Tian Zhiyu slowly swayed into the city gate, and saw that the Mingyuan Bookstore, which was not far from the city gate, had opened at this time, and there were two guys at the door who were replacing the couplets of the gate, and Dou Mingyuan, the shopkeeper, was directing below.

Tian Zhiyu looked at it quietly for a while, it turned out that the couplet had been removed, and it was replaced by the sound of wind and rain that Tian Zhiyu gave Dou Mingyuan.

I didn't expect this Dou Mingyuan to be an anxious son, just like Zhuo Buzhi, he decided to use it and acted immediately, but these two couplets came out in Taiyuan City, Tian Zhiyu was a little afraid that he would find the right person in the future.

He thought of the brother and sister he had met before he left the city, and he didn't know how they were doing, so he decided to go and see them.

Turning into the depths of the alley again, I came to the dilapidated house, and when I walked in, I saw that in addition to the two brothers and sisters, there was also an old man.

The old man was a little surprised when he saw Tian Zhiyu, and said, "This son?"

Before Tian Zhiyu could speak, the young man spoke: "Doctor Hu, it was this brother who gave me the money." ”

It turned out that this old man was the doctor that the young man invited for his sister, Tian Zhiyu greeted the doctor and asked, "Doctor Hu, how is this little girl?"

The old man stroked his white beard and said, "The old man gave the little girl a pulse, except for the weak body and bones, everything else is fine, it should be the weakness caused by malnutrition, as long as it is slowly adjusted, it will be fine." ”

Hearing this, Tian Zhiyu relieved his heart, and instructed the young man to give the old doctor a doctor's medical fee, and returned to the house after sending him out.

He watched the young man cover the little girl with concern and covered the little girl with the tattered cotton wool, and said, "Little brother, I don't know what your name is?"

The young man was obviously much more relaxed at this time, although the injuries on his body were still very painful, he still squeezed out a smile and said, "My name is Yuan Zishan, and my sister's name is Yuan Jingshan." ”

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "Zishan, you go to the street now to buy some porridge for your sister, come back and feed her, she is too weak to eat hard things now, eat porridge for two days, you buy her some meat, eggs or something." ”

Yuan Zishan nodded and trotted out all the way.

Tian Zhiyu walked in front of the little girl and looked down at her, the little girl was still asleep, as if she was having a nightmare, and her body was trembling incessantly.

When Yuan Zishan came back with a bowl of porridge, Tian Zhiyu gave up his position and watched him feed his sister little by little.

Tian Zhiyu was a little moved, the loss of his parents as a teenager is probably one of the most painful experiences in the world, and in such a harsh environment, he is still too busy to take care of himself, and he has to take care of a young sister wholeheartedly, this child has a fate far more bumpy than himself.

After Yuan Zishan finished feeding the little girl, he went to the courtyard to clean the bowl, went to the street and returned it to the store, and stood in front of Tian Zhiyu when he came back.

"Zishan, do you have any other relatives?" asked Tian Zhiyu.

Yuan Zishan shook his head and said, "No, after my father and mother died, I had no relatives."

Tian Zhiyu's nose was sour, if these two children had other relatives, he thought about helping to entrust these two children to their relatives, there were only the two of them at the moment, if they were allowed to stay in this broken house, life would soon return to the original state. Since he met them, Tian Zhiyu wanted to help them to the end.

He thought for a while and said, "Zishan, if I help you find a job, are you willing to do it in a down-to-earth manner and make money to support you and your sister?"

Yuan Zishan's face darkened, and he said: "Zishan doesn't want to have a job, but after looking for a long time, people don't have anything to do with me, they don't want me, I have to steal some things from others to support my sister, if it weren't for this sister, I would have gone to other places to make a living." ”

Tian Zhiyu said: "Don't worry about this, I'll help you find it, you just need to work with peace of mind and take care of your sister." ”

Yuan Zishan looked at his sister again and said, "But what about my sister, she is still so young?"

Tian Zhiyu thought about it again and said, "Otherwise, I will find a way to send your sister to Mingyuan Academy and follow Mr. Dou to school, so that she goes to school during the day, you are busy during the day, and you can be together at night, what do you think?"

"But will Mr. Dou take my sister? We don't have that much money, and even if I had a job, I wouldn't be able to afford her schooling. Yuan Zishan still said worriedly.

