Why is he here?" They bowed to each other.Zhang Tiebi was also embarrassed when he saw Qu's husband, his face was lost in thought.After having tea and saying goodbye for a while, Ma Chunshang and Qu Yanfu resigned.Du Shaoqing sent out the gate.Lian Yanfu asked: "this surname is Zhang, how does brother Yin get along with him?" Du Shaoqing said, "his name is Zhang Junmin, and he lives in our county forever." , I said a few words about these things in Zhejiang, and said: "This person is not compatible, Shaoqing needs to be careful." Du Shaoqing said: "I know."Du Shaoqing came back to Hefang and asked Zhang Junmin, "Mr. Jun, was your name Zhang Tiebi?"Du Shaoqing didn't ask anymore.Zhang Tiebi saw that people had seen through his appearance, so he couldn't hide. After a few days, he took Zang Liazhai back to Tianchang. Xiao Jinxuan and the three of them owed the shop bill and money for food and drinks, so they couldn't go back, so they came to look for Du Shaoqing.Du Shaoqing paid a few taels of silver for the three of them, and the three of them also went home.Mr. Zong wants to go back to Huguang and ask Du Shaoqing for carpe diem.Du Shaoqing asks the question face to face, and sees him off. Just when Wu Shu came, Du Shaoqing said: "Brother Zhengzi, long time no see, where are these times?" It's also very interesting." Wu Shu said: "It's not interesting, there is a strange thing in it." Du Shaoqing said: "What strange thing?" Wu Shu said: "This time the imperial court ordered to screen out those who are studying in prison. , so the six exams were combined. That day, the superior ordered me to come down, let go of my feelings, and search carefully, just like the rural examination hall. The exam is two "Four Books" and one scripture. There is a friend who studies "Spring and Autumn" , He actually brought an engraved scripture in. He didn’t care if he brought it, he went up to tell Gong, put the scripture in the paper, and sent it to the hall. Fortunately, Teacher Yu was on duty, and there was someone in the adults who was with Teacher Yu Inspection. Teacher Yu uncovered the paper, saw this article, and hurriedly took it and hid it in the boot bucket. The inspector asked what it was, and Teacher Yu said it was irrelevant. When the person came back, he quietly handed it to him: "You can write it .But you just went to class and shouldn’t have brought it up in the paper. Fortunately, I saw it. If someone else saw it, what would happen?” The teacher refused to recognize it, and said: "There is no such sentence. You think it was a mistake yesterday, and it was not me." That day, my younger brother happened to be there to thank the test and saw it with my own eyes. The man went, and I asked Teacher Yu:' Why is the teacher refusing to admit this? Shouldn’t he be thanking me?” Teacher Yu said, “Scholars must maintain their integrity. He has no choice but to thank me. If I admit this again, he will have no place to stay.” But my younger brother didn’t recognize this friend. When I asked his name at that time, Teacher Yu refused to tell me. Sir, do you think this strange thing is rare?” Du Shaoqing said: “This is also a common thing for old people. Wu Shu said: "There is one more thing, it's even more ridiculous! A girl married by his family brother, he was married to a housekeeper surnamed Yan. That servant saw that the yamen was poor and had no money to find, so he resigned the day before yesterday and went to go. Teacher Yu never asked him for any money before, and matched the girl with him for nothing. Now he wants to take the girl out, and if someone else asks him for the girl's worth, I don't know how much. After hearing this, Teacher Yu said: "You two It’s okay for Kouzi to go out, but if he goes out, there is no rent or meal money.’ I gave him another ten taels of silver and sent it out, and then recommended him to be a long-term follower in a county magistrate’s office. Do you think it’s funny?” Du Shaoqing said He said: "What kind of conscience do these slaves have! But the old man rewarded him with silver twice, not because he wanted someone to say yes, so it's rare." He left Wu Shu for dinner. After Wu Shu resigned, he walked to Lishe bridge, and met a man wearing a square scarf and an old cloth straight skirt.The waist is tied with a silk sash, the feet are Bian straw shoes, the luggage is carried on the body, the gray beard is haggard and haggard.The man dropped his luggage and bowed to Wu Shu.Wu Shu said in surprise: "Mr. Guo, it's been three years since we left Jiangning Town, and you've been running there?" Down.The man said: "I have always traveled all over the world in search of my father. In the past, some people said that I was in Jiangnan, so I have been to Jiangnan three times. Now I heard people say that I am not in Jiangnan, and I have gone to the mountains of Sichuan to cut off my hair and become a monk. Now I'm going to Sichuan." Wu Shu said: "Poor! Poor! But sir, it's not easy to travel thousands of miles. I think there is a county magistrate in Xi'an, surnamed You, who was the same year as old Mr. Yu of our Imperial College. Teacher Yu asked Mr. Yu to write a book, and it is my husband who is on the way. If you don’t have enough money, you can also help me." The man said: "I am a man in the grass, where can I go to see the government of the country?" Wu Shu said: "It's okay. A few steps past here is Du Shaoqing's house. Sir, sit with me at Shaoqing's house, and I will ask for this book." The man said: "Du Shaoqing? But is it a hero who should not be enlisted that day?" Wu Shu said: "Exactly. "The man said: "I want to meet this man." Then he met the tea money, left the teahouse together, and came to Du Shaoqing's house together. Du Shaoqing came out to meet each other and asked, "what's your name, sir?" Wu Shu said: "this gentleman's surname is Guo, his name is Li, and his name is Tieshan. He has traveled all over the world for twenty years, looking for his father, the famous Guo Xiaozi." Du Shaoqing listened After hearing this, I greeted Guo Xiaozi from the new ceremony, and asked Guo Xiaozi to sit up, and asked, "Why has Mr. Tai Lao not heard about it for decades?" Guo Xiaozi couldn't tell.Wu Shu whispered in his ear, saying: "I used to be an official in Jiangxi and surrendered to King Ning, so I fled outside." After hearing this, Du Shaoqing was shocked.Seeing this kind of behavior, I respected him in my heart, said it, and left my luggage, "Sir, you have the right to stay at my house for one night, and we will go tomorrow." Guo Xiaozi said: "Mr. Shaoqing is a hero, and everyone knows it. Why don't you just stay overnight." Du Shaoqing went in and said to his wife, starched and washed Guo Xiaozi's clothes, and entertained him with food and wine.Come out to accompany Guo Xiaozi.When Wu Shu talked about asking Dr. Yu for the book, Du Shaoqing said: "This is easy. Mr. Guo sits with me, and Zheng Zi and I go to ask for the book." Because of this, there are different teachings:
