The first field

Fan came home from school, and his mother and wife came out to meet him happily. ]

Jin Fan: Mom, I'm back!

Jin Fan's wife: (happily and lightly chastising) Oh, Xianggong, you're back! You must be hungry. I want to cook!

Jin Fan: That's very kind of you.

Just then, the butcher Hu appeared at the door with a pair of large intestines and a bottle of wine. ]

Jin Fan: (hurriedly respectfully) This is your father-in-law. Come on in!

Butcher Hu: (sighs, smug) Hey, it's bad luck for me to marry my daughter to you, a disappointing layman. It cost me a lot of money instead of making money. Now I don't know what merits I have accumulated in my last life, which makes you a scholar. Today, I bring wine and meat to congratulate you.

[Butcher Hu said, handed the wine and meat to his daughter, and then entered the house bound, and Fan4 jin4 leaned down and followed. Hu and he sat together in a thatched cottage. ]

Hutu: You are a scholar now, so you must be a scholar in everything you do in the future.

Jin Fan: (respectfully repeating the promise) Yes, my father-in-law said so.

Butcher Hu: (condescending, stiffly) People with serious jobs like us are all your elders. Don't put on airs like scholars in front of us! If you bow to the ordinary people who pick up dung and farm, you will be on an equal footing, that is, breaking the rules and degrading my status, and I will lose all my face!

Jin Fan: (bowing humbly) Yes, I will never forget your teachings.

Butcher Hu: (Straightening up, swaggering) I think you are a smelly, honest and useless person. You don't know etiquette and rules. I have to teach you how to treat people so as not to make people laugh and throw my face outside!

Jin Fan: (respectfully) Thank you for your advice!

Butcher Hu: (after a pause, he added) My mother will come to dinner with me, and my little daughter will have some. Since my daughter came into your house, I don't know if I have eaten lard once or twice in more than ten years! (Looking at her daughter's busy figure, regretfully) Poor! Poor thing!

Jin Fan's wife: The meal is ready. Come and eat!

When the meal is ready, several people eat together around the table. After dinner, he and his mother thanked each other. Butcher Hu got drunk and left. ]

The second field

[Fan4 jin4 wanted to attend after having obtained the provincial examinations with the scholar who had obtained the provincial examinations together, but he was not ready for the travelling expenses, so he found the butcher Hu to discuss. ]

Jin Fan: (respectfully and cautiously) Grandpa, I have an exam today and I will take the provincial exam, but I am short of money, so I have to invite you. ...

Butcher Hu: (angrily and arrogantly interrupting) Bah! A little bit of a chew! However, after reluctantly becoming a scholar, the toad actually wants to eat swan meat!

Jin Fan: (depressed and anxious) But, I ...

Hutu: You think it's great to get a scholar's name. You think Lao Tzu's article is the best in the world! I heard that you are a scholar, but the marking officer only gave you a "scholar" because he thought you were old and pitied you! Look at Zhang Fu, the rich owner of this city. They are all satellites in the sky, and they are all noble people! Look at other people's big ears. Which one is not rich? Miss you, such a sharp-tongued monkey can see it with his own eyes without peeing! No, no, no,no. You want to eat swan fart to do great things!

Jin Fan: (helplessly, tentatively) But my father-in-law, I ...

Butcher Hu: (impatiently) You asked me for money. Killing pigs in a day doesn't make much money. I told you to throw the money into the water, so you can't hit the dog with meat buns-is there no reward? It's serious to feed your mother and your wife. Don't waste any more money!

Fan Jin got a scolding, then quit his father-in-law and walked out of the butcher shop. He was walking on the way to the same case, thinking about whether to take the exam or not, and suddenly he met a fortune teller. ]

Jin Fan: (whispering) Are you going to take the exam? Maybe the last exam was really blessed by God. I wonder if the Bodhisattva will bless me this time?

Fortune teller: (stops Jin Fan and looks him up and down with a smile) Please stay here. I think you look good. In the near future, you will be a lucky star and a lucky star. Why don't you take a picture with me?

