    Fang Jinshi said: "I always feel that a piece of beautiful jade is sold as a stone."

    Shi Quandao: "In life, you should be content when you are content. This horse was actually picked up by He Xiaosi, who was cutting firewood with me. If I were to sell it, let alone not get the ten thousand dollars, I'm afraid it would still be there."  There is trouble, now that I have received so much money for nothing, and the horse has found a good owner, why bother worrying about the loss of the sale?"

    Fang Jinshi thought about it and it made sense. He also understood why Shi Quan asked him to sell it. Just imagine that Shi Quan, a soldier with an ink mark on his face, led such a horse to sell it. It must not be suspicious, let alone  Xijia asked about the origin of the horse, but he was afraid that in the end the horse would probably be collected in vain.

    At this time, the blacksmith behind him had finished beating the woodcutter. Shi Quan went over to inspect it, paid the money, and walked out of the alley with Fang Jinshi.

    Fang Jinshi asked: "Where are we going now?" Shi Quan couldn't help but licked his mouth and said: "Go get my wine. I have missed you for more than two months."

    Fang Jinshi smiled slightly and said, "Is this wine really good?" Shi Quan chuckled and said, "Brothers, you can tell whether it is good or not after you taste it."

    Shi Quan led him back to the street, where there were twists and turns in the city. Fang Jinshi said: "Brother Shi, why did you pick up that horse? I told you, little brother, listen."

    Shi Quan said as he walked: "I went up the mountain to collect firewood a few days ago. He Xiaosi, a farmer at the foot of the mountain who often collects firewood together, saw this horse in the back mountain. He had a disabled leg and could not walk fast, so the horse ran away. I heard  When we got there, we went to the back mountain. We happened to see it, so we pulled it over. We thought it was where a battle was going on, but the war horse paid no attention to it and came here."

    Fang Jinshi said: "This horse is very powerful. Why don't you keep it?" Shi Quan said: "How can the little four family raise this horse with only four walls? Even if they can raise it, there is no guarantee that jealous people will not sue the government."  , if I kept it in the shabby house where I lived, it was discovered and confiscated by the prison chief within a few days, so I had to sell it."

    Fang Jinshi thought the same thing. The two walked into the alley again, and Shi Quan stopped in front of a courtyard. This courtyard was extremely old and should be a place where poor people lived.

    Shi Quan stepped forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, a man in his forties came over and opened the door. Seeing that it was Shi Quan, the man greeted him with a smile and said, "I know you want this peach blossom wine. If you don't come today,  Take it and I'll send it to you." Shi Quan smiled and said, "How dare you help Brother Li? When I hear that Brother Li has returned from his hometown, I wish I could come here with my wings."

    He turned back to the other party and said into the stone: "This is brother Li He. He lives not far from my house." Li He said: "What kind of brother do you dare to call me? He is just a porter driving a cart. Please come in, too."  .¡±

    Fang Jinshi entered the courtyard and saw that although the courtyard was old, it was also warm. Li He's wife Zhang came out to invite them to sit down. After a few polite words, the couple went to the back room and moved out three not too big children.  When Shi Quan saw the wine jar, he stood up with great joy and reached out to take it. He carefully removed the sealing mud of the wine, smelled it first, then exaggeratedly sniffed his nose several times, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, hurry up.  Get some big bowls.¡±

    When Fang Jinshi saw his expression, he couldn't help being amused. Mrs. Zhang went to the kitchen and took out a few bowls. Shi Quan poured four bowls of wine. When Mrs. Zhang saw hers, she declined and Shi Quan said: "Li  Sister-in-law, I have been away from my hometown for several years, and drinking hometown wine is like meeting people from my hometown. Brother Li has traveled thousands of miles to bring hometown wine here. It is really rare, no matter what, I have to go back and drink a bowl."

    Li He and his wife had been away from home for many years, so they felt something in their hearts. Mrs. Zhang picked up the bowl. Li He patted Shi Quan on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about that. Brothers will be able to go home next month. This peach blossom wine, I want to  You can drink as much as you want." Shi Quan raised his head and said, "That's right, it's done." Everyone drank.

    Fang Jinshi saw that the wine was light red, a bit like the red wine of later generations. When he drank it, it had a slightly spicy taste, but the aftertaste was slightly bitter, and it seemed to have a peach blossom petal fragrance. He didn't know how it was made.

    Shi Quan looked at Fang Jinshi and said, "How is it?" Fang Jinshi couldn't say he wasn't used to drinking it, so he praised it, "It tastes good, but it tastes a little bitter." Shi Quan laughed and said, "Brother, it's the first time you drink it. It tastes a little bitter."  , drink it several times before you can feel its mellow taste.¡±

    This wine jar was a bit small. After only pouring these four bowls, it was empty. Just as Shi Quan was about to open the second jar of wine, Li He stopped him and said, "You'd better keep these two jars and take them home to drink slowly."

    Shi Quan thought about it, and the other person Jinshi said: "Brother, I'm just stingy once. Anyway, brother is not used to drinking." At this time, he seemed to be stingy. Fang Jinshi didn't care about the wine. Zhang used a piece of cloth to wipe the wine.  After two jars of wine were packed, Shi Quan said to Li He, "Brother Li, where's the letter?" Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "How can there be any letter? Brother Li is lying to you."

