Folktale： The scholar took a fancy to the brothel woman, but her friend took it away. My friend： I am helping you.

　　In ancient times, there was a scholar named Fang Yu. He was handsome and handsome, and he was learned. By rights, he had already become a family. But he is arrogant and bent on marrying a stunning woman. In addition, his family is poor, and he is still alone when he is over twenty.

　　Fang Yu has a good friend named Bao Zhong. Seeing that Fang Yu is sad about his marriage all day, he suggested that he go to Suzhou and Hangzhou for a walk.

　　Suzhou and Hangzhou have beautiful scenery, and beautiful women have been born since ancient times. Fang Yu was delighted to hear this and planned to leave in a few days after thank humbly. Bao Zhong took out five taels of silver as a gift for Fang Yu's trip. Fang Yu hesitated and then picked it up.

　　The reason why Bao Zhong gave money as a gift is because he knows how to be grateful.

　　When he was young, there was a drought one year, and the crops in the field failed to harvest. Fang Laohan and his wife were kind and gave them two pounds of millet from Bao's family. With these two Jin of millet, the Bao family survived.

　　Bao laohan told his son before he died, "son, it is said that the kindness of dripping water should be rewarded by the spring. The Fang family has saved our lives, so you must remember."

　　Bao Zhong nodded and agreed, "Dad, don't worry, the child will repay you."

　　Later, Bao Zhong made a fortune by doing business, and often helped Fang Jia from time to time. Fang Laohan and his wife were proud and naturally refused to accept it, so he gave Fang Yu the money.

　　At first, Fang Yu refused to take it. Later, the days became more and more difficult. He had to accept the reality and accept the money. At the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart that he must gain fame and live a life of food and clothing.

　　Saying Fang Yu took five taels of silver from Bao Zhong and set off soon.

　　He first came to Hangzhou and looked at the well-dressed rich boys and girls in the street. He was envious.

　　After a few days in Hangzhou, he became more and more interested in going to Suzhou. When he was about to leave, he heard a woman's sweet voice coming from the room next to the inn.

　　As it happens, Fang Yu just walked out and met the woman with a sweet voice. When she saw the woman at first sight, Fang Yu's eyes froze.

　　The woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a small cherry mouth, eyebrows and almond eyes, a thin waist and a beautiful curve. When Fang Yu looked at the woman, the woman blushed and hurriedly bowed her head and strode away.

　　When the woman walked away, Fang Yucai recovered. He found the innkeeper and said that he would not check out for the time being.

　　In order to wait for the woman to return, Fang Yu deliberately left the door unlocked and stared at her eyes for fear of missing it.

　　After an hour, Fang Yu was a little sleepy. Suddenly, he heard a burst of footsteps and was refreshed. When he tidied up his clothes and prepared to strike up a conversation with a woman, he found a stunning woman walking behind a burly man.

　　The man gave Fang Yu a bad look. Fang Yu was afraid and hurriedly retracted the room, but he couldn't let go of the stunning woman in his heart.

　　In those days, the woman would go out with the burly man every morning and didn't come back until the evening. Fang Yu didn't have a chance to talk to the woman at all, but he was unwilling to wait. He had a brainwave and soon had an idea in his heart.

　　The next day, Fang Yu found a clever beggar and gave him some broken money. The beggar was greedy and naturally promised.

　　At noon, the little beggar came back.

　　"Fang Gongzi, I found out clearly. The woman's name is Cui Yingying, and she is the number one in Mingyue Building. The man is Zhao Yin, the youngest son of the Zhao family. He usually likes to find flowers and ask for willows. He spent a lot of money on Cui Yingying, because he was afraid of his wife at home, so he took Miss Cui to the store."

　　The little beggar was very clever and saw what Fang Yu was thinking at a glance. He persuaded him, "Fang Gongzi, that Zhao Gongzi is rich and powerful, so we can't afford to offend ..."

　　Before the little beggar could finish, Fang Yu waved his hand and told him to go down first. For a moment, he was puzzled.

　　In fact, Fang Yuyou knows himself. Zhao Gongzi can't afford to offend him, but he doesn't want to give up the opportunity to meet Miss Cui. After some hesitation, he decides to wait.

　　Soon, half a month passed, and Zhao Gongzi lost her freshness to Miss Cui and let her return to Mingyue Building.

　　When the opportunity came, Fang Yu was overjoyed. At night, he couldn't wait to knock on Miss Cui's door. Who knows, Zhao Gongzi didn't leave and stared at him with a sneer.