Tian Zhiyu smiled and said, "I'll figure out a way to do this, don't worry." He looked at the dilapidated house, which could not be called a house, and thought to himself that they could not live here forever, and that it would not be long before the house would collapse, and it would be in danger at any time.

"And Zishan, is there a better house in your neighborhood that no one lives in? I see that your house is no longer inhabitable, so you have to find a way to find another place to live. ”

Yuan Zishan said: "In fact, no one lives in the house next door to our house, they built a new house elsewhere, and the whole family moved over, but this old house also costs two taels of silver, and we can't afford it." ”

Tian Zhiyu took out another little silver from his arms and said, "I'll give you a little more money, if you find a way to buy the house, it's best to find a reliable middleman as a guarantee, so as not to be deceived." Then I'm going to buy two more clothes for you and my sister, and I'm going to talk to Mr. Dou about your sister's enrollment. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Zishan, who had a sad face, suddenly knelt down for Tian Zhiyu, and Tian Zhiyu immediately helped him up when he saw this, and said, "Zishan, don't do this." ”

Yuan Zishan insisted on kowtowing three times, sobbing and said: "Zishan has nothing, I don't know how to repay my brother, I can only kowtow a few times, thank you for me and for my sister." ”

Tian Zhiyu comforted him for a while, then walked out of the door and walked towards Mingyuan Bookstore.

The bookstore has been replaced with new couplets, and the red brocade decorations on both sides of the couplets are specially hung, which looks brand new. Dou Mingyuan, who was reading a book in the house, was overjoyed when he saw Tian Zhiyu coming, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "It turned out to be Tian Gongzi, the old man has lost his welcome, forgive me, forgive me." ”

"Mr. Dou doesn't have to be polite," Tian Zhiyu hurriedly returned the salute.

Dou Mingyuan looked very happy and said, "When Tian Gongzi came in just now, did he notice our new couplet?"

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "I saw it, I didn't expect Mr. Dou to change it so quickly." ”

"Of course, the old man likes it in his heart, so he can't delay for a moment, so he asked people to make it overnight and put it on early in the morning," Dou Mingyuan asked the boy to serve tea, and then said: "Tian Gongzi came early in the morning, is he going to choose a book?"

Tian Zhiyu shook his head and said, "I went out of the South City Gate early in the morning to send off my friends, and when I came back, something happened and I needed Mr. Dou to help me," and then told the two brothers and sisters about it, and looked at Dou Mingyuan expectantly after speaking.

Dou Mingyuan fell into contemplation after hearing this, and only after a while did he speak: "It is not a big deal to accept a girl into school, at the beginning of my Dongyang founding country, the founding emperor stipulated that women should also be enrolled, and all aspects are the same as men, and then more than 100 years of school are done like this, but in the past 100 years, there are fewer and fewer women in school, and there is almost no in this area of Taiyuan, not old and ignorant, my Mingyuan School is full of male babies, and if you add a girl, how inconvenient it is." ”

Ah, Tian Zhiyu thought that there were both boys and girls in the school, but it turned out that there were no girls, and he was dumbfounded this time, but since he promised Yuan Zishan, Tian Zhiyu had to find a way.

"Mr. Dou, since there is a tradition, it's okay to come and accept female schoolchildren, if it's really inconvenient, you can let Yuan Jingshan wear men's clothes, and no one will find out about the children, right?" Tian Zhiyu said.

Dou Mingyuan sighed and said: "Tian Gongzi is kind-hearted, it is said that the old man should do his best to help, but even if the previous one is put aside, this Yuan family brother and sister are helpless, and it is difficult to eat, how can they afford to go to school?"

"This Mr. Dou doesn't have to worry, Yuan Jingshan is willing to bear all the expenses for going to school, not only that, but he will also leave a little money for Yuan Zishan, and want to keep it here for Mr. Dou, so that he can give Yuan Zishan some living expenses every month in the future, I wonder if Mr. Dou can help?"

Dou Mingyuan still looked embarrassed, and he didn't know what to worry about, Tian Zhiyu saw this and said: "Mr. Dou, in the next sentence of the inscription to your bookstore, in the next sentence, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned, that is, every reader, can not just say that the world is social and the people are born, but to pay attention to the most basic everyone and everything, if you see such a situation and do not help, then no matter how many ideals and ambitions you have, it is just empty talk." ”

Hearing Tian Zhiyu's words, Dou Mingyuan slapped the table and said: "Tian Gongzi is reasonable, the old man has ideals in his life, but Guotai Min'an Haiyan Heqing, now he meets someone who is really helpful, but he thinks about it and has a lot of worries, it is really not what a scholar should have, Tian Gongzi, please rest assured, this little girl Yuan Jingshan, the old man must be as responsible as he is to treat male schoolchildren." ”

Tian Zhiyu nodded happily and said, "Then I will thank Mr. Dou below." ”

After chatting with him for a few more words, Tian Zhiyu hurried home non-stop and found Ma Bencai.