    Li He rolled his eyes at Mrs. Zhang, took out a letter sealed with red lacquer from the back room and handed it to Shi Quan. Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Next time Brother Li comes back."By the time of Bianliang, Brother Shi should have gone back, so Miss Wang no longer needs him to carry the message.  "

    Shi Quan's expression turned a bit awkward, and he smiled and said, "Is she okay?" Li He said, "This letter was sent by Miss Feng Wan, and I didn't see Miss Wang." Shi Quan nodded and kept the letter in his arms.  In the middle, he picked up the two jars of wine and said goodbye to Li He. Li He sent the two of them out the door.

    Shi Quan and Fang Jinshi walked to an avenue, where there was a small wine shop. The two went there to order some food for dinner. Shi Quan asked Fang Jinshi, "Where are you going, brother?" Fang Jinshi didn't know where he was going.  There, he always followed the previous lies, so he said: "I want to wait for my young boss in Yanzhou City. If he returns safely after being separated, he will definitely meet me somewhere."

    Shi Quan said: "Then let's separate after we eat. I want to give the money to He Xiaosi's brother, who is thirty miles away. His brother is a scholar. He has taken the imperial examination this year. He is worried about running out of money to go to Bianliang.  Now his brother can study with peace of mind."

    Fang Jinshi heard what he said. Shi Quan was really a very enthusiastic person. The two of them had picked up the horse together, but he gave all the money from selling the horse to He Xiaosi. Being with this person made people feel at ease.  There were so many of them, and now they were about to separate, I felt a little sad, so I couldn't help but sigh.

    Shi Quan saw this and chuckled: "It's not like we brothers will never meet again in this life. Whenever brother Fang wants to see me, he goes to Linjia Village, thirty miles east of Luojiao County, to look for me. Most people there will know me."  I."

    Fang Jinshi nodded, and the two of them finished eating and went out. Shi Quan said, "Let's separate here." As he said that, he put something into Fang Jinshi's hand. Fang Jinshi lowered his head and saw that it was a copper coin. He was about to shirk his politeness.  , Shi Quan said: "We are brothers, so there is no need to say more, just think of it as your eldest brother borrowing it from you temporarily." After saying that, he forced it into Fang Jinshi's hand, without looking back, humming some unknown tune in his mouth, and strode away.

    Fang Jinshi was a little moved. Thinking about future generations, who would lend money to a person who had just known him for a few hours for nothing, and it would be hard to say whether the two would meet in person in the future. Moreover, this amount of money meant nothing to Shi Quan at this time.  There are also a lot of them.

    However, with this money, he felt a lot more settled. At least he had a place to sleep tonight. He went shopping in Anjiangji for a while. It was getting dark, and there was not much excitement in this small place at night.  Find an inn to stay in and have a good sleep first.

    Fang Jinshi found an inn and spent seventy cents. Maybe the innkeeper didn't understand anything because of his face, so he raised the price deliberately. Fang Jinshi washed himself well, lay on the bed and looked at the beams, thinking to himself.  : Can I go back?  Where am I going?  My head was spinning thinking about these questions, and I thought about them over and over for most of the night, but I couldn't come up with a result.

    When he woke up again, it was almost noon the next day. If the room hadn't been too hot, he would have slept until night before thinking about getting up. He lazily got up, washed his face, and went outside to eat.  I was standing on the streets of Anjiangji, watching people coming and going, but I still didn't think of where to go. I heard that Yanzhou City nearby was the most lively, so why not go there to have a look.

    He made up his mind and was just about to find someone to inquire about the road when he heard someone behind him calling: "Brother Fang, Brother Fang." Fang Jinshi looked back and saw that it was Li He.

    He was driving a donkey cart with more than ten bags of grain. He called him at the main road. Fang Jinshi approached Li He. Li He said, "Brother Fang is still here? Is Brother Shi gone?"

    Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "Brother Shi went back last night. Where is Brother Li going?" Li He said, "I want to send something to Suide. Where is Brother Fang going?" Fang Jinshi didn't know either.  Suide was there, but he had nowhere to go, so he wanted to go play with Li He, so he said, "I have a friend who is also in Suide. I have nothing to do. Can you take Brother Li's car to visit there?"  Meet my friend?"

    Li He said: "Of course you can, please come here." Fang Jinshi walked over and got on Li He's donkey cart. Li He shouted, and the donkey cart moved forward slowly.

    Along the way, the two of them were chatting and laughing. Li He had been traveling for a long time, and the driver of the cart was a disseminator of information. He was eloquent and told anecdotes. Fang Jinshi also smiled when he heard this, thinking that Li He was in this situation.  In later generations, he had a rivalry with Guo Degang.

    The two of them left the city and came all the way to Suide. Fang Jinshi suddenly remembered Shi Quan and asked Li He: "The letter that Brother Li brought to Brother Shi Quan, I heard that the letter was written by a girl named Wang. Brother Li gave it to him."  Let me tell you what happened between Brother Shi Quan and Miss Wang."

    Li He cleared his throat and chuckled: "Hey, speaking of this Miss Wang, Brother Shi is really affectionate towards her. It can be said that Brother Shi's assassination of Yan'an Mansion is because of this Miss Wang."??

    Fang Jinshi was immediately interested and said to Li He, "Brother Li, tell me, but I really want to hear it."

    Li He said: "This Miss Wang, whose name is Wang Yumei and nickname is Mei'er, is originally from Jiangning Prefecture. Her father also served as a local official in Huaibei. Later, she dared to embezzle Hua Shigang. She was reported and exiled.  She died of illness, and as soon as her father died, her brother took her to Bianliang, Tokyo, to make a living."

    Fang Jinshi asked: "How can we meet Brother Shi again?"
