Chapter 14. After bargaining, Ma Chun paid 92 taels of silver and wrote a redemption document for Shuang Hong on behalf of Zang Gongsun before he could get the stolen box back. The messenger took most of the money. Huan Cheng and Shuang Hong left for a foreign land. After the matter was sorted out, Ma Chun went to Hangzhou. After arriving in Hangzhou, I traveled around for several days until I met an "immortal" named Hong Hanxian at the Ding Family Ancestral Hall.

Today I will mainly talk about the pitiful, ridiculous, pathetic, and lovely kind-hearted mediocrity Ma Chunshang. In fact, Mr. Ma was not used to eating vegetarian food. He came to the Gongsun family for a meal the day after they met. The menu that the Zang family entertained him was: a bowl of stewed duck, a bowl of boiled chicken, a fish, and a large bowl of simmered chicken. The rotten pork, Mr. Ma Er said happily: "You and I have met as close friends, no courtesy. You don't need to touch this fish, but the meat is good." After eating four bowls of rice, he finished a large bowl of rotten meat. Jing, gave him another bowl of rice, and even the soup was finished. Mr. Ma Er himself failed in the exams and became an article selector. He was very willing to give guidance. This was true for Qu Gongsun who came to ask for advice, and the same was true for Kuang Chaoren whom he met by chance on the street. The young man named Kuang Chaoren was living in rags in Hangzhou. Mr. Ma invited him to the bookstore, gave him a topic for him to write about, and gave him verbatim comments after reading it. He also taught him many writing methods. In addition, he also gave him gifts. Several anthologies, a cotton-padded jacket and ten taels of silver helped him return to his hometown and encouraged him to study. Mr. Ma is not a high-minded celebrity, but we can clearly feel the author's respect for him. Compared with some celebrities who are "elegant but so vulgar", Mr. Ma Er is vulgar and endearing. He is very sincere in his scholarship and treatment of others. Although Mr. Ma is poor, he is willing to spread wealth for his friends. And he's not lewd... When visiting the West Lake. Faced with all kinds of beauties, all he could think about was Mr. Ma Er who just wanted to eat. It can be said to be a must-have for making friends at home
