Chapter 20 The Nineteenth Chapter of Kuang Chaoren's Luckily Good Friend Pan Ziye Succeeds in Misfortune

It is said that Kuang Chaoren slept upstairs, and when he heard a guest coming to pay his respects, he hurriedly got dressed and went downstairs.I saw a man sitting downstairs, wearing an official scarf, wearing a non-satin straight gown, thick-soled soap boots with shrimp film heads, yellow beard, high cheekbones, yellow and black skin, and a pair of straight eyes.When the man saw Kuang Chaoren coming down, he asked, "Is this Mr. Kuang Er?" Said that your second minister is here to save the province." Kuang Chao said humanely: "So it is Brother Pan." Hastily bowed and saluted, please go upstairs and sit down.Pan Sandao: "The Er Xianggong took care of me that day, but I was not at home. When I returned home the day before yesterday, I saw my brother's letter, praising Er Xianggong for being smart and doing many good deeds. It is really respectable." I specially went to the third brother and didn't want to go on a business trip. I am very happy to meet you today."

After all, I went down to get tea by myself, and asked the bookstore to buy two plates of snacks.Come upstairs.Pan San was watching Dou Fang there, and when he saw the dim sum arrived, he said, "Oh! What are you doing?" Holding the tea in his hand, he pointed to the wall and said. "Second Master, what are you doing with these people before you go to the province?" Kuang Chaoren asked what was the matter.Pan Sandao: "This group of people are well-known idiots. This kerchief shop surnamed Jing originally had a capital of two thousand silver, and he finished his poems in one meal. He was in the shop every day, holding a brush in his hand to clean his kerchiefs. , still humming "there is a lot of rain during the Qingming Festival", and laughed at the man who bought the turban and the neighbors in the store. Now that he has lost his capital, he only uses this as an excuse to write poems, and he borrows money when he meets people, and people hear him I'm afraid. The man surnamed Zhi was a tour merchant in Yanwu. When I came home, I heard in the yamen that he was drunk and reciting poems on the street, and was chained away by the second uncle of the mansion. , All the merchants have been banned, and you will have to be poor in the future! Er Xianggong, you have to do some thoughtful things with the customers, why do people like this hang around with him?"

After eating two snacks, he threw them away and said, "What is he doing with this snack? I'll go to the street to eat with you." Ask Kuang Chaoren to lock the door, and go to a restaurant in front of the boss on the street together.Pan San asked to cut a whole duck, sold sea cucumber mixed with fried rice, and a large plate of white meat, and brought them all up.Seeing Mr. Pan in the restaurant, the crap is out, the duck and meat are all picked up and cut up with good fat, and the sea cucumber is mixed with seasoning and used as ingredients.The two poured two jugs of wine first.After drinking and eating, the rest was given to the shopkeepers.It doesn't count when you come out, just order: "It's mine." The owner of the shop hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Third Master, please go ahead, the shop knows."

Walking out of the shop, Pan San said, "Second Master, where are you going now?" Kuang Chao said humanely, "I'm about to go to the third brother's house." Inside, there is a blue wall, two half-section doors, and two heavy doors.Entering the hall, a group of people gambled around a table. Pan San scolded: "You bastards, you mess around with me if you have nothing to do!" Everyone said: "I know how many days the third father will be home. Let me send you a few cents to welcome my father." Pan San said: "What kind of money do I want from you?" He said again: "Forget it, I have a friend here, and you can make some money to have fun." Kuang Chaoren wants to salute him.He stopped him and said, "I just saw it, why are you bowing? You just sit down." Then he went in, took out two thousand coins, and said to the crowd: "Brothers, this is the two thousand coins from Erxiang Kuang , let it be with you, today’s first money is his.” Xiang Kuangchao said: “Second Master, you sit here and look at this pipe. When the pipe is full, you pour it out and collect it. They throw it again." Then he pulled a chair for Kuang Chaoren to sit on, and he was beside him.

After watching for a while, a man walked in to ask Mr. Pan to speak.When Pan San went out to see, it turned out that it was Wang Laoliu who ran a casino.Pan San said: "Lao Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you looking for me?" Lao Liu said: "Please talk to the third master outside." Pan San walked out with him and sat down in a secluded tea room.Wang Laoliu said: "Now there is one thing. I can make a small fortune and come all the way to discuss with the third master." Pan San asked what it was.Lao Liu said: "Yesterday, Kuaishou in the Qiantang County Yamen took a group of bachelors to gang rape in Maojiapu. The raped one was a maid who escaped from a wealthy family in Yueqing County. Her name was Hehua. This group of bachelors was doing a good job of raping, and they were picked up by Kuaishou. I came to report to the official. The county prince released the bachelors with dozens of boards each. He was on a business trip and sent the lotus back to Yueqing. There is a rich man named Hu in my countryside. He fell in love with this girl. Discuss that if we can find a way to hide this girl, I am willing to pay several hundred silver to buy her. Do you have an idea?" Pan Sandao: "Who is the messenger?" Wang Laoliu said: "Yellow Ball." Pan Sandao: " Did the yellow ball go away by yourself?" Wang Laoliu said: "No, it was sent by two deputies." Pan San said: "When did you go?" Wang Laoliu said: "It's been a day." Pan San said: "Huang Qiu Does Qiu know about the Hu family?" Wang Laoliu said: "Why don't you know, he also wants to make some money here, but there is no way." Pan San said: "It's not difficult, you go and ask Huang Qiu to come. Discuss in person," the man agreed and went.

Pan San was sitting alone eating tea, but another person came in in a panic, and said, "Father San! I didn't look for you there, so I was sitting here drinking tea alone!" Pan San said, "You're looking for What do I do?" The man said: "Forty miles away from the city, there is a villager Shi Meiqing who sells his sister-in-law and Huang Xiangfu. The money is all exchanged. The sister-in-law must observe the festival and refuse to marry. Shi Meiqing discussed with the matchmaker to snatch it. , The matchmaker said: "I don't know your brother-in-law, you have to tell me something. " Shi Meiqing said: "every morning, my brother-in-law comes out to hold firewood behind the house. "The people acted according to the plan, and robbed the house the next day. I didn't want to think that the younger sister-in-law didn't come out that morning, but he was the one holding the firewood, so they robbed it. Thirty or forty miles away, it was already I slept all night. Shi Meiqing came to ask for his wife, but this place refused. Shi Meiqing filed a lawsuit. Now there is a lawsuit over there, but because they have not written a marriage letter during the wedding season, there is no evidence. Now they want to write one, and the villagers are not here. Okay, let's discuss with my father. I also entrust my father to take care of the affairs in the yamen, and I have a few taels of silver as envoy fees." Pan Sandao: "What is this important thing? It's such a fuss! Just sit down , I'll wait for Huangtou to speak."

After a while, Wang Laoliu and Huang Qiu arrived.When Huang Qiu saw the man, he said, "So Hao's second son is here too." Pan San said, "It's irrelevant, he was talking about something else." Because he sat down at the same table with Huang Qiu.Wang Laoliu and Hao Laoer are at the same table again.Huang Qiu said: "Just now, what did the third father do?" Pan San said: "How much money did he pay?" Give two hundred taels of silver." Pan San said: "How much do you want to earn him?" Huang Qiu said: "As long as the third father handles this matter properly, I will only pay a few taels of silver for the benefit, so should I still compete with you old man? "Pan Sandao: "In that case, that's all. There is a gentleman from Yueqing County living in my house. He is the best with the uncle in Yueqing County. I took it with myself. I will ask someone to get a red stick from this county, drive the lotus back on the road, and take it to Hu's house. How about this method?" Huang Qiu said: "This is very good. It's just a matter of fact. It shouldn't be too late, the old man is going to do it." Pan San said: "There is a red stick today, you ask him to get the silver quickly." Huang Qiu agreed and went with Wang Laoliu.Pan San called Hao Laoer: "Come with me."