Jin Fan: (happily) Really? [while squatting down with a grain of salt, let the fortune teller visit fortune-teller for him. ]

Fortune teller: (looking at Jin Fan carefully) Sir, your brow is furrowed. I think you are worried and confused about something that is difficult to judge. This matter will play an important role for you, so you should grasp it well and think it over. If you obey God's will, you will succeed in my career. If you go against God's will, you will accomplish nothing in your old age.

Jin Fan: Mr. Wang hit the nail on the head. I'll be careful. (Standing up, talking to himself) How do you know you can't pass the exam unless you go to the examination room? Besides, this gentleman said that I should seize the opportunity. Isn't this a good opportunity for promotion? Win or lose is free. Why not give it a try? Bodhisattva's compassion will help me.

[After paying the money, Fan4 jin4 quickened his pace and moved on. ]

Third field

[Early in the morning. ]

Fan: (anxiously) Ah, you can take our hen who can only lay eggs to the market and buy a few liters of rice to cook porridge at home. I'm so hungry that I can't see anything!

Jin Fan: Mom, that chicken can be sold to make money after laying eggs, and it can also keep some supplementary nutrition. Not for sale now. It's better to borrow some rice and millet from neighbors for a while, and then pay it back when my father-in-law comes to help.

Fan: Well, I thought about it too, but our neighbors refused to borrow it, saying that we were too poor to pay it back in the future.

Jin Fan: (glancing at the door angrily, the neighbor leaves in a hurry) Well, I'll sell chickens now, and your old man will wait for you. [Say that finish then holding the chicken to the market. ]

After three or four hours, I heard a gong, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually started. Everyone outside shouted: "Please come out quickly, Master Fan, congratulations to senior high school!" ]

Fan Jinmu: (in disbelief and fear) What's the matter? What ... What's going on?

Interviewer: Old lady, your son has been promoted to middle school. I'm here to give good news. Where's Master Fan? Congratulations!

Fan Jin Mu: (happily) Have fun together! My son went to the market early this morning and hasn't come back yet.

Neighbor: (volunteered) I'll call Master Fan back!

Jin Mu: Thank you very much.

Neighbors found Jin Fan in the market. Jin Fan looked around the market with a chicken in her arms. ]

Neighbor: (respectfully and eagerly) Fan Xianggong, please go home quickly. You won the provincial examination, and all the applicants came to report the good news. On behalf of your mother, I told you to go home quickly.

Jin Fan: Gao Lin, stop being sarcastic and don't fool me.

Neighbor: (Seeing that Jin Fan didn't believe me, he grabbed the chicken from him) This is true. Why should I lie to you? Go back!

Jin Fan: Don't be ridiculous, Gao Lin, this is ...

When the neighbors saw Fan Jin, they dragged him out of the market and went home. ]

Reporter: (Laughing loudly) The nouveau riche is back! (To Jin Fan) Master Fan, congratulations on your high school!

Jin Fan: (doubtfully) Really? ...

[Everyone pushes into the purlin, only to see a poster already hanging in the hall: "Good news, your grandfather Fan has entered the Guangdong Provincial Examination in the seventh Asian dollar, a high school. Beijing News joined Huang Jia. " Jin Fan looked at it and read it again. ]

Jin Fan: (unbelievable and ecstatic) Hey! All right! I won! I got in!

[Fan4 jin4 said, and danced with joy, but accidentally fell back to the ground, gritted his teeth and was unconscious. Everyone was in a panic, and the neighbor took a pot of cold water and threw it down to wake Jin Fan. Jin Fan stood up. ]

Jin Fan: (laughs) Yes! Great! I won! I won! Ha ha ha ha ~ ~!

[Say that finish, Fan4 jin4 jumped up and ran out. Everyone got a fright and didn't stop him. Just a few steps later, I fell into a puddle with messy hair, yellow mud on my face and hands, and water all over my body. Everyone hurried out to pull Jin Fan back, but he didn't. Jin Fan clapped his hands, mumbled something and ran to the market with a smile. ]

Everyone: (helplessly looking at each other) Alas! It turns out that this upstart is ecstatic!

