Du Shenqing figured out Bao Tingxi's intentions, explained the use of his money, and asked him to find his brother Du Yi (also known as Shaoqing, Du Shenqing's twenty-fifth brother, the son of his fifth uncle) in Ganzhou Prefecture, and said: "My uncle He is an upright official. After his uncle passed away, he did not have ten thousand silver for his property. He was an idiot. Whenever someone told him something bad, he would give it to others. "Bao Tingxi asked for letters, but Du Shen refused and asked him to go first. Go to the caretaker of Shao Naigong's house, Wang Huzi, and teach him how to do what he likes.

Wang Huzi, who is good at Bao Tingxi, came to see Du Shaoqing. The fourth master from Wuyi Lane in Chuzhou was sitting there. Hearing that "this man was promoted by the late master", he warmly entertained him and asked the boy to join him. The prince invited Mr. Zhang Junmin, who was treating Mr. Lou, to accompany him. Wang Huzi came to report: "Wang Salt Merchant in the North Gate will celebrate his birthday tomorrow. Please invite the county lord and the young master to accompany the guests." Du Shaoqing refused.

One morning early one morning, Wang Huzi and Jiajue were talking. Mr. Zang San came to meet the young master. Du Shaoqing wanted to meet him. Mr. Zang San asked Du Shaoqing to go with him to visit Wang Zhixian. Mr. Du was a fool and refused, thinking that the Wang family was so stupid. A Jinshi who is in the ashes of a sect is not qualified to be visited by him. Du Shaoqing refused to let Zang San mention the matter of meeting Wang Zhixian again.

Tailor Yang knelt down and knelt down, crying loudly. He said that his mother died of a sudden illness, and he bought firewood and rice with his wages. He asked Du Shaoqing to lend him four taels of silver to buy coffin clothes for his mother. Du Shaoqing generously helped. Wang Huzi and Tailor Yang were ordered to exchange the box of clothes for twenty gold to bury their mother.

Du Shaoqing’s extraordinary feats

Lou Huanwen’s last words

Du Shaoqing personally sent Wang Huzhu to buy a piece of land , give Uncle Lou’s grandson a hundred taels of silver, and go back to live as a mistress, without telling Uncle Lou.

Zang Sanye knelt down and asked Du Shaoqing to borrow some silver. Du Shaoqing immediately agreed and asked Wang Huzi to send him some silver the next day. Du Shaoqing said that Wang Zhixian had been dismissed from his official position and had no place to live, so he ordered Butler Wang Huzi to invite Wang Zhixian to live in the Du Family Garden, and explained his intention to do so to Zang Sanye. Zhang Junmin studied for a fool and came to ask Du Shaoqing to donate 120 taels of silver to build a school palace for him, and Du agreed.

Bao Tingxi asked Du Shaoqing to reward him with his capital and teach a troupe again to support his family's life. Du Shaoqing promised to give him one hundred taels of silver and talk to him after he used it. Bao Tingxi knelt down to express his thanks.

Mr. Lou advised Du Shaoqing: Being generous and righteous depends on who you treat. He said that Zang Sanye, Zhang Junmin, and Bao Tingxi were all heartless people, and the butler Wang Huzi was even worse. Du Shaoqing cried and said: "I know everything." He took out a hundred and ten taels of silver and hired two teams of footmen to carry Mr. Lou back to his hometown of Taohong Town in Nanjing.

●Chapter 33

Du Shaoqing and his wife visited the mountains

Chi Hengshan friends discussed the ceremony

After Mr. Lou left, there was no one I advise Du Shaoqing to spend money like running water. Du Shaoqing took Wang Huzi and Jiajue to Nanjing to meet the Lu family's cousin. On the way, Wang Huzi took away twenty taels of silver and escaped.

At Zu Lu’s house in Cangxiang, I met Chi Hengshan, the professional master of my cousin Lu Huashi. Du Shaoqing and Chi Hengshan met with the grandson of Nanjing Prefect, Zang Ma + his husband, and Ma Chun, and went to Jinglan River. Chi Hengshan and Du Shaoqing went to Dongshuiguan to find Fang Yazi, rented a river house, and signed a lease. Du Shaoqing learned from Ji Weixiao that Du Shenqing had gone to the capital to take the exam.

Du Shaoqing and his wife were drinking in Qingliang Mountain. After getting drunk, he took his wife's hand and walked for more than a mile on the Qingliang Mountain.

When Du Shaoqing heard that Grand Administrator Lou had passed away on the 26th of the previous month, he burst into tears and prepared the memorial ceremony all night long. The next morning, I took a sedan chair to Taohong Town and cried several times in front of Mr. Lou's coffin. I used the money to perform Buddhist rituals for a few days. Before I left, I took dozens of taels of silver to buy land to bury Mr. Lou. The whole Lou family expressed their gratitude.

