Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"We... look at our dirty and torn clothes, maybe even the gate won't let us in?"

"No," the man said, "as long as the heart is kind, what's the problem with dirty clothes? Mr. Li is the most benevolent person in our Wabu. You can go to the wedding with peace of mind, and nothing will happen."

"It would be great if that's the case." Defang smiled, "Brother, I don't know how to get to Li's residence?"

"The three of you go north along the Qingshi Road, pass the twelfth house, then go east to the seven house, and you can see it when you go north."

"Thank you, little brother." De Fang cupped his hands, and the three of them followed the man's instructions and came to the door of the Li Mansion where the wedding was held. It was already past time, and the Li Manor had already prepared a banquet. It was very lively, Defang nodded at Shan En and Baili, the two of them cupped their hands, and ran to the gate of Li's house and started fighting, shouting as they fought, the guests were startled, no matter how much they persuaded them, they just kept fighting When the servant of the Li Mansion saw this posture, he hurried to the hall and told his master, "Master! Master!"

Master Li steadied his servant and asked, "Why are you in such a panic?"

"Master, there are two beggars fighting outside the door for some reason. No matter how much you try to persuade them, the door is blocked."

"Take me there quickly."

The servant brought Mr. Li to the gate, and Shan En and Baili were in a mess. Seeing Mr. Li going out, Defang coughed a few times. The two understood, and they wrestled together and fell in front of Mr. Li. Mr. Li stood still. He separated the two of them in the middle, bent over and held their arms one by one and said, "Two two, if you have something to say, talk about it, why do you want to fight?"

Shan En pointed at Baili and shouted, "He took my copper coins!"

"Nonsense! The copper coin is obviously mine!"

As they said they were about to fight again, Master Li and his servant hurriedly separated the two of them, "Don't fight, don't fight, it's not worth getting hurt for the copper money."

"Give me the money!" Sean held out his hand

Baili clutched his clothes, "No! The money is mine!"

Only then did Defang come out, "Okay! How decent is it to fight in front of someone's house!"

Only then did Shan En and Baili stop, bowing and saying, "Baye."

"Baye?" Master Li looked at Defang who was wearing torn and dirty clothes, "May I ask who you are?"

De Fang cupped his hands, "Master, I'm really sorry, the two of them used to be servants of my family."

"Master?" Master Li looked at Shan En's Baili again, "Then why are you so down and out?"

"To tell you the truth, I am the son of a wealthy family. My surname is Zhao Mingxian. I have three older brothers and four older sisters. I am the eighth eldest in my family. Later, my family fell into ruin, my property and fields were gone, my money was gone, my parents died, and my elder brother died of illness. , my sister is married, and now I am down and out, and the two servants are loyal. They can't bear my suffering, and they are willing to follow me to wander around. They usually ask for money and food, but let me eat first. Today, I came to Wabu. I heard that the master's family is happy. All the guests can eat and drink, so they rushed here."

"So that's how it is." Master Li cupped his hands, "Baye Zhao, Mr. Li is being polite."

"Don't dare dare not," Defang returned the salute, "I am a poor and desolate person, how dare I accept the gift from Master Li."

"Ba Ye, everyone in the world should treat each other with courtesy, whether it's high officials and wealthy households, or refugees and beggars, but the etiquette remains the same, but the virtues remain the same."

Defang handed it over, "Master Li said yes, I have been educated."

"Ba Ye, since you and the two servants came to have a wedding banquet, why did the two of them fight?"

"Although the three of us came to drink wedding wine, we can't just eat and drink for free, so we planned to each make a copper coin to make a red envelope, as a token of appreciation, but when the two of them took out the copper coin, they dropped it on the ground. I don't know where the copper coins were rolled, but only one was found, and the two of them fought over the copper coins."
