;

There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant.

Learning is the treasure of the body, and Confucianism is the treasure of the table;

If you look at it as a prime minister, you must use a scholar.

When Ji Xu was seven years old, he went to take the township exam. The examiner saw that he was too young and didn't believe that he had any literary talent, so he said "Jinshui Riverside golden thread willow, golden thread willow wears goldfish mouth" to test it, but he didn't expect Xiao Jixu to blurt out "Hosta flowers outside the jade railing, hosta flowers inserted into jade heads"; The examiner still didn't believe it, and came out again, "In the deep mountains where the two apes broke the wood, the little monkey dared to see [sentence]?" Ji Xu replied-for-tat: "A horse is stuck in the mud, how can the old beast come out of the hoof [question]?" ”

The examiner was scolded, although he was slightly displeased in his heart, but he admired him for having such courage and talent at such a young age. In order not to bury the talent, the examiner still let him participate in the township examination.

Ji Xu also lived up to expectations, and entered the "five kui" in this exam, and won the promotion. Since then, he has become famous in one fell swoop and has become a famous local prodigy.

In the second year, eight-year-old Ji Xu went to Beijing to take the exam, but he did not pass the exam.

The roof leaked and rained overnight,

The boat was sailed with a headwind.

In the spring of the first year of Yuan Zhishun [1330], Ji Xu went to Beijing for the fourth time to take the examination and did not pass the examination, went home dejectedly, got on the boat in Jinling, and went all the way upstream. The boat went relatively slowly, and when it reached Kuizhou [Fengjie County, Chongqing City], it encountered wind and waves. More than a dozen people on the boat, except for him who could do some work and climb ashore with the boatman, the rest of them have all died in Huangquan.

To be rich is to be a man,

No money is difficult for a man.

After Ji Xu came ashore, he was penniless, so he had to beg along the way to his home.

He used the bamboo flute he carried with him, sometimes went to the tavern to play a piece of music for people, and sometimes used the flute as a sword on the street to play a set of swordsmanship for passers-by.

In mid-August, Ji Xu finally returned to his hometown. When he saw that his house had been robbed, that his house had been burned, and that his family had been killed, he was so frightened that he sat down in front of his house. Under the attack of many emotions such as fear, sorrow, remorse, disappointment, and sadness, countless gray hairs appeared on the sideburns. I saw that his hair turned from black to gray and from gray to white one by one. Ji Xu, who was less than twenty years old, had gray hair overnight.

Hours are brothers, growing up in the townships.

Don't be jealous of wealth, don't be jealous of food, don't be jealous of life, don't be jealous of death.

After five or six days of trekking, Ji Xu came to his hometown of Xichong County, Shunqing Road [now Xichong County, Nanchong City] uncle's house for help.

The eldest uncle pulled a face and said, "When your family was rich, you helped me, but my life has not been rich." When your family was eating and drinking spicy food, did you ever think about your uncle? Now that your family is in trouble, I remember that your uncle is here. When I was young, your father and I were really brothers, I did it for him, and scolded me for him. But after I got married, your father didn't care as much about me as the neighbors. ”

"My father and mother are gone, so what's the use of talking about it? Can you lend me some silver taels first, and I'll get by. ”

"At that time, you were so rampant in the exam, did you still know your uncle at that time?"

"Uncle, I was only an eight-year-old kid at the time, and I didn't know what rampant was - can you lend me some money first, I have to rent a house to live in."

Uncle seemed to remember something: "Didn't your father give all the money to your uncle?" Why don't you go to your uncle and ask for the money back? Then you won't be able to spend it in your lifetime......"

"Even if I ask for it, I have to be entangled, and the money on me fell into the river when the boat capsized."

"I paid for the funeral expenses of your family, and I spent a lot of money, and I have done my best. Now I don't have much money, and I have to keep it for your cousin to marry his daughter-in-law, so you can take the five taels of silver and go to your uncle. ”

[5] "Zengguang Xianwen" Zhou Xitao

There are many brothers with wine and meat,

How can I see a person in an emergency?