Master Li of the Governor's Department (originally a disciple of Ancestor Du) elected Du Shaoqing as the county's Confucian law official. Du Shaoqing sold the gold cup as dish money and went to Anqing to thank Mr. Li. After explaining why he didn't want to be an official, he returned to Nanjing. On the way, he had spent all his money and planned to pawn his clothes. Fortunately, a Laixia scholar who came to write poems for the master of Wuhu County paid for his tea.

Du Shaoqing and Shi Xiashi met the Fourth Master Wei of Chuzhou in the temple. The Fourth Master Wei gave him ten taels of silver as a plate fee and went home.

When Du Shaoqing learned that Chi Hengshan proposed to build a Taibo temple for Wu Taibo, the first sage in Nanjing, and asked everyone to donate money, Du Shaoqing said with great joy: "This is what it should be", and he wrote three hundred taels.

Du Shaoqing went to Beijing to be an official. Du pretended to be ill and told Master Deng not to come. Lady Du asked him why he was like this? Du Shaoqing thought: "Nanjing is a fun place. It's so happy to see flowers and drink wine every day!"

Chi Hengshan, Ma Chunshang, Qu Ma+Xianfu, Ji Weixiao, Qian Mazi, Liuhe's Mr. Gao, the current Imperial Academy student, all went to Xue's house for a banquet. During the dinner, when Ji Weixiao mentioned that Brother Du from Tianzhang was more heroic than his cousin from the Lou family, the old man started talking and said that Du Shaoqing was worthless. Everyone thinks that Du Shaoqing is a rare "wonderful person".

Ji Weixiao asked Du Shaoqing to marry another beautiful woman. Du Shaoqing believed that marrying a concubine was the most unjust thing.

Zhuang Shaoguang went to Beijing according to the order. On the way, he met Sun Jieguan and Xiao Haoxuan in the Xinjia Inn. The next day when we were walking together, we met a thief in the woods. Xiao Haoxuan's bow string was broken and he could not resist. Jie Guan was so frightened that he pulled back his horse and ran away. The thief drove hundreds of animals and carried the silver scabbard to the path. Zhuang Shaoguang sat in the car and dared not speak for a long time. Xiao Haoxuan heard in a small shop that the thief was an accomplice of the shop owner Zhao Da. He pulled out a lock of his own hair, stringed his bow, caught up with the thief, and holding the slingshot in hand, the thief fled with his head in his arms like a heavy rain hitting a lotus leaf, and took back the silver scabbard.

The Holy Emperor asked for help

Zhuang Zhengjun resigned from his title and returned home

Thirty-five years of Jiajing On the sixth day of October, Zhuang Zhengjun paid homage to the emperor at the Meridian Gate Fengtian Hall, and received him for the second time on the eleventh day. The emperor asked him, "Who comes first in this matter of upbringing?" Zhuang Zhengjun had a scorpion in his turban and felt a little pain in his head and heart, so he had to say: "Let me think carefully and then start the memorial," the emperor agreed. The next day, he wrote down ten strategies for his upbringing in detail, and wrote another one: "Ask for the gift to return to the mountain."

A few days later, the emperor sat down in the throne room and asked the Taibao: "The ten policies Zhuang Shangzhi has recommended are profound in knowledge. Can this person be used as an assistant to Bi?" The Taibao thought: "Although Zhuang is an outstanding talent, he is very knowledgeable." It would be inappropriate to use him if he was not a Jinshi. "The emperor had no choice but to allow Zhuang Zhengjun to return to the mountain, and gave him 500 taels of internal money, and also gave him Yuanwu Lake in Nanjing to write a book.

On his way back to Nanjing, Zhuang Zhengjun stayed at a farmhouse, because the old woman died and had no money to buy a coffin, which was left at home. At the third watch, the old woman's body was gone, and the old man could only breathe out but not in. Zhuang Zhengjun spent dozens of taels of silver to buy coffins and land, and hired people to carry and bury the two old people.

In order to avoid the visit of the local squire, Zhuang Zhengjun moved to Yuanwu Lake overnight.

One day, Marquis Lu Xin came by ferry to see Lord Zhuang Zheng. The Zhongshan Palace sent hundreds of troops to capture Marquis Lu Xin. In order to prevent Zhuang Jun from being implicated, Lu Xinhou was imprisoned the next day. Zhuang Zhengjun wrote more than a dozen letters and sent people to Beijing to ask the court officials to intercede for Lu. Lu Xinhou was released and the leader was questioned.
