Chapter 55 Ding Qianxi

Ding Qianxi, a native of Zhucheng, is rich in Qiangu, and is a hero. He admires the ancient chivalrous Guo Jie and takes him as an example. Before the imperial history, Ding Qianxi didn't want to meet him and ran away secretly. He fled to Anqiu, and it rained heavily. He took refuge under the eaves of a hotel. At this time, a teenager came over and entertained him with dishes. The banquet was very sumptuous. In a blink of an eye, it was dark and it was raining all the time. The teenager asked Ding Qianxi to stay at home, provide food, take care of horses, and treat him warmly.

Ding Qianxi asked for the name of the teenager. The teenager said, "My master's surname is Yang, and I'm his nephew. The host likes to make friends. He happens to go out on business, and only his wife is at home. The family is poor and can't afford good things to entertain distinguished guests. Please forgive me.

Ding Qianxi asked, "What does the master do?"

The teenager said, "The family has no assets to make a living by opening a casino."

The next day, the rain was still falling. The teenager took forage to feed the horse. He saw that the length was uneven, some were dry and some were wet. Ding Qianxi asked, "What's going on?"

The teenager said, "To be honest, my family is so poor that I can't even afford to feed horses. These forage were pulled down from the hut by my wife."

Ding Qianxi was greatly moved. He hurriedly took out the gold and silver and gave it to the teenager. The teenager did not take it. He said, "The wife ordered: The prince is a guest. We should treat you. We can't receive remuneration, otherwise the master will be unhappy when he comes back."

Ding Qianxi was even more moved when he heard this. He sincerely praised and said, "Your master and his wife are very elegant, and I admire you. I'm Dingqianxi of the cities. When the master returns, tell me to ask him to go to the humble house when he is free. After saying that, I said goodbye and left.

A few years later, there was a famine in the sky, and the Yang family could not live in poverty. His wife persuaded her husband: "In the past, Ding Qianxi once said: If there is any difficulty, you can go to him. It's the right time now."

Yang nodded and said, "Yes, this is the only hope now." So he went to Dingfu alone and reported his name. Ding Qianxi was surprised and surprised when he heard that his old friend had come to visit. He didn't care about changing his clothes. He directly stepped on his slippers to greet him. He saw Yang's rags and shoes, and his toes were outside. He hurriedly invited him to a banquet in the warm hall. The etiquette room was very grand.

The next day, Ding Qianxi bought clothes, hats, shoes and socks for Yang, and dressed up inside and outside. Yang was warm in his heart, but he couldn't help but worry when he remembered that his wife had cut off food at home. After staying for a few days, Ding Qianxi treated him with good wine and meat every day, but he didn't mention the food and rice, and he didn't mean to send the guests. Yang was anxious and said, "I think about it over and over again, and I can't hide it anymore. When my brother came, the rice in the family was less than a liter. I was a big fish and meat here, and I lived a happy life, but how did my wife live?

Ding Qianxi smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. I have already arranged it. Please rest assured to stay for a few more days, and you will have your own gift when you leave. While talking, a large group of gamblers came to visit. Ding Qianxi gathered a crowd to gamble and let Yang make a profit from the winner. He harvested a hundred gold overnight. Then he politely sent him back to his hometown.

When Yang returned home, the whole family's clothes and clothes were all new. There was another maid beside his wife. She hurriedly asked the reason. The wife said, "Since the father-in-law left, the next day, Mr. Ding sent someone to drive a carriage to bring a lot of food and cloth, which was piled up a house. This maid was also given by Mr. Ding."

Yang is very grateful to hear this. Since then, the family has lived a healthy life and no longer re-empl in gambling.
