From time to time, some clouds float by in the sky, bringing some shade.

The boat occasionally stopped at the dock for a while along the way, with some people going up and down. On the 11th, Ren Wei and Pei Ziyun became familiar with each other.

Pei Ziyun's cabin is large and often picks up some cold dishes, a pot of wine, and a plate of peanuts. The two of them sat together and talked, wrote poems and lyrics, or said some ideas.

A pot of wine was placed on a small coal stove and warmed it. The fragrance of wine spread. Pei Ziyun took a sip and smiled: "I am still careful when I am alone. This sutra means that I should be careful when I am alone."

"The virtuous said: "The Doctrine of the Mean" is self-consistent, and the "The Great" is sincere, so we should work hard to get it right and not let it go."

"These words seem subtle and righteous, but in fact, they are very simple. People cannot be unfaithful. Those who are unfaithful will die and die, and those who are unfilial will be destroyed. Those who are unfilial will be disgraced. Those who are unfaithful will be disgraced. Those who are unfaithful will always have no good end."

"So under these social pressures, people cannot be said to be loyal, filial, righteous, and kind. At least they must be small loyal, filial, small righteous and small righteous, so that they can survive."

"But are you really willing to do these things? No one sees them when you are alone. Do you still think so?" Pei Ziyun smiled. When he was in the company in his previous life, who dared to shout at his boss that I was just pissing off the inside, shout at his colleague that I was just cheating on friends, and shout at his girlfriend that I was ruthless and unrighteous?

But on the Internet, no one knows whether it is a dog or a cat, his true nature is naturally revealed: "I am just a scumbag, I am just a traitor and cheating on my friends without mercy. Can you bite me?"

This is the meaning of being cautious and solitary in modern times. He said with great emotion: "The so-called being cautious and solitary means that when you are not pressured to force you, you will still be loyal, filial, righteous and kind?"

"If you do this, it will be a mean."

Ren Wei was stunned when he heard this. Ren Wei was increasingly appreciating Pei Ziyun these days, and felt that it was very extraordinary. Many of his views coincided with his own opinions. But now, he realized that at least in his intention, Pei Ziyun was better than him. He threw away his chopsticks and sighed: "This statement is close to a sage. Brother Pei's sutras are far above me. I can't win. Is it really surprising that you are not."

Pei Ziyun did not answer, stood up and pushed the window. When it was pushed open, a wind blew into the room. He looked at the water from afar, and then said, "I read Brother Ren's articles and have a little opinion. I said, Brother Ren, please listen?"

After hearing this, Ren Wei raised his glass: "Brother Pei doesn't have to worry about me, please say it."

"In addition to being practical in history, there are also sutras and treatises. Although some things are useless to read, they are all promoted. Brother Ren is quite talented, but he is a little bit unrestrained. If he can break some of the crux, he will be able to pass the imperial examination."

Listening to this, Ren Wei was so bright that he stared at Pei Ziyun and said, "Brother Pei praised me. Brother Pei saw it more thoroughly than me. He was completely capable of being an juren. Why don't you take the exam and be willing to be a scholar?"

Pei Ziyun poured a glass of wine and said for a long time: "Being an official is hardworking and working hard for official duties. Maybe one mistake will lead to a heretic, and there will be no end. It is more in line with my nature to be free and free."

After hearing this, Ren Wei picked up a peanut, chewed it, his mouth full of fragrance, but smiled bitterly: "That's the capital that needs to be free and good. Without wealth, why talk about free and easy."

"Life is so unsatisfactory, how can one thing be wrong?" Pei Ziyun picked up a peanut with chopsticks and said in silence.

After the words came, they were silent for a moment, and both of them drank and did not speak.

"The Umatou Ferry has arrived, and the Umatou Ferry has arrived." The boat was shocked and the docked. Pei Ziyun saw Ren Wei getting off the boat and followed him and said, "Brother Ren has arrived in his hometown. We have a great time talking to you. I'll see you off."

"Thank you, Brother Pei." Ren Wei said. The two got off the boat and stepped onto the dock. Ren Wei pointed and said, "My family lives not far away."

There is a street when you go out of the pier, but about one hundred meters, there are not many shops on both sides, but finally there are hotels, rice shops, and cloth shops. After turning to the street entrance, Ren Wei pointed to a house on the riverside not far away and said, "That's it. The boat has been treated by Brother Pei for a long time, so please have a meal at my house."

As he said that, a boy hurried forward and bumped him. Ren Wei felt something was wrong. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the boy, saying, "Song'er, where are you going?"

Hearing familiar words, he raised his head to the boy who had already bowed his head and raised his head to the front, and found that the person in front of him was his father. Tears fell down for a moment, and he hurriedly said, "Father, it's not good, it's not good."

He was speech quickly and suddenly became confused.

When Ren Wei heard the child's anxious voice, he panicked and asked quickly: "Song'er, you are in a hurry, but something happened at home? Don't be anxious, just say it slowly!"

"Father, you are finally back." The young man stepped forward and hugged his father, then burst into tears, and said, "Father, I am about to go out to find my uncle and ask for some help."

"Last time my mother borrowed nine taels of silver for the sake of her elder brother's illness. Who knew that Mr. Qian was so cruel to cheat. Now, a few months later, the principal and interest cost thirty-six taels."

"There is no cash at home. I came to collect debts and said I would take away three acres of land at home. My mother was going to sell her dowry. I wanted to go out to find my uncle to see if I could help."

Hearing this, Ren Wei's face turned pale. Thinking of his identity as a scholar, he gritted his teeth and said, "Song'er, please come back with me."

"Yes, father." The boy had a backbone and the three of them left home.

As soon as I got to the door, I listened to the noise. A large group of people gathered at the door to watch the fun. Some people couldn't find a place and were lying on the wall and looking inside.