　　Half a month ago, Zhao Gongzi began to pay attention to Fang Yu. He is narrow-minded, especially when Fang Yu is more handsome than himself, but he hates his teeth itch, so he always wants to take revenge. Who knows Fang Yu doesn't go out all day?

　　He had a plan and lied that he would let Miss Cui go back to Mingyue Building to lure Fang Yu to the bait.

　　"Good thief, you dare to steal in the middle of the night, and see how Zhao cleans you up." Zhao Gongzi shouted.

　　Fang Yu's mouth is hard to argue. He did sneak into Zhao Gongzi's room. Before Fang Yu explained, Zhao Gongzi told his men to beat Fang Yu severely. Finally, Miss Cui interceded. Zhao Gongzi saw that Fang Yu was already a cripple, so he left with Miss Cui very satisfied.

　　Fortunately, the store was kind and invited a doctor, otherwise Fang Yu would die.

　　It is said that after Miss Cui left, she was preoccupied with Fang Yu. Although she has fallen into the world of mortals, she has always wanted to get rid of her misery, so she is bent on finding the right husband.

　　When I saw Miss Cui and Fang Yu at first sight, I moved my heart to him, and even secretly decided that Fang Gongzi would be her support for the rest of her life.

　　These days, she is also secretly observing the handsome Fang Yu, but because of Zhao Gongzi, she chose to avoid it.

　　Now that Zhao Gongzi has left, she asked the procuress for half a day off and sent Fang Yu money to tell him to rest at ease.

　　Fang Yu, who was already desperate, saw Miss Cui take the initiative to see herself, and also hinted to him that her heart was fully committed, which made Fang Yu ecstatic, and she immediately recovered more than half.

　　"Cui Gongzi, you are Fang's savior. In this life, Fang is not married to Miss Cui." Fang Yu held Miss Cui's hand tightly and said.

　　Miss Cui is blushing and her face is full of happiness.

　　During that time, Miss Cui went to visit Fang Yu as soon as she was free, and their feelings quickly warmed up. Fang Yu thought that it would cost a lot of money to redeem Miss Cui, thinking that he only had to earn fame and fortune, and he didn't worry about having no money. After some meditation, he told his friend Bao Zhong about it.

　　Bao Zhong heard immediately, said the silver thing rest assured, he will think of some way to.

　　Half a month later, Fang Yu's injury was almost better, and Miss Cui took him to the procuress.

　　The procuress is greedy for money. She almost fainted when she learned that a poor boy had taken advantage of the top spot and would elope with him. After she has recovered, the procuress will ask for five hundred and twenty pieces of silver as soon as she opens her mouth, otherwise she will not be able to take anyone away.

　　When Fang Yu heard five hundred and twenty pieces of silver, she immediately became scared silly.

　　Miss Cui also quickly pleaded and told the procuress to let them go. On hearing this, the procuress knew that Miss Cui was hopeless, and the hatred of the other jade was deeper.

　　At night, the procuress found a few thugs and told them to go on, saying that as long as no one was killed, Fang Yu's little white face must be destroyed. At the same time, she secretly looked for buyers, hoping that some buyers could redeem Miss Cui as soon as possible.

　　That night, Fang Yu was besieged by several masked men, and he didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy. Fortunately, Bao Zhong appeared in time, and Fang Yucai dodged a bullet.

　　Although her life is not serious, there are several wounds on her face, which makes Fang Yu heartbroken and cries: "If Miss Cui sees Fang, she will definitely be disgusted."

　　Bao Zhong comforted: "Brother Fang, Miss Cui values your kindness, not adore you's appearance, so you don't have to be sad, you must cheer up."

　　Fang Yu listened to the strength and shook her head, and her heart was desperate. During that time, he deliberately avoided Miss Cui and drank all day.

　　When Bao Zhong saw that persuasion failed, he had to sigh again and again. After some meditation, his eyes flashed with decision.

　　That night, Bao Zhong found the procuress and offered to pay for Miss Cui.

　　The procuress saw that the bearer was well dressed and should be rich, so she asked for 400 taels of silver.

　　Bao Zhong, who knows Miss Cui well, said with a smile, "Your love has been taken care of, and your old price is a bit outrageous."

　　The procuress was a little surprised when she heard this. Unexpectedly, the people in front of her knew about Miss Cui and Fang Yu. She had to bite her teeth and say, "300 taels of silver is indispensable, and it is not easy for an old woman to raise this lad."