Fan Jinmu: (crying) My son is really miserable! I'm so happy that I finally won the prize. I don't know when I can do it!

Jin Fan's wife: (anxiously) I was fine when I went out this morning. Why now? Well, it's also that he didn't get this blessing. It never rains but it pours-what should we do?

Neighbor: (on behalf of everyone, respectfully) Madam, don't panic. We sent two people to follow Master Fan. Why don't we get some eggs and rice wine from our home to entertain the applicants, and then we can discuss it after dinner.

Jin Fan's mother and wife: OK!

The neighbors all left first and brought some eggs, wine and rice back from home. ]

Scene 4

[Jin Fan's mother and wife did a good job in entertaining neighbors and registering people after dinner. ]

Reporter: I do have a way to cure Master Fan's madness. I don't know if it's ok.

Everyone: What do you think? Tell me about it!

Reporter: I wonder if Master Fan usually has anyone he fears most? Today, I am crazy, just because I am so happy, my phlegm is surging and I am confused. Now, as long as the person he fears most slaps him and tells him,' The reporter just makes you happy, but you still take it seriously'. As soon as he was afraid, he spit out his phlegm and recovered.

Everyone: (clapping and laughing) That's a good idea!

Neighbor: (smiling and caring for each other) The person Master Fan fears most on weekdays is old Hu Man who kills pigs. Let's go to him and treat Master Fan now.

[Neighbors volunteered to find Hu Torre, but they just stepped out of the threshold and met Hu Butcher. With four or five thousand dollars in one hand and seven or eight pounds of meat in the other, he hurried to congratulate with a smile. Neighbors greeted him and explained the current situation. The butcher panicked and hurried in to find his mother. ]

Butcher Hu: My mother, this ...

Fan Jinmu: (crying, sad and helpless) Yes, I thought he would be happy, but he was crazy with joy ... what a bitter life!

Butcher Hu: (unbelievable, surprised) Isn't your husband so blessed?

Everyone gathered around to comfort and told Hu about the plan. ]

Butcher Hu: (guilty) Will this work? Jin Fan is my son-in-law, but now he is a master and a satellite in the sky. The stars in the sky are absolutely invincible! After the stars in the sky are finished, Yan Xihui will hit another hundred sticks after his death, and he will be sent down to eighteen layers of hell and never turn over! Amitabha, I dare not do such a thing!

Neighbor: Come on! Dad Hu, you kill pigs every day, with a white knife in and a red knife out. I don't know how many thousands of stickers Yan wrote for you. What does it matter if you add this hundred stickers? Besides, if you cure your son-in-law's illness, you will make amends. Maybe Yan Xi will refer you to the seventeenth floor of hell.

Recorder: (echoing the voice) Yes, yes, Dad Hu, please be flexible, cure Master Fan's illness and make a contribution to yourself!

[Butcher Hu looks at my mother again. ]

Jin Mu: Follow them! But hitting him gently just scares him and doesn't really hurt anyone.

[Butcher, after hearing what Hu said, he is more confident. He poured two bowls of wine, revealing his usual vicious lost face, rolled up his sleeves and went to the market. ]

Scene 5

When I went to the market, I saw Jin Fan standing at the door of a ruined temple, with his hair hanging freely and his face covered with mud, leaving only one shoe. ]

Jin Fan: (madly) I won! That's right. Yeah!

[Butcher Hu pushed the onlookers away, strode to Fan Jin and rolled up his sleeves. ]

Butcher Hu: (fierce) This damn beast has come to provoke Lao Tzu again! You farted!

[Say that finish, slap it down. After slapping, I felt guilty and didn't slap my second hand again. Just stepped down and stood aside, suddenly I felt a dull pain in my hand. At first glance, my whole hand is upturned, and I haven't recovered from the posture I just played Jin Fan. ]

Butcher Hu: (annoyed and a little scary to himself) It's true that the gods in the sky can't fight, and the bodhisattva cares. Hey! Now that I have committed a crime, I didn't expect God to pay me back so soon!