Seeing this, Ren Wei's face changed and he strode forward. When the onlookers saw that it was Ren Wei, some of them avoided it while others did not recognize him, and said, "It is natural to pay back the debt, so no wonder."

As we approached, there was a stench, and a lot of feces were poured on the wall door. Several big men were hugging each other, a burly man holding a bench and looking at the mother and son in front of him coldly.

Another boy inside, with a pale face. I don’t know if it was scared or sick, and he kept coughing.

Pei Ziyun looked at a simple woman wearing jewelry and said, "Your gold and silver jewelry is at most five taels, but you are still thirty-one taels away, but you can't pay off the debt. If you can't pay it back, you will have to belong to me, your cow, your house deeds and land deeds."

The lady begged and said, "Mr. Qian, my jewelry is brought by my parents' home. They are all good items, and they must be worth thirty taels. I didn't lie to you. You have to believe me. I will go and change it tomorrow. How about you return it after the replacement? There is no cow, house, or land. I will force us to death."

The burly Mr. Qian snorted coldly: "If it weren't for your family's scholars, I would have come to collect money and drove you out. Now it's a little time to go, what time do you want to delay?"

Pei Ziyun and Ren Wei just came in and heard these words.

Ren Wei walked forward quickly and shouted, "Mr. Qian, you are so powerful."

Mr. Qian was shocked, stood up, looked carefully, and then hummed, "It turns out that the scholar of the Ren family has returned. Your wife has borrowed 38 taels of silver. I'm here to collect the debt."

When the woman saw Ren Wei come back, her eyes lit up: "Husband."

Mr. Qian was a little restrained and sneered: "It is natural to pay back the debt. When it comes to the government, I am also righteous. Ren Xiucai, you are just back and you will pay back the money. There is nothing to do. Do you want to blame us for collecting the fields and cows?"

"This is ten taels of silver. You can take it away. I will pay you back the remaining money later." Ren Wei took out ten taels.

Mr. Qian was stunned and then laughed: "Ten taels can only count interest. If you don't pay it back today, you will have to turn it up again next month."

Ren Wei's face turned red and he asked, "How much profit?"

The man said: "Nine out and eighteen return, and doubled in a month. It is still for the sake of your scholar, that you borrowed this number."

"Qinxiu, what he said is true?" Ren Wei looked at his wife and asked.

When the woman heard her husband's words, her face turned dark: "I was cheated. I was originally only borrowed nine taels, and the interest rate was 2 taels per month. I could pay it back when my husband sent the silver back, but I didn't expect that the interest rate for the silver of two taels per month became twice in a blink of an eye."

Song'er followed and stepped forward: "Father, I know this, my mother was cheated."

"Take the document to show me." Ren Wei was angry when he heard this, and stared at Mr. Qian and said, "Mr. Qian took out a note and went forward to put it. Ren Wei was about to take it, but Mr. Qian sneered and took it back: "Scholar, wait until you pay back the money, and then take it back, otherwise I'm afraid you will tear it."

Mr. Qian received ten taels of silver and was about to leave. Pei Ziyun stepped forward, stretched out his hand and stopped him, saying, "Let's wait."

Mr. Qian was a gangster and wanted to be furious, but when he saw Pei Ziyun, he was suddenly a little upset and swallowed the words he cursed.

Pei Ziyun is a juren, killing countless people, and practicing Taoism. This is not just the so-called temperament. He stared at Mr. Qian and smiled and said, "It turns out that it is just thirty-eight taels of silver. What's this?"

Pei Ziyun turned to Ren Wei: "Brother Ren, you wrote me a timely article last time. I forgot to give you the money for money. You are a little more pedantic and don't urge me if you encounter difficult things."

After saying that, he took two silver notes and handed them over.

When Ren Wei saw that it was fifty taels per piece, totaling one hundred taels. He immediately realized that Pei Ziyun wanted to help him. He was about to say no, but Pei Ziyun pressed his hands and patted him: "Your nephew looks tired. Please pay more attention to your father, otherwise your body will be damaged, but what should you do?"

Hearing this, Ren Wei's face turned red and he couldn't speak immediately. Pei Ziyun said again: "Brother Ren, I have something to do. The boat is not waiting for anyone. I have to leave first. See you later and have another drink."

After saying that, he patted Mr. Qian's shoulder lightly and smiled: "Don't be unreasonable, people are doing things, God is watching, and retribution is right in front of you."

As he said that, he turned around and left.

Ren’s wife, who had originally looked dim, was now shining, and the onlookers were all talking and amazed: “You said, Ren Xiucai is really developed. What time he wrote is worth 100 taels of silver.”

When Pei Ziyun went out, someone jogged and chased after him. When he arrived in front of Pei Ziyun, he bowed deeply: "Thank you, Mr. Jie Yuan, I, Ren Wei, will repay you in the future."

"Oh, do you know it's me?" Pei Ziyun was stunned.

"I didn't know at the beginning, but we have known each other for more than ten days. You are so young, so meticulous, good at poetry and prose, and understand the times. You have made some comments on the tank transportation, customs, and military affairs. You can cross the boat and sing in this world with great talent. I'm afraid that only Duke Jie Yuan is the only one in this generation." Ren Wei said.

"Actually, in terms of talent, I am very ordinary. There are only some adventures. You don't have to send you farewell. Say goodbye. See you again if you are destined to see you again." Pei Ziyun said, and then said, "You are a scholar, and many things are difficult to handle. I have already helped you deal with the gangster just now. This person is as strong as a cow. As long as you encounter alcohol, sex, you will die suddenly, but you are worry-free!"

"Actually, I am relying on my talent to make trouble. But in my life, I am not going to be an official, so I have to live a free and easy life." After saying this, Pei Ziyun did not stop.