In desperation, Ji Xu had no choice but to return to Chengdu.

He first wrote a letter to his uncle who lived on Xuzhou Road [now Yibin], asking him to send him some money to maintain his immediate livelihood.

I think that the brothers who ate, drank and had fun together and sang prostitutes are gone.

[6] "Zengguang Xianwen" Zhou Xitao

No one asks about the poor city,

Fu has distant relatives in the mountains.

The five taels of silver in Ji Xu's hand were spent in a few days, and he stood in front of his door crying.

The Ji family's compound, which used to be full of traffic, has now become a deserted ruin; Relatives who could come to the door no matter how far away they were now closing their doors tightly.

[7] "Zengguang Xianwen" Zhou Xitao

People are poor and short-minded, and horses are thin and long-haired.

Every day, he was eager for his uncle to send him some money to save him. But I went to many letters, but there was no news.

Originally, Ji Xu wanted to beg all the way to find his uncle, but he was worried that his lover Liu Hao would not find him when he came back, so he couldn't bear to make her frightened. Besides, even if he worked so hard to find his uncle, what could he do if he treated him like an uncle?

[8] "Wandering" Zhan Yongyuan. Words: Yang Yunbi. Qu Andy Lau. song

He could only live on the streets.

The high-spirited and suave young man from the past was gone, and what appeared in front of everyone was a beggar with a thin face and white hair, who had become a helpless wanderer.

[Song] "When the lights shine every night, I start wandering. The bustling city wanders at night, with no end and no direction.

Home, although it is owned, is empty, condensed and empty, afraid to look back. The love is still cold, the person is still freezing, and I am afraid to go home and look at the wall again. All the fantasies that make me think about you, boringly flipping up, leading up and wandering in my thoughts. Think about you again, think about it until your heart is sad, and understand that it is the same with affection and desperation!

Think, get you hopeless, escape some impressions of the year. Buried in the vast night, let me wander alone in style.

The love is still cold, the person is still freezing, and I am afraid to go home and look at the wall again. ”

[9] "Zengguang Xianwen" Zhou Xitao

I don't have a chance to see each other,

There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away.

Coincidentally, on this day, Yu Rong followed the sisters in the courtyard to the street to buy rouge pollen, and saw Ji Xu begging for food from afar, and Yu Rong's tears couldn't help but flow out.

[10] "Zengguang Xianwen" Zhou Xitao

It is not like a kiss, and it is not a kiss.

Yu Rong took advantage of the time when the sisters went to pick up rouge pollen, she walked up to Ji Xu and said, "Little brother, I have heard about your family, I have two pieces of silver here, you can buy two decent new clothes to wear, you can't let others underestimate yourself." ”

Ji Xu lowered his head, and tears welled up all of a sudden, but he didn't take the money.

Yu Rong tilted her head to look at Ji Xu's face, and said softly, "Brother, do you need money?" ”

Ji Xu nodded. "But my money is all in Tanhua Lane, you have to go with me to get it, but your mother in the courtyard will not let you in, so you take the money to buy clothes, and the rest of the money will enter the door to my mother, and she will let you see me."

"But how can I ask for your money?"

"It doesn't matter, people will have times when they are in trouble, and when you have money, you will pay me back." Ji Xu took the silver and went to buy clothes according to Yu Rong's meaning.

[11] "Zengguang Xianwen" Zhou Xitao

It is cheaper to live for a long time, and frequent relatives are also sparse;

But after looking at three or five days, it is not as good as the beginning.

Two days later, Ji Xu came to Tanhua Alley and met Yu Rong's daughter Su Xiaoya, who asked her uncle-in-law to come back and talk to her mother.

"The first few days I went were fine, my aunt treated me well, and slowly I began to be cold and estranged. My uncle-in-law said that it has been more than half a year since I came back, so let me come back and see the situation here. Xiaoya was talking, but her eyes were fixed on her mother's bulging belly.

Yu Rong asked, "You didn't make your aunt angry?" ”

"No, I served my aunt carefully like a servant, and at first my aunt didn't let me do it, but then I fell in the face when I did it slowly......"

Yu Rong's face instantly turned pale: "Then you don't have to go back." Yu Rong took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to Ji Xu, "You use this money to rent a house first, let Xiaoya live in it, and find a quiet place." Besides, you also need to calm down and study hard......" Yu Rong knew that Ji Xu was a talent, and she was also optimistic about Ji Xu, thinking that he must be a promising child, and she deliberately matched him and Xiaoya in her heart. "If you encounter any difficulties in studying, just come to me." Yu Rong looked at her daughter again and said, "Let Xiaoya learn more poetry from you." ”

Ji Xu asked, "You don't live with Miss Su?" ”

Yu Rong touched her stomach and said, "Seeing that the child is about to be born, I have to earn money to support him in this prosperous place." ”

Ji Xu said: "I now live in my Liu Mei's house, on the bank of Huanhua River. The environment is very elegant, very suitable for girls to live, it is very suitable for Miss Su to move in, I can rent a thatched hut to live. We're both older, and it's not very convenient to live together. ”

Ji Xu knew in his heart that his life still needed Yu Rong's help, if he was combined with Xiaoya, how could he bring happiness to Xiaoya's mother and daughter? Rather than not being able to give her happiness, why bother her.

Yu Rong agreed with Ji Xu's idea, and Ji Xu returned the money to Yu Rong.

But Yu Rong didn't take the money, saying, "You take this money first and take care of both of your lives." Especially you, Ji Xu, must not go to the street to beg in the future, settle down and study seriously. As the saying goes: if there are no students at home, where do the officials come from? ”

Ji Xu nodded sincerely.

[12] "Zengguang Xianwen" Zhou Xitao

Pink easy makeup delicate woman,

It's hard to be a good son without money.

Su Xiaoya has loved reading since she was a child, although she has never studied from a teacher, but under the influence of her mother, she knows books and etiquette, especially fine poetry, and speaks words, all of which have become good sentences.

As soon as Ji Xu led Su Xiaoya to Huanhua Creek, she fell in love with it all of a sudden. Xiaoya has always loved mountains and rivers, and she likes it very much when she sees such a quiet beauty of Huanhua Creek.

She arranged Liu Haohao's previous house to be more elegant and chic, and changed the floor-to-ceiling window facing the lake into a round window, titled "Mirror Pavilion", and the couplet on both sides read: "Close the pavilion to hide the crescent moon, open the window and release wild clouds."

Su Xiaoya also fell in love with Ji Xu all of a sudden, and fell in love with his melancholy eyes.

Every day, Su Xiaoya walks on the bank of Huanhua Creek, looking at the gurgling clear stream, dotting water birds, she can't help but sing poems and songs, and pour out the feelings in her heart.

Ji Xu had Yu Rong's sponsorship and a place to eat, so he settled down and began to study poetry and prepare for the exam the year after tomorrow.

[13] "Zengguang Xianwen" Zhou Xitao

It is not easy to get gold and silver,

It takes time to know that it is difficult to come.

If you want Xiaoya to find a good in-law, it takes time, and you need money to support her; If you want Ji Xu to have a good future, you can't read without money. Yu Rong's life suddenly had two more expenses, so she had to quickly think about earning money, but is the money so easy to earn?

[14] "Zengguang Xianwen" Zhou Xitao

No one says behind anyone's back,

Who doesn't talk about people in front of them?

Time is passing, but Yu Rong's belly is getting bigger and bigger. What to do? She's struggling—

Did you keep the kid, or did you deal with it? How do you feed yourself if you leave it behind?

It is a legitimate thing to dispose of: you Yuan Zhen don't care about me, let me fend for myself, why should I give you a child?

After thinking about it, Yu Rong made a decision, the child was innocent and was born! The most important thing is that she is still in love with that man!
