Here in Qingliu Town, there is a scholar Lin Xuan living. This person is already twenty-five years old this year, but he still has not gotten married.
Because this son is alone, his parents have died long ago, no one cares about his relatives on his mother's side, and his father has only one aunt and he is still married for hundreds of miles. So in this town, Mr. Lin Xuan is alone.
Lin Xuan has been studying and literate since he was a child. His parents were looking forward to him being the first to be a winner. Now he has no way of living, he just knows how to study, and the ones that can be sold at home have sold almost the same.
After persisting like this for several years, he took the exam several times in a row, but still failed. Lin Xuan was also discouraged.
At night, I lit the candlelight and drank the wine alone, but ended up falling asleep. The candle lit the table and then lit the room.
Fortunately, he woke up in time, otherwise, he should be buried in the fire.
But even after waking up, Lin Xuan looked at the home that was about to burn to ashes, and he had the urge to jump in and had no motivation to survive.
But after thinking about it, although his parents died early, they had a ardent expectation for him and expected him to be proud of his ancestors. Thinking of this, Lin Xuan stopped.
neighbors, etc., were also alarmed. Everyone was busy putting out the fire together. It was not really trying to save it, but if they didn't save it, then everyone was in trouble.
was busy until the early morning when the fire was put out. Li Xuan looked at the ruins and just sighed, his face full of despair.
The neighbors around comforted him and ignored him. Lin Xuan searched around the house to see if there was anything valuable.
result. After searching for a long time, I only found half a bowl, which did not look like porcelain, because the gap was very flat.
The scholar thought about it and remembered something. Before his father died, he told him something, saying that he had a marriage when he was a child. The woman's family was a businessman, but the family moved and later lost contact, so he gave up the matter.
This half bowl is the voucher.
Holding half a bowl, Lin Xuan smiled bitterly and sighed. Now, except for the clothes on his body, he only has half a bowl in his hand, and there is nothing else.
Now he has become a beggar-like figure. He holds the bowl and thinks about it, and simply walks towards the east, because it is far away from acquaintances, as if there are no relatives and friends in that direction.
From the moment he walked out of the town, the scholar became a beggar, and had a disheveled face and began his begging career.
As for the knowledge in my heart, it has disappeared at this moment, and I can only have the idea of having enough food.
I don’t know how many months it will be or a year, but Lin Xuan doesn’t know how far it is after walking around, and when he encounters a good place, he may stay for ten days and half a month.
On this day, when I arrived in a town, I felt the prosperity and scale of the town as soon as I got close to the town. Although it was just a town, it was estimated that it would look like at least 10,000 or 20,000 people.
There are three horizontal roads in total, with more vertical directions, interspersed and orderly. Here on the main street, the roads are very wide, and the shops and stalls on both sides are almost full, and there are shouting and selling everywhere.
When he arrived here, Lin Xuan was stunned. It was the first time he had encountered a town of this size, which was even more lively than an ordinary county town.
took the half bowl and entered the town and started begging along the street.
Not to mention, it is a wealthy place. Before we can go far, we have to reach a steamed bun, and there are still a few cents.
put the money in his arms, found the entrance of the alley with few people, and crawled in.
Go to the alley and prepare to find a place where no one is to eat, but walk into it, but finds that there is a person lying in the corner.
From the extent of his unkempt head and face, he was definitely an old beggar. But this person, with a burst of breath and a painful humming, Lin Xuan understood that this person was probably sick.
didn't think much about it, and quickly possessed himself, touched the person's forehead, but it was hot, and then searched the person's body and found a few taels of silver.
It seems that being a beggar in this town is really a blessing. Without thinking too much, he helped the old beggar up and walked towards the main street.
After inquiring, I arrived at the clinic. Although the doctor was a little disgusted, for the sake of money, I still showed it to me. I grabbed the medicine but didn't leave. I simply asked the clinic to decoct the medicine and then swallowed it here.
This has been the case for several consecutive days, and this old beggar is finally getting better.
Until it was done, the old beggar looked at Lin Xuan and said: Boy! I want to thank you for saving my life.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: I have become a beggar, so I can’t thank you or not.