Ma Bencai was about to go out, and when he saw Tian Zhiyu's furious appearance, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Tian, what's wrong with you?"

Tian Zhiyu didn't talk nonsense to him, grabbed him and told him what happened, hoping that he would find Yuan Zishan a job that could support his family.

Ma Bencai happily agreed, and said, "What am I talking about, isn't that all." A sixteen-year-old young man, can withstand the beating, and I am afraid that he will not be able to give up his strength? You are covering this matter with me, I am just going out now, and I will solve it for you by the way, you are waiting for my news at home. ”

Tian Zhiyu couldn't help but look at Ma Bencai again, and felt that this matter had been settled, and he was very happy in his heart.

When it was ten o'clock at noon, Ma Bencai came back from outside, and Tian Zhiyu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Brother Ma, how is it?"

Ma Bencai looked embarrassed, pulled Tian Zhiyu to sit down, and said, "Things are a little difficult to handle. ”

"Huh?" Tian Zhiyu was a little surprised, and said, "Why?"

"Brother Tian, listen to me slowly," Ma Bencai drank a cup of cold tea first, and then said: "I originally thought it wasn't a big deal, so why don't you just find a job." When I was done, I went to the dock where we often unloaded our inventory and asked the boss to arrange it, but when the boss heard that it was Yuan Zishan, he immediately refused. I was also puzzled, but after careful inquiry, I realized that there are many twists and turns here. ”

"Yuan Zishan is a little boy, how many twists and turns can he have?"

"Zhiyu, don't worry, listen to me slowly," Ma Bencai drank another cup of tea, still a little out of breath, and said slowly: "This matter has nothing to do with Yuan Zishan, but his father, Yuan Shaowen." ”

But Yuan Zishan told me that his parents had died. ”

"This kid lied to you, their mother did die, but the father didn't. ”

"Then their father, this Yuan Shaowen, where is he now?"

Ma Bencai took a break and said, "I'll tell you from the beginning." ”

This Yuan Shaowen is also a legendary figure. He was born in Jizhou Road, became an orphan at a young age, and worked on the streets for several years, because of his cleverness, he was valued by Zheng Wuqiu, the head of the Hebei Sword Society, and accepted as an apprentice. This Yuan Shaowen is indeed very smart, and he quickly learned a skill in the Hebei Sword Society, but Zheng Wuqiu soon discovered that he had a very bad habit and liked to steal. It may be that he was contaminated with a bad habit when he was living on the streets, and it was difficult to change it for a while, but he still refused to change it when he arrived at the Hebei Sword Society, and finally Zheng Wuqiu had no choice but to expel him from the division. ”

Yuan Shaowen couldn't survive in Jizhou, so he came to Taiyuan, because he had martial arts, he opened a small military attaché, taught martial arts, and soon got married and had children. Who knew that after a few years, the old mistake was committed again, and this time it was not an ordinary theft, but stole from the head of King Jin. There are many masters in the Jin family, which can he provoke? Not to mention that he broke one leg, he was also sent to prison. ”

After Yuan Shaowen's wife heard about it, she ran for help, who dared to help her go to the Jin Palace's palace to intercede, and came and went, not only did she not save her husband, but his wife was also in a hurry and died. This Yuan Shaowen was imprisoned in prison for more than a year, tortured, and finally the king of Jin decided to kill him to show the public, probably thinking that he had a broken leg and was weak and weak, so on the day he killed him, he just sent a few ordinary guards. ”

"Who would have thought that out of the city gate, this sick Yuan Shaowen would suddenly burst into flames, knock down the guards and escape. The king of Jin was furious and offered a reward of five hundred taels of silver for his head, and Yuan Shaowen had nowhere to stay in the Central Plains, so he fled to Rakshasa Island alone and never dared to come back. ”

Tian Zhiyu was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect this young man's father to be such a figure, and he suddenly felt a little difficult.