Now that the two of them came to the house, the gambling has not yet broken up.Pan San saw that the gambling was over, sent everyone out, and left Kuang Chaoren to say, "Second Master, you live here, and I will talk to you." He stayed upstairs at the back and wrote a draft of a marriage letter, called Kuang Chaoren. After writing it, take it to Hao's second son and ask him to pick up the silver tomorrow.Send Hao Er away.After dinner, I lit the lamp, read back the criticism, and asked Kuang Chaoren to write it.There are many fake seals carved with dried tofu at home. I took them out and used them. I also took out a vermilion pen and asked Kuang Chaoren to write a vermilion sign for the return document.After finishing the work, he took out the wine and drank it, and said to Kuang Chaoren: "It seems like this is something to think about, and it's not a waste of energy. What's the trouble with those stupid plagues!" Shiye let him sleep.The next morning, both places sent money, Pan San took it in, and then handed over twenty taels of silver to Kuang Chaoren, asking him to take it to his apartment as a fee.Kuang Chaoren happily picked it up, and when he met him, he also brought some home to add capital to his brother.There are also some articles in the bookstore for him to choose.Pan San took him to pay him a few liang of silver for everything, and his body gradually became more glamorous.Sure enough, after listening to Pan San's words, he had little contact with famous people there.

I don't think I've lived here for two years.One day, Pan San came up and said, "Er Xianggong, I won't see you for a few days. Let's go to the street to have three drinks with you." Kuang Chaoren locked the door of the building and walked to the street together.After walking a few steps, I saw a young man from Pan's family come and said, "A guest is waiting for the third master to talk at home." Pan San said, "Second Master, you can go with my house." Sit down in the small guest seat in the inner room.Pan San was outside with that man, Pan San said: "Brother Li, long time no see, where has he been?" Li Si said: "I have always been in front of the Taoist yamen. Today I have something to discuss. I am afraid that the third master is not at home, and now I will talk about it." Third master, this matter is not inappropriate." Pan Sandao: "Why are you talking nonsense? I work with you, and you are like 'cutting vegetables in a horseshoe knife and scoop without leaking', and you will never release money." Li Sidao: "This matter is rich." Pan Sandao: "Tell me what it is." Li Sidao: "Now that the master is in Shaoxing, there is a Jin Dongya who has worked in the ministry for several years and earned a few money. Come, now I want my son to go to school. His son is called Jin Yue, but he can't understand a single word. The exam is coming soon, and he needs to find a substitute. This scholar is very strict, so he must come up with a new method. So we have to discuss with the third master." Pan Sandao: "How much money is he willing to pay?" Li Sidao: "A scholar in Shaoxing is worth a thousand taels. Now he is walking on a small road, half of which requires him to be five hundred taels. It's just rare right now. This person who is a test taker must have pretended what kind of person to go in? How much is the fee for the test? How much is the total fee for the yamen? How do you divide the rest?" Pan Sandao: "Tong There is a total of five hundred taels of silver. If you still want to share a member here, there is no need to talk about it. You have to get some thanks from him, and you don't have to think about it here." Li Sidao: "Third Master, it's up to you It's all right. How do you do it?" Pan Sandao: "Don't worry about it, I am also the person who takes the exam, and I am also in charge of the yamen. You just ask him to cash out the five hundred taels of silver and seal it in the pawn shop. , and give me another thirty taels of silver as a fee, and I will always hire him as a scholar. If he is not allowed to go to school, five hundred taels will not move at all. Is it appropriate?" Li Sidao: "That's nothing to say." It's decided now , make an appointment to seal the silver.

Pan San sent Li Si out, and came back and said to Kuang Chaoren, "Second Master, you are needed for this matter." Kuang Chaoren said, "I just heard about it. I have to take the exam. I passed the article outside, or did I go in and take the test for him? If I want to go in and take the test for him, I don't have the guts." Pan Sandao: "I don't want to visit, I'm here! How can I harm you? Wait until he seals the money Come, I have to go to Shaoxing with you." That night, I left and went back to my apartment. After a few days, Pan San really came to move his luggage and went with him, crossed the Qiantang River, and came to Shaoxing Mansion, where he found an apartment in a secluded alley at the gate of Xuedao.The next day, Li Si took the boy for a meeting.Pan San inquired and found out that the grand master was listed for the Kuaiji examination. At midnight, he took Kuang Chaoren and quietly went to the door of the classroom.Take out a tall black hat, a blue cloth dress, and a red bag, and tell him to take off his clothes except the square scarf, and then put on this outfit.Whispering, so and so, there must be no mistake.Sending him to the classroom, Pan San took his coat and hat and went.