Although the old beggar just recovered, his eyes were extremely bright and he said with deep meaning: I will repay you. I see that your half bowl is interesting, can you show me it!
Lin Xuan handed it over, the old beggar looked at it, nodded, and asked: Do you want to find the other half bowl?
Hearing this, Lin Xuan was shocked and asked: Do you know the whereabouts of the other half bowl?
The old beggar smiled and said: Not only I know, many people here know that the lady in the Zhao family is said to have an engagement with someone, and even if this half of the bowl is a token, this matter has spread long ago, but if you take the bowl like this, you will probably be beaten out. This matter has to be planned.
Lin Xuan was immediately excited, and the dead heart finally showed a flame of hope.
At this moment, a scholar came to the entrance of the alley. When the old beggar saw it, he was very happy and said: The opportunity has come. This person is a little famous locally and has also asked to marry Miss Zhao's family, but he was rejected. If he gave him the bowl, it would definitely be successful. Afterwards, we cried in front of the door. This person would definitely not lie, and the matter would be successful.
After this person approaching, the old beggar whispered: Remember to pretend to be stupid!
Lin Xuan was listening to everything at this moment. When the scholar approached, he smiled foolishly. Half of the bowl was thrown directly on the ground by him, and at the same time he smiled: Eat! eat! eat!
The man was startled and looked down at the half bowl. A light suddenly appeared in his eyes. He picked it up directly, looked left and right, as if he had confirmed something, then stared at Lin Xuan and asked: Is this yours?
The old beggar pretended to be sleeping, and Lin Xuan only had one word, that is to eat.
The scholar was immediately happy when he saw this. He took a piece of silver from his arms, threw it over, and said: He turned out to be a fool. He could not marry a lady. I gave this item to me. Please buy food for this little silver!
After saying that, he turned around and left, but went to Zhao's mansion.
When he saw him walking away, the old beggar laughed and said: Let’s wait and go to Zhao’s house to complain, and then say that your thing was stolen by this scholar Su Yuan. In this way, things will be easier.
Lin Xuan felt polite when he heard this, just because he was afraid that he would sink into the sea with his things alone. In this way, everyone would know that this might happen.
After a stick of incense, the old beggar took him to a big mansion. The old beggar shouted at the door: Teach the thief, otherwise I will report to the official.
Lin Xuan is the same, shouting here.
Sure enough, when the door saw it was a beggar, he planned to kill him away, but the more people gathered, so he had to ask the Zhao family's official staff. This person was very proud and felt strange, so he walked out.
When I saw the two, I wondered: When did my family steal your things?
The old beggar sneered: You didn’t steal it, but the scholar Su Yuan stole it. He is in your house at this moment.
The old man felt strange when he heard this and asked: What did he steal?
The old beggar pointed at Lin Xuan and said: He stole half of my brother’s bowl!
dozens of people watched. After hearing this, these people immediately started to discuss heatedly. The old man was also stunned, staring at Lin Xuan with a look of surprise, without asking much questions. At this moment, the scholar walked out.
The old beggar pointed at him and cursed: What a hypocritical scholar, he actually stole half of my brother's bowl. Do you agree?
The scholar's face turned red when he heard this, and he was confused and said: This is all the fault, so he returned your bowl.
said, and handed over the half bowl.
Among the crowd, one of them said: Mr. Zhao, isn’t this your token of your lady?
Everyone started talking one after another. The old man had no choice but to take half of the bowl over, checked it, but was really stunned. He looked at Lin Xuan and asked: What is your surname?
Lin Xuan then bowed and said: My surname is Lin!
The old man was stunned when he heard this, as if he was moved, and said: It seems that he can't be wrong! Come in with me!
In the eyes of everyone, this person was very proud of his face, and the old beggar whispered: Go! This is done!
Lin Xuan bowed and said: Thank you!
After a flash, Lin Xuan, who had returned to the scholar's dress, became the son-in-law of the Zhao family.
The story is over!
The editor said: After this scholar Lin Xuan fell into ruin, he could still help him when he saw a sick beggar. It can be seen that he was kind-hearted, but he got the help of the old beggar and found his destined wife. It can be regarded as rewarding for goodness.