　　Bao Zhong, a businessman, naturally knew what the procuress was thinking. He said, "One hundred and twenty pieces of silver, not more."

　　After that, Bao Zhong added, "If Miss Cui is abducted and ran away, you can't catch a copper coin."

　　Hearing this, the procuress felt reasonable. Seeing that Bao Zhong refused to let go, she had to nod and ask the servant to take out the deed of redemption.

　　In this way, Bao Zhong spent one hundred and twenty pieces of silver to buy Miss Cui.

　　Fang Yu, who was still drunk, went on the rampage when she learned that her sweetheart had been beaten to the top by her friends, and kept scolding Bao Zhong livestock.

　　The next day, the two of them came to say goodbye to Fang Yu arm in arm, and Fang Yu couldn't wait to slap them immediately.

　　"Brother Fang, you should take care of yourself, and Bao will not accompany you." Bao Zhong laughingly said.

　　"You ..." Fang Yu fainted with anger. When they woke up, they had already left Hangzhou.

　　Fang Yu's heart ached at the thought of her beloved being taken away by her best friend. During this time, he has been drunk, his eyes are bloodshot, his face is scarred, his hair is messy, and his appearance is terrible. Children will cry with fear.

　　He didn't have the money to go back. He finally returned to his hometown by begging all the way.

　　At home, Fang Yu learned that Bao Zhong and his wife, Cui Shi, were very loving. He was angry and helpless. Bao Zhong had more money than he did, and he was the first to redeem Cui Shi.

　　Fang Yu clenched her fist and vowed to gain fame.

　　Since then, he has locked himself in his study every day and studied hard day and night.

　　Fang Yu's qualification is not bad, but what he lacks is a vicious spirit. One year later, he successfully passed the juren.

　　Then, Fang Yu began to prepare for the exam.

　　At this time, Bao Zhong client brought him the first-class gold medicine and silver.

　　In the society at that time, to gain fame, you need not only knowledge, but also good looks.

　　The Tang Dynasty's "New Tang Book" and "Election Records" have such a record:

　　"there are four ways to choose people: one day, the body is rich and magnificent; Two days to speak, four days to judge, excellent arts and sciences. "

　　It means that the selected talents must first be tall, upright and handsome; Followed by strong language skills and eloquence; Then calligraphy should be neat and beautiful; Finally, it is the arts and talents of the article.

　　Fang Yu is grateful to the person who sent Jin Chuang medicine. The medicine was applied to the face for half a month, although it could not completely remove the scar, but it also eliminated most of the scar on the face.

　　In the spring of the following year, Fang Yu hurried to Beijing to attend the examination.

　　He got excellent grades and successfully passed Gong Shi. Then, on the palace examination, he answered the questions of the emperor, and though he failed to make the first place, he was also given a Jinshi background.

　　Fang Yu was so excited that she burst into tears when she thought that she had studied hard for many years and finally got a thick newspaper.

　　When he paid photogenic return to his hometown, his good friend Bao Zhong was the first to meet him.

　　Fang Yu was so angry when he saw Bao Zhong that he didn't get angry because of his face. He just told Bao Zhong to get out of here.

　　Bao Zhong had a smile on his face. "Brother Fang, Brother Bao has come to give you a wedding."

　　Say that finish, Cui Shi slowly coming towards him.

　　Fang Yu saw the beautiful Cui Shi, sighing in her heart.

　　Cui Shi said: "Fang Gongzi, you misunderstood Bao Gongzi. After he married me, he was placed in another yard. He and his wife both treated me as a brother-in-law and we were not husband and wife. And your medicine and travel expenses for treating scars are all secretly sent by Bao Gongzi ... "

　　"Is this serious?" Fang Yu naturally does not believe it.

　　At this time, the old man Fang came over and shouted, "Son, what Miss Cui said is true."

　　Fang Yu hurriedly dismounted and knelt down to Bao Zhong, asking him to forgive.

　　Bao Zhong smiled: "Brother Fang is polite. In fact, Bao is helping you. I hope Brother Fang will not blame Bao for being reckless."

　　"Brother Bao's words are heavy." Fang Yu looked ashamed.

　　Later, Fang Yu married Cui Shi, and he and Bao Zhong became best friends.

　　The two are as close as brothers, and the two families have been coming and going for generations, and they are as close as a family.