After handing over five drums, learning Taoism and three cannons, Superman held water and fire sticks, followed a group of military prisons for night service, yelled in, and stood in line at the second gate.Xuedao came out to roll the roll, and when he called Tongsheng Jinyue, Kuang Chaoren gave him a wink. The Tongsheng was confirmed by the note, so he didn't return to his number, and stood quietly in the shadows.Kuang Chaoren stepped back a few steps, went up to Tongsheng, hid behind him, took off his hat and put it on with Tongsheng, and exchanged clothes with each other.The boy held the water and fire stick and stood there.Kuang Chaoren took the paper and returned it to the number, made a fuss, and only handed in the paper when it was placed on the third or fourth card.When the crime was committed, Jin Yue made great progress. Pan San went home with him and took two hundred taels of silver as payment.Pan Sandao: "Er Xianggong, now that you've got this windfall, don't waste it and do something serious." Kuang Chao said humanely: "What serious business?" Pan San said: "You are full of service now, and you have never married Marriage. I have a friend, surnamed Zheng, who works in the yamen of the Fuyuan. This father Zheng is a very honest man, and both father and son are in the yamen. He has a third daughter and asked me to be a matchmaker for him. Thinking of you, you are of the same age, because you have no money, I have never seriously said it for you; now as long as you are willing, I will say it, and you will end up recruiting in his house, and all the money and courtesy I'll help you with the cost." Kuang Chaoren said: "This is something that the third brother loves so much, why am I not willing? It's just that the money is here now, why do you need to spend money?" Pan San said: " You don't know, your husband's family has a shallow and narrow house, and you are recruited. It is expected that you will save some money to find two houses for yourself. In the future, you will add another person to eat, and you will have boys and girls. You and I are one person, and if you help me with a few taels of money, why should I share it with each other? When you become prosperous in the future, why don’t you worry about my feelings?” Kuang Chaoren was really grateful, and Pan San really went to tell Old Dad Zheng, After taking the Geng Tie, I just asked Kuang Chaoren for twelve taels of silver to exchange for some jewelry and four pieces of clothes. After the ceremony, I decided to marry on October 15th. On that day, Pan San prepared several bowls of dishes and invited him to have breakfast.While eating, he said to him, "Second Master, I'm a matchmaker, and I'll take you there today. You've invited a matchmaker for this feast of wine." Kuang Chaoren laughed when he heard that.After eating, he asked Kuang Chaoren to take a bath, changed into new clothes inside and out, a new square scarf on his head, and new boots on his feet. Pan San took out a new sapphire blue satin straight gown and put it on with him.The auspicious time has come, call Liangcheng Bridge, and they sit down.A pair of lanterns in front of the sedan chair came to marry.Father Zheng's family lives in an alley next to the Governor's Yamen, there are three rooms in front of one door.When the bridegroom came to the door that day, the door was closed there.Pan San took out 200 yuan as opening money, and opened the door.Father Zheng came out to welcome him. When Weng and his son-in-law saw it, they realized that it was the person who went back to the same boat that year. This marriage was really a long-standing cause.At that moment, Kuang Chaoren paid homage to his father-in-law, and then went in to pay homage to his mother-in-law.Uncle kowtowed flatly.The Zheng family set up a table to take care of them. Pan San ate for a while and said goodbye.The Zheng family invited Kuang Chaoren into the new house, and saw that the bride was upright, good-looking, and full of joy.There is no need to elaborate on the marriage.The next morning, Pan San gave him another table of wine to thank him.The Zheng family invited Pan San to accompany them and ate for a day. The full moon flies by, Zheng's house is small and inconvenient to live in.Pan San mortgaged four rooms for him near the bookstore, priced at 40 taels of silver, and bought some tables, chairs and things, and moved in.Please ask your neighbors to buy two stones of rice. The silver you have saved is gone.Fortunately, everything is done cheaply because of Pan San's help.Thanks to the bookstore, I found two articles and selected them. I got a few taels of gold and a sample book. I sold some to make ends meet.After arriving for more than a year, a daughter was born, and the husband and wife got along well. One day, as I was standing by the gate, I suddenly saw a man in green clothes and a big hat asking all the way. When he came to his eyes, he said, "Is this Mr. Kuang's house in Yueqing?" Kuang Chao