How to solve problems when practicing the Tao

Chapter 106 The Butterfly
Poetry:

The Qing Emperor's love is full of love and green, and the moment is anxious and the moment is sparse.

The sound of rain nourishes the heart of spring, reading old books by the railing.

In the Thai building, there was the sound of a scholar reading aloud, but the dragon head of the Confucian school looked out of the window with a trace of concentration.

Feng Junyi, the dragon head of the Confucian school, knocked on the folding fan, looked at the dark clouds outside the window, and it looked like it was going to rain, but there was a trace of doubt in her heart, "It is said that Boy Hou should have arrived long ago, why did he disappear? ’, that’s Ji, he should be fine. Leave him alone, he must be attracted by the plight and want to travel.”

On the other side, seeing the puzzled eyes of the two, the little scholar smiled wryly, blaming himself for not making it clear.So he introduced himself: "My name is Hou Mubai, and I have been here for more than a month. I originally came to visit a Confucian and Taoist elder, but when I first came to the poor place, I met a pair of poor beggar mother and son on the side of the road. The money I had with me was given to them to make ends meet. gone."

"That's kind." Zhao Shiming Jing couldn't help but admire Hou Mubai's kindness.

"How pitiful is the mother and child?" Qin Xiaoying asked.

"The mother and son said that they hadn't eaten for three days. I think they are pitiful and need the money more than the elder. So I gave them all." Hou Mubai said.

Hearing this, the donkey that Hou Mubai was riding rolled its eyes and hummed twice, as if it was an idiotic move.

"Are you trying to harm them or save them?" Qin Xiaoying asked back.

"Of course it's rescue." Hou Mubai said.

"But they are beggars. If they suddenly got so much money, wouldn't the people around them be jealous and grab it?" Qin Xiaoying asked.

"They are poor people, wouldn't others sympathize with them?" The little scholar shook his head.

"In the past five years, there have been so many unfortunate people who have been displaced. Except for you giving money to one of the mother and child, what about the other unfortunate people? They will think why they are the only ones who have it, but we don't? You think this kind of jealousy will make those people Have peace of mind for the mother and child? What's more, they are already beggars, not to mention those unfortunate people, even the officials who suddenly saw the beggars suddenly have so much money, wouldn't they become suspicious, or take their money away under the pretext of robbing them? ? It's not uncommon to kill people for money, let alone a pair of humble beggar mother and son?" Qin Xiaoying said.

After listening to Qin Xiaoying's words, Hou Mubai was in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that his unintentional kindness would turn into a harmful act, which made him unable to accept it at once.

"According to you, I should go get the money back now?" Hou Mubai said.

"Dong Qi is so big, you have donated money for more than a month, where did you go to find this mother and son? You should continue to talk about what happened later." Qin Xiaoying was also quite speechless. My brain is a little lacking.The donkey grunted twice again, as if to say that the hero sees the same thing.

Hou Mubai had no choice but to continue talking. "I gave all my money to the mother and son. I thought I could find the elder as soon as possible, but I suddenly lost my way and didn't know where I was. When I came to a garden, I was tired and hungry. A hare eats it. Just as I was thinking about it, I happened to see a white rabbit running past my eyes."

"So you caught it and ate it?" Qin Xiaoying was obviously also a foodie, so he asked.

Hou Mubai swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and said: "The white rabbit is fat and white, the meat must be good, but I didn't eat it well, just when I caught it and wanted to kill it, I heard a cry, 'Quick! Stop!', when I looked back, it was a beautiful girl who ran towards me angrily, frowning at me, "Why do you want to kill my rabbit?". I said, "Because I'm hungry, but I don't know it's your rabbit, Mo No wonder', she sneered, and said, "Seeing that you are so big, you have some strength, but you can't even support yourself?" What kind of way to make money." She saw that I was honest, so she took some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from the hand basket and gave me to eat, and said, "Looking at how you look like a scholar, you can write a few pictures. Go sell them on the East Street. It’s easy to think about a few pictures, write a few letters to others, and earn a little money.” So I chanted, “I’m not idle in the depths of the mountains, and the red branches and rain wash away the dust. You look at the plum blossoms and I look at you, the spring breeze You are all the ones you like", she said, "I didn't expect you to know poetry." I said naturally, so I talked to her from poems to words, and then to songs, and it was getting dark before I knew it. After chatting with her for a while, she Before I left, I gave me a few pieces of silver to help me start my business. I was reluctant to ask: "I haven't asked the girl's name? How can I return the money to you?" She smiled lightly: "Hu Xiaodie, there is someone on the East Street. The tallest building, I’ll be there.” After she left, I went to look for the building according to what she said, but it was the word “Huaxiangyuandi”. Several girls greeted me at the door, so I asked "Is Hu Xiaodie here?" They laughed, "It's here, but it's not easy to see her, why don't you meet our other sisters too?" I asked her, but what do you need? They laughed again, "But they don't need anything else. , if she is willing, a few taels of gold is also available, if she is not willing, it may be useless to move the gold and silver mountains.' I think she is naturally willing to see me, so I went to sell calligraphy opposite , In the first few days, the same calligraphy sellers came to chase me away, and I said, "If others want to buy their calligraphy, they can buy their calligraphy. Don't you think your calligraphy is inferior to mine?", so they just let it go. I don't know. What's the matter, since I opened that calligraphy stall, there have been many people who have come to buy my calligraphy, but there are not one or two of them in front of the stall."

"Oh? I think it's a little girl's house." Qin Xiaoying saw that Hou Mubai's stinky skin was so good-looking, so he knew that this was probably the case.

Hou Mubai nodded, and said: "There are also a few men... Later, many people came to buy my calligraphy, and they all wanted to beat me, but they were really weak. They couldn't push me, but they fell down one after another. People around They laughed at them one after another, and they changed places to set up stalls themselves."

Qin Xiaoying and Zhao Shiming looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

This kid is unique in that he picks up girls and goes to brothels.

No wonder the old bustard was snobbish, they had all heard of Hu Xiaodie's name, it was said that she was beautiful, and how many sons and daughters went bankrupt just to catch a glimpse of her.

"Monk, I heard something. Isn't there a street near Huaxiangyuan? Many dignitaries went there to meet Hu Xiaodie, and they couldn't do anything for a while, which made them anxious. So the surroundings Those little butterflies, Sai Die, and Concubine Hu Die came out all at once, and they all got a lot of money from Hu Xiaodie's influence. Therefore, there are special servants near Huaxiangyuan who are watching Hu Xiaodie's dressing today , They will wear whatever Hu Xiaodie wears today. It can be said that Hu Xiaodie feeds a whole street by himself." Qin Xiaoying laughed out loud.

Zhaoshi Mingjing blocked his ears angrily: "If you don't listen, don't listen, you bastard chant the scriptures."

On the contrary, Hou Mubai somewhat agreed. "Miss Hu benefits all living beings. Although there is only one street, she is very kind."
