repay a debt of gratitude
Liu Yunke studied hard since childhood and got excellent grades. After studying hard at the cold window for ten years, he is knowledgeable and outstanding. This year, the court started classes, and Liu Yunke went to Beijing to catch the exam. Although the expenses he brought were not very rich, if he scrimped and saved, he wouldn't suffer losses on the road. Liu Yunke studied at home since childhood, never traveled far away, and was not good at financial management. Since he got on the road, he has been generous in food and accommodation, and whenever he meets his classmates and friends, he will pay for the guests. So I spent all my travel expenses before I got to Beijing, and I was trapped in a shop.
One day, Liu Yunke was worried in the shop. A guest from Shanxi came and lived in a shop with him. This guest is a jeweler and has made a fortune in business in recent years. After washing, the merchant chatted with Liu Yunke. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the businessman asked Liu Yunke, "I think you look sad and pale." Are you sick? "
Liu Yunke blushed at this question and said shyly, "To tell you the truth, I ran out of money when I went to Beijing to catch the exam."
The businessman asked, "Where does Juzi live? What's his name? "
Liu Yunke replied: "My family lives in Liulou Village, Wenshang County, Shandong Province. My last name is Liu, and my name is Yunke. "
Businessmen listened to Liu Yunke's elegant talk, and when they looked closely, they saw his good looks and outstanding talents, and they knew that he was a talent. This merchant also knows a little about literature and ink, and intends to try Liu Yunke's talent. He said, "You have nothing to do with me now. Why don't you write a poem and let me learn? "
Liu Yunke did not hesitate to grind ink and spread paper, and wrote a poem:
Dapeng spread his wings and Wan Li begged,
Unexpectedly, I gave up halfway.
If there are regrets in the world,
Apprentices help tall buildings.
Merchants see Liu Yunke in trouble, but his poems are verve and his words are vigorous and generous. If he can get this subject, he will think it over. He said: "I think Juzi's appearance is extraordinary, and I only have wisdom." If I miss the exam date, I won't delay my future in life. I have a hundred taels of silver here, so hurry up and take the exam! "
Liu Yunke was pleasantly surprised and asked, "How can we meet by chance and receive such a generous gift from the guest officer?"
The merchant said, "What does it matter? Vulgarization, we met. We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? . It is natural to share weal and woe, but don't forget me in the future. " Then take out one hundred and twenty pieces of silver to Liu Yunke.
Liu Yunke gratefully took the silver, took a pen and paper and handed it to the businessman. He said, "Please give your name and hometown to my brother so that I can repay him later."
The businessman said, "My surname is Wu, and I am blessed with a single name. I live in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province. " Say, write your name and address to Liu Yunke. Liu Yunke put away the silver and the address of the merchant and said to the merchant, "You and I have known each other for a lifetime. If Engo doesn't mind, how about we get married in Jin Lan? " Wu Fu readily agreed. The two put on the incense table and kowtowed and vowed to become brothers of the opposite sex. When Wu Fuchang was two years old, Yun was his brother, but Yun was not his brother. After that, I asked for a table and drinks, and they had a good time.
The next morning, Wu Fu handed the money in the shop to Liu Yunke, and they broke up on the road. When leaving, Wu Fu said to Liu Yunke, "Brothers, take care all the way here. I wish you success in Beijing and don't forget to be your brother in the future. "
Liu Yunke quickly said, "Don't worry, brother. I will never forget my brother's great kindness in the future. If I am ungrateful, God forbid. "
Father Wu quickly said, "Dear brother, your words are too heavy. It is getting late. See you later. Let's hit the road. " Come on, let's say goodbye with tears.
After Liu Yunke arrived in Beijing, he became really famous. Later, the official position grew bigger and bigger until he was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian to take charge of Jiangnan. At this time, Liu Yun was not the victim of that year, but the famous Sanliu.
