Qiantang County is not big, especially for the idlers who mingle in the wine shops and tea shops every day, the pattern here is too small, so as long as there is a little bit of wind and grass, some people will inevitably chatter.

How the aunt of the Wang family is plump, how the girl of the Liu family is graceful, a prostitute has a new chick, or the owner of a silk shop is afraid of his wife, these messy things are enough to make people talk about it.

But in the past few days, a piece of news has spread all over Qiantang, saying that Xu Chang is going to do good deeds.

Do good deeds? It's really the sun coming out in the west.

When everyone heard that it was Xu Chang, they couldn't help but ask, "Which Xu Chang?" Could it be that Xu Chang from Zhoudu? ”

If someone who knows some of the roots, he can't help but scold: "Zhou Du is 108,000 miles away from Qiantang, how can it be him?" He is the head of our Qiantang County Ya, Xu Chang Xu. ”

"Ah, Xu Bantou must have had a hair, or have some kind of demonic disease, it can't be crazy."

"This ......" The person who was asked was not very easy to say, and said perfunctorily: "Presumably the same, who is Xu Bantou?" How can a person who plucks his feathers do good deeds? To tell you the truth, the Xu family is not only old, but it is not like this, and the small one is not a good thing, I heard that the small one sells prescriptions and eats people to death, and feeds them, these words should not be spread out indiscriminately, just listen to hearsay. ”

All kinds of gossip raged, but it was also so powerful that even the hometown knew about it, and early the next morning, a cousin of the clan who was doing small business in the county came to the door, saying that he had come to visit his uncle, and that if his uncle was unwell, there was a doctor in Dongxiang who was the best at treating epilepsy.

If this sentence is translated in black dialect, it means: Uncle, if you have a brain disease, go to treat it quickly, don't embarrass our old Xu family.

Xu Chang was so angry that his nose was crooked, he took out an iron ruler and drove this nephew out, and the nephew also knew that Xu Chang had a hot temper.

"These eyeless things, I do good deeds, what's wrong, I Xu Bantou can't do good deeds? Qian'er, do you say that there is an old saying called what is a bird's nest or something? ”

Xu Qian stiffened his face and didn't dare to laugh, and said as if he was mourning: "Dad is the ambition of the bird." ”

Xu Chang glanced at Xu Qian approvingly, nodded and said, "Yes, this is the sentence of this group of sparrows, knowing the thoughts of the old man?" They said I was crazy, and I think they were crazy. ”

Xu Qian gave a thumbs up and said: "Dad is really good, we don't do sparrows, we do Honghu." ”

The father and son praised each other, Xu Chang then relented, and then sneered: "Tomorrow, let's open the eyes of these eyeless things, you don't have to be idle to read your books, your idea is good, but these things naturally have a father to do, your main business is to study." ”

Anyway, Xu Chang and Xu Qian were on fire, and then news came out that on September 15, the Xu family's father and son's good hall was about to open.

In the early morning of September 15, Xu Chang and his son put on a new dress, and Xu Qian specially found a pair of paper fans, wearing a Confucian shirt, which is very childlike.

And many good deeds have gathered at the door of Xu's house, and as soon as everyone saw the door of the Xu family open, and then Xu Chang's father and son came out, it was like being beaten with chicken blood. The reason why everyone was so excited was that they were too curious about how a virtuous person like Xu Chang could do good deeds? There's definitely something weird and weird in there.

"Come out, come out, tsk...... Sure enough, it's germinated, and even the clothes are different. Look, two sedan chairs were hired, they were cheap sedan chairs, and they were not afraid of breaking the rules? ”

Everyone talked and watched, Xu Chang and Xu Qian got into the sedan chair, and then the sedan chair rose and staggered towards the outside of the city.

The good deeds will stop and see, anyway, these people are idle, but they are also calm, discussing and trying to find out.

Qiantang is a big county, and is located in the south of the Yangtze River, although the city wall is prosperous, but along the outside of the city is still extremely lively, a radius of several miles is also a market, here is called Qinghefang, the bridge in the distance is a magnificent building, everyone recognizes at a glance, this is the Qinghe Zhangjia, Qiantang County, the first wealthy new house, although not built in the inner city, not because you can't afford to buy the land of the inner city, but the inner city is cramped after all, and in this lively Qinghefang, this huge building that cost thousands of taels of silver and took three years has now become one of the landmark buildings of Qiantang County.

The sedan chair actually stopped at the door of this house, and the good deeds hurriedly stopped, confused.

How to do good deeds to achieve the Zhang family? Does the Zhang family still need you to help?

It must be known that in front of this house is the market, opposite are some abandoned storefronts, the largest of which is an inn, but since the mansion built on the opposite side of the inn, it has greatly affected the business, and now the store has closed and no one cares.

But today, it seems that it has been repaired, and everyone is confused about what to do.

The father and son of the Xu family got off the sedan chair here, and then entered the inn, and then a few shopkeepers came out, and everyone hung a plaque above the door with their hands and feet, and the plaque read: "Jishan family" The four characters are signed, but it is Huang Rende.

Who is Huang Rende? Many people were stunned at first, and then a well-informed person patted his thigh and said: "This is our county's master Huang Rende, Master Huang didn't expect that Master Huang actually wrote to them, it seems that the father and son surnamed Xu are really going to do good deeds." But I don't know what kind of good deed to do is to give porridge? It's not like this, and the stove hasn't been raised at the door, and I don't smell the aroma of porridge, I really don't know what the name is. ”

Master Huang's inscription naturally caused a sensation, in the eyes of later generations, a master is just an official follower, what kind of important core figure is it? But in this era, it is completely different, the master is the staff officer of the official, but also the confidant of the official, and the personal padded jacket of the official. From a certain point of view, the master's words and deeds represent the thoughts of the county magistrate, and his actions are often consistent with the county leader.

Since Master Huang has an inscription, it also represents the meaning of the current county lord of Qiantang's parents, and the inscription surnamed Xu will be a high-sounding hanging on the door of Master Huang's inscription, and many meanings in it are enough to make people think deeply.

At this time, the guys put out the firecrackers, Xu Qian personally pinched a stick of incense and went to set off the firecrackers, after the sound of firecrackers sounded, Xu Chang came out and waved towards the crowd of onlookers, and said loudly: "Qiantang is the land of fish and rice, and it is also the place where the literary style is at its peak. ”

The words were quite decent, and finally got some sparse applause.

Xu Chang said that, Xu Qian took a step forward again, shook his head and said: "Contemptible Xu Qian has always been taught by his father on weekdays, and he has always had good thoughts in his heart, hoping to do more good deeds and report to the country to help the weak." Qiantang is located in an important place, there are many past merchants, but I often hear that some merchants, passers-by in my Qiantang often spread bad news, died in a foreign land, only pity them, for the family is running outside, even if they die, there is nowhere to bury for the time being, pitiful, pitiful......"

Everyone nodded one after another, but also felt reasonable, Qiantang used to be a lot of strangers, often someone suddenly fell ill and died in Qiantang, and their hometown was thousands of miles away, and it was too late when the family came to collect the corpse, this kind of thing is often heard of.

Xu Qian sighed and then said: "Therefore, my father and son have set up this mansion to build a Yizhuang, which is specially for those merchants and tourists who have died in a foreign land, and today is the day when my Xu's Yizhuang is opened...... Feed...... Feed...... Everyone, come closer, don't hide. ”

Xu Qian originally said it very moving, who knows that many people immediately retreated when they heard the word Yizhuang, and they looked like they were afraid of getting some bad luck.