[Butcher Hu wanted to think carefully, but his hand hurt more. Jin Fan was stunned by this slap and fainted to the ground. They rushed to rub his chest and back. After a long time, Fan woke up, his eyes were bright, and his behavior was as usual-not crazy. They hurriedly helped him sit up. ]

Jin Fan: (puzzled) fellow villagers, what are you ... why am I groggy and weak?

Neighbor: (respectfully, promise first) Master Fan, you were so excited and lost your mind after high school that you didn't wake up until Grandpa Hu slapped you down.

Jin Fan: Oh, (patting his forehead) Yes, I also vaguely remember that I won the seventh place in the provincial examination.

[Fan Jin woke up, and everyone was very happy. They carried him into a small shop in this street and brought him a basin of water to wash his face. Neighbors have found another shoe and put it on for Jin Fan. While he was busy, the butcher Hu Jin came. Fan Jin met his father-in-law, fearing that his father-in-law would hit him again, and he did not know where to hide. ]

Butcher Hu: (walks up to him carefully) Honey, I didn't mean to hit you just now. I dare not hit you even if I eat the hearts of wolves and leopards. My mother asked me to hit you to wake you up quickly.

Recorder: (laughs) The palm of Lao Hu's hand is really wonderful. After a while, Master Fan will wash his face, fearing that he will also wash half a catty of lard.

Neighbor: Dad Hu, I'm afraid you can't even kill a pig tomorrow.

Butcher Hu: (proudly) Do I need to kill pigs in the future? With my good husband, I should enjoy the rest of my life! I don't always say that I am a good husband, with high academic ability and good looks, but even the masters of Zhou Fu and Zhang Fu in the city can't catch up with my son-in-law! You don't know that when I chose a husband for my little daughter, many rich people who wanted to marry my family were rejected by me. I had long expected that my daughter would have the honor of marrying a master. Today ... haha, sure enough!

[All the people and Hu Torre laughed. They watched Fan Jin finish his meal and went home together. Along the way, the butcher Hu followed and saw that the skirt behind the coat was wrinkled a lot. He bowed his head and pulled for him dozens of times along the way. ]

Scene 6

[A passer-by helps Fan4 jin4 to go home and get to the door. ]

Hu: (shouting) Master has gone back to the house!

Hearing the shouts, Jin Fan's mother and wife rushed out, and their faces lit up when they saw that Jin Fan was not crazy. ]

Jin Fan: (shouts excitedly as soon as he enters the door) Mom, mom, I'm home!

Fan Jinmu: (stumbling out in a hurry) It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up!

[Fan4 jin4 took the gift from the butcher Hu to the reporter and sent it back. The crowd dispersed. I came to thank Hu when I saw my mother. ]

Butcher Hu: (uneasily) I ... the coins I took are not enough for you to reward others, really. ...

Jin Fan: (Seeing a stranger sitting in the living room, he asked puzzled) Who is that, Mom?

Fan: As soon as he came in, he said he was a distant relative of our family. He was poorly dressed, so I called him in. Admit it!

Jin Fan: (Jin Fan promised to walk into the hall and bowed to the man) I wasn't here just now. Please don't take it amiss if there is any negligence!

Beggar: Thank Master Fan for not abandoning me!

Jin Fan: May I ask what is your relationship?

Beggar: Well, I'm still your cousin.

Jin Fan: (incredulously) Really? How come I never heard my father mention it?

Beggar: You don't know, in that war-torn era, our family was displaced and wandered around, and finally we stayed in one place, but my father died. From then on, we can only make a living by begging ... well, after all, it's not easy to live at this age, even if we die of old age, we want to come back and feel at ease. Begging at this point, just heard that you won the lottery, unhappy, want to kiss.

Jin Fan: (thoughtfully) I see. What about you? ...

Just then, I heard someone shouting "the magistrate is coming" outside. Urgently ask mother, wife, butcher and beggar to stand back and get dressed to see the county magistrate. ]

County magistrate: (respectfully) Master Fan, please forgive me for coming in a hurry without prior notice.

Jin Fan: Never mind, never mind. I don't know why the magistrate came to my humble abode. As he speaks, he leads the magistrate to the hut and sits down. ]

County magistrate: Master Fan has won the provincial examination, and no one in the city knows it. You are our pride!

Jin Fan: I'm flattered!

County magistrate: Where's your mother? Her old man must have taught his children well and made contributions to the whole city-we decided to build a chastity memorial arch for your mother, so that you and his old man will go down in history forever and be admired by future generations.

Jin Fan: My Lord, this is not right. ...

County magistrate: There is nothing wrong, please don't shirk it! Construction will start tomorrow, please tell him.

[Say that finish, the county magistrate got up and left, and Fan4 jin4 was sent to the door. ]

Game 7

Just after delivering the county magistrate, I was glad to tell my mother that a housekeeper flew in with a red invitation and reported, "Master Zhang has come to visit Master Fan in New China." Then, the sedan chair stopped at the door of Fan Fu. Jin Fan hurried to meet him, and Xiangshen Zhang got off the sedan chair wearing a gauze hat and golden soap boots. After some pleasantries, Fan walked into the room. ]

Xiangshen Zhang: My husband and I live in the same place, but we haven't been there for many years, so we lost our intimacy, and we still hope to make up for it.

Jin Fan: I have heard a lot about you, but I have never been there.

Xiangshen Zhang: Just now, I recognized you from the list as the same old gentleman-so we are close brothers!

Jin Fan: It's an honor for Fan to belong with you.

Xiangshen Zhang: (Looking around, lowering his voice) Mr. Wang has no children!

Jin Fan: (embarrassed) This ...

Xiangshen Zhang: We are all brothers. Why don't we say something? I have a little daughter, 28 years old, who has never been married because of her picky eyes ... If you don't mind, my brother is willing to betroth her to you, and our brothers will be closer ... What do you think?

Jin Fan: No, I am married. My wife has always been virtuous, caring for her husband and filial to her mother. How can I let her down!

Xiangshen Zhang: You can't say that. You will succeed in your career in the future. Go and see those dignitaries who are not three wives and four concubines. Besides, you don't have children, and what can you do without a career successor?

Jin Fan: (thoughtfully) There is some truth in this statement. ...

Xiangshen Zhang: I am a frank person, so it's a deal! Pick an auspicious day and I'll call the matchmaker to propose marriage! (Looking around again, expressing concern) To tell the truth, your family is really poor.

[Say that finish a wave of his hand, behind the entourage held out a silver letter. ]

Xiangshen Zhang: I have nothing to respect you, brother. Please accept it. I have an old house, which is not very spacious, but it is clean. If you come, you can live there permanently, which is convenient for us to communicate together.

Jin Fan: How is that possible? I appreciate your kindness, so don't worry about moving there

Xiangshen Zhang: (anxiously) If we make friends, we will be brothers. If you don't go, you will lose face to my brother.

[Fan accepted the money, bowing to thank you. After chatting for a while, the two said goodbye. After he left, Butcher Hu came out from behind the painted screen. Open the silver letter, take out a few ingots of glistening silver and give it to Hu Butcher. ]

Jin Fan: Just now, you took 5000 yuan. This is not a tribute. Please help yourself.

Butcher Hu: (staring at the silver insincerely) How can this be done? I came to give you a present. Why did I take the money again?

Jin Fan: Don't make excuses. I still have some money here. If tomorrow is not enough, I'll ask you for it again.

Butcher Hu: (He quickly took the money and put it in his pocket) That is to say, he is my old customer, and his family is afraid of being richer than the emperor. Even if it's not serious for a year, you have to buy four or five pounds of meat-you won't have to worry about money in the future!

[Turning to my daughter again] When I went out this morning, your brother still wouldn't let me take the money to deliver it, so I scolded him and said,' My uncle is not what he used to be. I'm afraid he doesn't care about the money.' Sure enough! Today, I took the silver back and cursed his short-lived slave to die!

[Say that finish, Hu thanked the butcher again and bowed his head and walked away. ]