said, "Exactly, where did Taijia come from? "The man said: "I was sent to Zhejiang by Mr. Li during the incident, and I have a book to bring with Mr. Kuang." Hearing this, Kuang Chaoren hurriedly invited the man to enter the guest seat and sit down.After taking out the book and reading it, I realized that it was because his teacher was sent to the trial, and the participation in the trial was a false request, and he was still reinstated.In less than a few months, he went to Beijing and awarded it to Shizhong.This time I sent a letter to ask the head of the sect to come to Beijing to take care of him.Kuang Chaoren left someone for dinner and dinner, and wrote a letter, saying: "I was called by the teacher, and I packed up my luggage in a few days, and I will come to teach you." After sending it away, he immediately took the book from his brother Kuangda, saying that the master is coming. In Wenzhou, the cards for Qiji have arrived, and he is asked to come back to take the exam.Kuang Chaoren didn't dare to be negligent, so he told his wife, and while picking up his mother-in-law as a companion, he packed up his bags and went to take the annual exam.After passing the exam, the master really praised him, and he took the first class; he was given the title of excellent practice, and he was a tribute to Taixue. He thanked the master happily.The grand master got up on his horse, sent him off, and went back to the province as before. He discussed with Pan San that he would go back to Yueqing Township to hang plaques and erect flagpoles. He went to the brocade shop to weave three supplementary clothes: one for himself, one for his mother, and one for his wife.When the preparations were complete, another meeting was made in various bookstores.Three taels per store, and each store gave another congratulatory gift. Just about to go home on another day, Jing Lanjiang came to wait for him that day, and invited him to have a drink in the hotel.During the meal, Jing Lanjiang was really envious when Superman Kuang told him these words.After talking about Pan San, Jing Lanjiang said: "Don't you know?" Kuang Chao said humanely: "What's the matter? I don't know." Jing Lanjiang said: "Pan San took it last night, and he is already in prison " Kuang Chaoren was shocked and said: "That's the case! I only took him at noon yesterday, why did I take it?" Jing Lanjiang said: "It's absolutely true. Otherwise, I don't know. I have a relative here The county is used as a punishment room, Lingzao is the birthday of Sheqin, I was there to celebrate my birthday, and everyone in the house said this, so I heard it. It turned out that the visit card from Futai came down, and the county magistrate did not dare to delay, and he went on a business trip to get it in the middle of the night , I was afraid that he would leave, so he surrounded the front and back doors and got it immediately. The county magistrate didn't ask anything, but just took down the money slip: show it to him. He didn't argue after reading it, just went to After kowtowing a few times, he was sent to the prison. After walking a few steps, when he reached the entrance of the hall, the magistrate called someone to come back and ordered him to send his internal number to stay with the robber. This man suffered a lot after that. If you If you don’t believe me, I’ll go with you to see the bill at She’s in-law’s house.” Kuang Chao said humanely, “This is very good, Mr. Fei’s kind heart led me to see what the visit was about.” The two of them agreed immediately, Get out of the hotel and walk all the way to Xingfang's house. The punishment room is surnamed Jiang, and there are still some guests sitting at home. When you see two people coming, please sit down in the study and ask them why they came.Jing Lanjiang said: "This poor friend wants to borrow the money slip from Pan San that the county took last night."The signboard reads: I interviewed Pan Ziye (Pan San), a traitor in the market, who used the vassal office to occupy his body, control the government, take up lawsuits, spread private debts, poison the good people, and do everything. How can such a villain be allowed to stay in broad daylight for a moment!For this reason, Paiyang County is about to capture the criminal, and strictly examine and report him, so that he can be punished according to the law.Do not violate.Hurry up!Hurry up! There are more than a dozen items on the bill: 1. How many taels of money and food for deception; 1. Several cases of private and human life; ; 1. Several cases of kidnapping people: 1. Several cases of expropriation and deprivation of people, threatening the death of ordinary people, 1. Several cases of procuring school yamen, buying and ordering gunmen to take exams for them; ... cannot be described in detail.Kuang Chaoren didn't want to look at it, but when he saw this list, he felt a swish, and his soul went out through the top door.Because of this, there are different teachings:
