The provincial capital of Xiwen Province

This Enke was very anxious, first went to the house to see his mother He, and handed over the paperwork, the mother was very happy, and left three hundred taels of silver to the mother, after He asked the origin, he also accepted, said that it was just for the dowry, and stayed for a few days, to the fifteenth day of the first month, Fang Xin boarded the boat, along the canal waterway to the east gate of the provincial capital Xiwenfu.

This was a little delayed, to the county seat, it was already the beginning of February, and the exam was March 1, to the provincial capital, get off the boat, still feel the cold wind, just on the shore, and then on the street, the bustling crowd is endless.

Xiwen Mansion is a famous city in a province, the water and dry wharves are complete, for the main road to rush, natural people wait for countless people, Fang Xin entered the city, looked for an afternoon, did not see the right inn, endured, and then searched for a while, and finally found a small inn to live.

Sure enough, there is a single room inside, the money was set first, and the owner of the store took a few guys to carry the luggage together, this kind of small inn, there are not many good dishes, Fang Xin also ate sloppily, fortunately, there is not much time, the guy sent a bucket of hot water, after washing, I felt more comfortable, and took out a book to see.

At this moment, I heard someone talking at the edge of the courtyard, sometimes loudly.

Fang Xin was a little impatient, came out, called a buddy, this guy replied, came to serve, heard the question, he sighed and said: "It's a showman, when he took the exam last year, he came to the city, but he didn't win, but he didn't go back, and then he was deceived and entangled, the boss thought, this is always a scholar, and he took the exam immediately, so he was forced to ask for room money." But he always had to eat, and he went out to borrow some money, and now some people come to force him to pay his debts, and he is right, and we can't speak. ”

Fang Xin was helpless, and after a glance, he saw that this hostel was very low, one small room after another, if there was no additional money here. Not even candles. Each room was lit with sesame oil lamps, and there were gamblers, drinkers, and teeth, and one of them was noisy.

Fang Xin couldn't care about this, so he went back to lie down and paid for a bunch of candles. There are ten, although they are small, but one can also be lit for an hour, and it is enough to read a book.

He lay down, changed two candles, and went to sleep, and the next morning he heard a sound again. Someone shouted: "Boss Zhang, he is a scholar, and he is more or less a talent, if you die here, you can't get out of the relationship." ”

Fang Xin frowned. Dressed out, went over to take a look, and sure enough, there was a group of people around the room, and then looked inside. I saw a middle-aged man lying there. His teeth were clenched, and his face was pale.

Touch it now. But it was hot, knowing that if this kind of high fever was not treated, in this kind of weather, I was afraid that it would become heavier, and even hurt my brain, so I immediately said: "Call the doctor quickly!" ”

"But he doesn't have the money yet!"

"I'll come out with the money, the size is a showman, you can't see death without help!" Fang Xin said, touching his pocket, but he didn't bring any money: "Go and call first, and I'll give it to you later!" ”

With this sentence, Boss Zhang immediately sent a guy to call the doctor.

Rich and easy to do, near this hotel, come and go, there is always a problem, who is not familiar with Langzhong? So it didn't take much time for a Lang Zhong to come over, about fifty or so.

Diagnose the pulse of this down-and-out Xiucai, this old man quickly let go of his hand and said slowly, "It's okay, I'll prescribe a medicine, sweat, and it will be fine, but if it drags on, it will be serious." ”

Fang Xin said at this time: "You just have to open it, the money is mine!" ”

This Lang Zhong couldn't help but smile, and said, there was pen and ink on the table, and after a little grinding, he took a pen and wrote a prescription: "Take it, grab it, eat two stickers, if it's not good, come to me again!" ”

Fang Xin didn't need to do anything about this, he gave out a hundred pieces of silver, sent Lang Zhong out, grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, and half an hour later, fed the person and drank it.

When Fang Xin saw that he had drunk, he ordered: "When he wakes up, give him some porridge to eat, and the money will be mine." ”

After saying that, he went back.

Fang Xin continued to study, and in the afternoon, after eating Chinese food, he saw the guy informing: "This person is awake, I want to see you!" ”

Fang Xin also went over, and found that he was indeed awake, but it was obvious that he was still weak, and there was still a special smell of sweat on the kang, so Fang Xin also stepped forward and said, "This brother, is it better?" ”

"It turns out that he is also a father-in-law, and I am really fortunate to be grateful to you, I am grateful to Ning Boqiu." The man said weakly, remembered it, struggled for a while, was held down by Fang Xin, and said: "Don't, your body is weak, lying down and talking, and what is this, it's just a trivial matter, Brother Tai doesn't have to take it to heart, but why did Brother Tai fall into this field?" ”

Ning Boqiu looked at Fang Xin gratefully, and said: "I also know a little bit of medical skills, my illness is urgent, although it is not big, but if no one saves it, you will have to go to the ghost gate, you are really my life-saving benefactor......"

Fang Xin was modest again and again, and ordered the store to send porridge to drink, and the two became harmonious, saying, Ning Boqiu then told himself in detail to listen, it turned out that although he won the show, he didn't know how to operate, and he spent the money and rice every year.

Ning Boqiu, who had no face to go back, wanted to read in the city, and by the way did some work such as writing letters, relying on some silver, and he could still live hard, but he didn't want to be cheated out of the silver again, so in desperation, he borrowed some usury silver, and was forced to pay a debt.

Fang Xin said: "Brother Ning, it's okay to do this, how much money do you owe in total?" ”

"I borrowed fifteen taels, and I had twenty-eight taels."

Fang Xin didn't speak, went back to the room, and didn't have much time, so he took half a seal of silver and came over: "The younger brother only brought a total of one hundred and fifty taels of silver, this is fifty taels, you pay off the debt first, and take care of the rest of your body, you will try it at the beginning of next month, how can you do it if you don't take care of your body?" Don't shirk, who hasn't been in trouble? ”

Seeing the silver of the white flowers, Ning Boqiu's heart couldn't help but feel sour, tears fell, or a few words of resignation, Fang Xin was a little unhappy, so he said a few words, gave him the silver, and saw that he looked tired, so he took his leave.

The person left, Ning Boqiu lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a while, and his thoughts were surging.

Time passed quickly, and on the second day, Fang Xincai ordered some wine and side dishes, and was bored while reading and drinking, when suddenly there was a knock on the door and there was a knock on the door.

"Come in, it turned out to be Brother Ning, it seems to be more energetic, come, man, serve a few more light dishes, and some mild wine, don't, don't shirk, I didn't mean, this is really not good."

The two sat down, Fang Xin looked carefully, and found that the other party was suddenly more energetic, and his clothes had been washed, only then did he realize that the other party was actually only about thirty years old, but he was haggard yesterday, and he thought he was in his forties.

"How's it going, is it over?"

"It's over, I have to thank Brother Xian for the silver, after all, I am still a showman, they received the silver, and it is far away if they want to bluff, otherwise, Wang Fa is set up for them." As he spoke, he smiled evilly.

In a few words, he knew this Ning Boqiu's temperament, Fang Xin frowned slightly, but he didn't put the color on his face, and talked with him, although Ning Boqiu was a little ruthless, but he still knew kindness, the other party letter was very polite, and the two talked about some scriptures, but after some time, he was surprised to find that this young man was really talented and learned.

I didn't know what it tasted in my heart for a while, so the two drank some wine and sighed: "...... Now that I think about it, I was ridiculous back then, as soon as possible, just study more seriously, but there is no way to remedy this matter, and now I am working hard, I hope that this time I can be a lifter, and I will go to Beijing next year to get a jinshi, the virtuous brother is so talented, it is really amazing, when we enter Beijing together! ”

When Fang Xin saw him say this, he also smiled: "Of course, I hope so!" ”

As soon as he spoke, a guy came outside and said, "Li Xianggong, someone is looking for you!" ”

Fang Xin was a little surprised, and when he went out, he saw a person, although this person was wearing civilian clothes, but he knew that it was extraordinary when he looked at it, he looked at it and said, "You are Li Rui?" ”

"Exactly, I wonder what you have to say?"

"On the orders of Mr. Yan, I came to invite you to Qianxian Garden." This person looks like a tolerance or a soldier or something like that, and his tone of voice is revealed.

"Mr. Yan? Could it be Mr. Yan Min? "Where is the former Xianjian Garden? Fang Xin didn't know.

"Exactly."

Fang Xin thought for a while and said, "It's okay, then I'll come right away." ”

When he returned to the room, he saw that Ning Boqiu was a little different, and he didn't care about it at the moment, and said, "Brother Ning, you can eat, I'll change my clothes and go back." ”

As he spoke, he changed into a new green shirt, which was only made of silk, but it was simple and generous, and it was really chic to wear.

Ning Boqiu's expression was uncertain, and he asked, "Can the virtuous brother know Qianxian Garden?" Why don't I take you there for my brother? ”

"No need, someone will lead the way." Fang Xin paused for a moment, and said, he was already a little remorseful at this time, he decided to end the matter, this Ning Boqiu was not a friend, just now his spiritual sense keenly felt his jealousy, and even had some resentment because of his refusal.

What else does a person have to say to a person who is so kind to his life-savers.
