The intersection of the car
In the 5th year of Yongzheng (1727), Chen Funan, a native of Haichang County, Zhejiang Province, and Shen Jiaoyuan, a native of Renhe County, went to Beijing to participate in the examination together, and the two rode in a carriage together.
After walking for a few days, they noticed a strange thing: every day a teenager wearing a bucket hat followed the car. They got out of the car and stopped the teenager and asked him what he wanted to do with him.
The teenager said that his surname was Fang, a native of Tongcheng, Anhui, and he wanted to go to Heilongjiang outside the country to visit his father, but he did not have so much money on his body, only on foot.
People of that era were very particular about filial piety. Chen Funan and Shen Jiaoyuan were both touched by the filial piety of the teenager and took the initiative to invite the teenager to get on the car and walk together. But the body is small, and it can't sit 3 people.
Everyone agreed that each person would take turns walking 30 miles and driving 60 miles per day. After arriving in the capital, the teenager and the two said goodbye.
More than 20 years have passed, Chen Funan has become the inspector of Yunnan, Shen Jiaoyuan has also become an envoy to Shandong, and both of them have entered Beijing because of the incident.
Entering the territory of Zhili, an official of the Governor of Zhili came to greet the two men. When they arrived at the Governor's Gate, the two knew that Fang Guancheng, a teenager who had been riding together, was now directly subordinate to the Governor.
Fang Guancheng met Chen Funan and Shen Jiaoyuan and was extremely affectionate. Fang Guancheng thanked the two for their friendship with the car, set up a banquet, and everyone drank for 10 days before saying goodbye.
Butcher's Grace
Fang Guancheng's family was poor, and that year he went to Beijing to catch the exam, and when he reached the halfway point, the money ran out. It was winter, and I was not covered.
One day, he came to an alley with many butcher shops. He saw an old butcher who, every time he sold meat, he would run to the shop opposite and ask someone to help him keep the account.
The old butcher was running around and was tired; the man who helped him keep the account was annoying.
Fang Guancheng looked into his eyes and smiled. The old butcher narrowed his eyes and asked him, What are you laughing at?
Fang Guancheng hurriedly surrendered his hand and said, I don't dare to laugh at you, but it is too hard to see you running around. I know a few words, and if you don't want to, I can help you keep the account.
The old butcher was very happy, borrowed the paper and pen, he cut the meat and weighed the meat, the mouth reported the number, Fang Guancheng worked hard to write a book, the account remembered clearly, not bad at all.

In the evening, the old butcher put the rest of the meat on his back, and the other party said, I know you haven't eaten yet, come to my house to eat.
When he arrived at home, the old butcher told his wife to hurry up and cook, and asked his eighteen- or nineteen-year-old daughter to warm wine and warmly entertain Fang Guancheng. During the conversation, Fang Guancheng learned that the old butcher's surname was Hu.
Hu Laohan said to Guan Cheng, he has no son, now it is almost the New Year, the business is particularly busy, if you are willing to stay and help me, after the New Year and then leave, I must reward you.
Fang Guancheng agreed. Since then, Fang Guancheng has gone to help Hu Laohan keep accounts every day, and Hu Laohan has been drinking and treating him every day. On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Hu Laohan prepared a new dress for him.
Fang Guancheng was very touched and went to thank Old Man Hu. Hu Laohan said, You are going to become a high official in the future, and this is not a big thing.
After the Lantern Festival, Fang Guan accepted his resignation. Hu Laohan gave him 4,000 copper coins and sent him to the river. Fang Guancheng knelt down to give thanks, and Hu Laohan also knelt down to return the salute.

Many years later, Fang Guancheng became a directly subordinate envoy and sent someone to bring 1,000 taels of silver to find Hu Laohan Xie'en.
Soon, the people who were sent came back and said that Mr. and Mrs. Hu Laohan had been dead for a long time, and his daughter did not know where she had married.
Every time Fang Guancheng later told people about this matter, he burst into tears, and the people who listened to his story were also moved.
Fortune teller
Fang Guancheng bid farewell to Hu Laohan, and when he passed through Hangzhou, a fortune teller on the side of the road saw him coming, immediately got up and said, "The noble man is coming." ”
Fang Guancheng had no interest in fortune telling, and said somewhat angrily, I don't count fate, you must not fool me.
The fortune teller pulled him to a temple and said, "You, you're going to be the governor in the future." You hurry to the capital, the opportunity will come, you don't miss it.
Fang Guancheng's inkblot.
The fortune teller went home and gave 20 taels of silver to Fang Guancheng, took out a piece of paper, and wrote down a person's name.
The fortune teller especially confessed that in the future, the general soldier with this name will be beheaded because of the delay of the military plane, and you will save him no matter what, which should be a reward for me.
Fang Guancheng arrived in the capital, and sure enough, he entered the career by chance. In less than 10 years, he served as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.
During his term of office, a general soldier with the same name as the fortune teller was convicted of missing a military plane.
Fang Guancheng thought of the heavy trust of the fortune teller at that time, and tried his best to excuse the general soldiers.
After this incident, Fang Guancheng called the chief soldier and asked him about his origins. It turned out that this general soldier was the son of the fortune teller at that time.
