Zheng Banqiao was poor in his early years, living in Baota Bay, Xinghua Dongmen, and relying on teaching to make a living. After a year of famine, the people did not have a good life, and no one sent their children to study. Zheng was cornered, borrowing usurious loans to survive, and the loan repayment contract stipulated that the principal and interest of the Dragon Boat Festival would be paid off. The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, Zheng has no income, helpless, had to go out to hide debts.
Zheng Banqiao went to Jiaoshan Dinghui Temple to borrow it from the mouth of the summer vacation. Day after day, I didn't see my family for a long time, I wanted to go home, and I was afraid of meeting a creditor, so I didn't dare to rush down the mountain.
Another morning, the rain passed and the sky was clear, and the mountains were pleasant. Ma Yuezhen, who lived nearby and was known for his book collection and good friends, took a servant to climb the mountain and met Zheng Banqiao, who was wandering around. Ma Yuezhen groaned as he walked, looking for a good sentence. This scene was discovered by Zheng Banqiao and followed. Listening to Ma Yuezhen's repeated deliberations, he only got one sentence: "The mountain light is blowing through the night rain," when there was no end to the pain, Zheng Banqiao couldn't help but bow forward and give a salute: "Brother Ren got this good sentence, but he has already eavesdropped on it!" Seeing that he was polite, well-behaved, and had an extraordinary temperament, Ma Yuezhen returned the courtesy: "Today, my poetry is really not smooth, only this sentence, can Brother Ren tell me about it?"
Zheng said: "Jiang Shui wants to turn back to the late tide, I don't know what Brother Ren's intentions are?"
"Elegant and natural, ten times better than me." Ma Yuezhen, who has always been hospitable, was very happy and invited Zheng to move to his residence. The two played chess and sang poetry and tea, and got along day and night, which was extremely harmonious.
Over time, Zheng cherished his heart, and it was inevitable that he would be worried. Ma Qing asked, "Brother Ren is so elegant, Erwu hates each other late, and gets along very happily, why do you sometimes raise your eyebrows?"
Zheng recognized that he was trustworthy, so he told him in detail, and said: "I don't hide it, I came to avoid debts, so I am not as cheerful as you, I have fun, and I don't know how to live at home now, it is inevitable that I will be in a state of distress!"
Ma Yuezhen nodded, and did not show him.
After a few more days, Zheng wanted to go home to visit, and Ma set up a feast for him. During the banquet, Ma Frequent raised a toast, but he had no intention of borrowing money to help him. Zheng was ashamed to open his mouth and said goodbye.
Zheng Banqiao hesitated near the door of his home, and there were several plasterers painting the walls in the distance, startled! If you don't have any money left in your home, will you paint the walls? Could it be that this house has been mortgaged? Without much thought, he hurriedly let go of his steps and ran towards home. At the beginning, he saw his wife without worry, and he was relieved that he said: "My husband has been working hard outside for many days!" Arrange a meal for drinks and meals on one side.
Zheng was inexplicable, and his heart became more and more uneasy, and he quietly asked his wife: "How is the Dragon Boat Festival?" The wife smiled again: "A few days ago, Mengjun sent his family two hundred gold, and he had paid off the debt interest, and the debt collectors on the Dragon Boat Day were all kind and pleasant, and they repeatedly apologized and returned." At present, there is still a sum of money left, and I want to repair the house. In this way, the rainy season is not afraid of leaking rain again. ”
Zheng listened to it and sighed with emotion: "Ma Yue zhen is a good guest, and it is indeed worth it!"
In this year, Zheng specially traveled to Yangzhou to visit Ma Yuezhen, so he has been a guest of Ma Yuezhen's seat.
