The full text of Fan Jinzhong's translation

Fan Jinzhong returned to his hometown after Jinshi, and his mother and wife were very happy. Is preparing to cook, I saw his father-in-law butcher Hu, holding a pair of large intestine and a bottle of wine, came in. Jin Fan bowed to him and sat down.

Hu Butcher said, "It's unfortunate that I married my daughter to you shameless guy. I don't know how much drag these years have brought me. " Now I don't know what virtue I have accumulated, which has made you shine on me and lucky enough to win a scholar, so I brought you a bottle of wine to congratulate you. "Fan4 jin4 repeatedly promised that his wife would cook intestines, cook wine and sit under a thatched shed. Mother and daughter-in-law are cooking in the kitchen.

The butcher also ordered, "Since you are a scholar, you should make rules. For example, my industry is full of respectable people and your elders, so you can't put on airs in front of us; If these farmers and dung pickers are just ordinary people in the family, if you bow to them as equals, it will break the rules of the school and make me lose face. You are an honest and useless person, so I have to teach you these words so as not to make people laugh. "

Jin Fan said, "My father-in-law taught me." Butcher Hu added, "My mother should come and sit here for dinner. The old man eats small dishes and meals every day, and his life must be hard. My daughter also came to eat some. I've been in your house for more than ten years, and I don't know if I ate lard two or three times! Poor thing! Poor! " Say that finish, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law come and sit for dinner. Eating and drinking until dusk, butcher Hu was drunk. Jin Fan and his mother, thank you very much. The butcher covered his face with clothes and left with a stomach.

The next day, Jin Fan inevitably visited his fellow villagers and neighbors. Wei also made an appointment with a group of contemporary scholars and friends. Because it was the year after the provincial examination, I attended several literary parties. Before you know it, by the end of June, the same Jinshi invited Fan to come in and take the provincial examination.

Jin Fan went to discuss with his father-in-law, because he had no travelling expenses. The butcher spat at him and scolded the dog, "Don't waste any more time! You know you won a scholar, so you got up. I heard that when you became a scholar, it was not because your article was well written, but because the scholar thought you were old and had no choice, so I gave it to you.

Now the ghost has lost his mind, and he wants to win the prize! These are satellites in the sky! Don't you see that the juren of the Zhang family in the city are very rich and big in all aspects? Like you, you should take a piss and look at yourself! No three no four, just want to eat swan meat! Take this heart as soon as possible, and find you a place to teach in my industry next year, and earn a few taels of silver every year to support your old lady and your wife!

You ask me for money, and I can't make much money by killing a pig a day, so I throw it all into the water and let my family drink the northwest wind! "A delicious, scold fan4 jin4 don't know how to speak.

So I left my father-in-law and came back, thinking to myself, "The teacher said that my kung fu in writing articles has reached home. Since ancient times, I have never been admitted without entering the examination room. How can I be satisfied if I don't take the exam? " So I discussed with several people who took the exam together and went to the city to take the provincial exam without telling my husband. Go home as soon as you leave the examination room. And my family has been hungry for two or three days. Butcher Hu found out and was scolded again.

On the day the list was published, there was no rice for breakfast at home. My mother told Jin Fan, "I still have a hen that lays eggs. Please take it to the market and buy a few liters of rice to cook porridge. I'm so hungry that I can't see. " Fan Jin hurriedly hugged the chicken and went out of the market.

After walking for less than four hours, I heard a gong and three people rode in. The three men got off the horse, tied the horse to the thatched shed and repeatedly shouted, "Please ask Master Fan to come out quickly. Congratulations! " Mother didn't know what had happened, so she hid in the house in fear. When I heard that I won the lottery, I dared to stick my head out and explain, "Please sit down, my son has just gone out."

The person who signed up said, "It turned out to be an old lady." Everyone gathered around for money. It's noisy, there are several people, and the second and third newspapers have arrived. The room was so crowded that even the thatched shed was full. Neighbors came, too, crowding to watch the fun. The old lady had no choice but to beg her neighbors to go to the market to find Jin Fan.

Neighbors ran to the market and couldn't find them anywhere; Until I found the east side of the market, I saw Jin Fan walking slowly with a chicken and a grass sign in his hand, looking around and looking for a buyer there. The neighbor said, "Jin Fan, come back quickly! Congratulations on your award. The bearer of good news has packed a room. "

Fan4 jin4 thought he was lying to him, so he pretended not to hear and walked forward with his head down. Neighbors saw him ignore him and went forward to grab the chicken in his hand. Jin Fan said, "Why did you steal my chicken? Don't buy it. " The neighbor said, "You won the lottery and asked you to go home to send those applicants."

Jin Fan said, "Gao Lin, you know I have no food to cook today. I want to sell this chicken to save my life. Why did you lie to me with these words? " I won't argue with you, go home by yourself, and don't delay my selling chicken. "Neighbors saw that he didn't believe it, grabbed the chicken, threw it underground, and pulled Jin Fan back.

The recorder saw it and said, "Great, the nouveau riche is back." Just as he was about to speak, Jin Fan walked into the room in three or two steps and saw a poster hanging in the center of the room, which said, "Good news for your master. Fan Biao, who took the Guangdong provincial exam in high school, won the seventh Asian dollar." The Beijing News Lian Deng Huang Jia. "

It doesn't matter if Jin Fan hasn't read it. He watched it again and again, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Hey! All right! I won! " Say that finish, back down, his teeth clenched, unconscious. The old lady panicked and quickly poured him a few mouthfuls of boiling water.

He got up, clapped his hands again and laughed loudly: "Hey! All right! I won! " He laughed and jumped out, scaring reporters and neighbors. Not far from the gate, I stepped into the pond and struggled, my hair was messy, my hands were yellow, and my whole body was wet with water.

Everyone couldn't stop him, patting and laughing, and walked all the way to the market. Everyone looked at each other and said, "The new rich are really happy." The old lady cried, "What retribution! If you win the prize, you will get this unlucky disease! This is crazy. When will it be ready? "

Khufu said, "It's okay to go out in the morning. How did you get such a disease! Then what can I do? " Neighbors advised, "Don't panic, old lady. We'll send two people to follow Master Fan for the time being. Here, everyone takes some eggs, wine and rice from home, and the old man who stays in the newspaper for the time being will discuss this matter again. "

At this time, some neighbors brought eggs, some brought white wine, some carried a bucket of rice, and some caught two chickens. The lady made it in the kitchen crying and took it to the thatched shed. The neighbor moved some tables and stools, and asked the reporter to sit down and drink and discuss his madness. what should he do ？

One of the applicants said, "I do have an idea. I don't know if it will work. " "Many people asked," what idea? "The man said," does Master Fan have the person he fears most on weekdays? He was just so happy that his phlegm rushed up and he lost his mind. Now all he needs is that the person he is afraid of hits him in the mouth and says, "Everything you reported is a lie. You didn't win." He was scared to spit out his phlegm. I see. "

Many neighbors applauded and said, "This idea is great, great!" " Master Fan is most afraid of killing pig dad Hu. Great! Go find khufu. He may not know the way yet, but he still sells meat in the market. Another man said, "If he bought meat in the market, he would know." He has been going to Dongtou Market to catch pigs since the fifth watch, and he hasn't come back yet. Go and meet him quickly. "

A man ran to meet him. On the way, I met Butcher Hu, followed by a boiler, carrying seven or eight pounds of meat and four or five thousand dollars, and was about to come over to congratulate him. I saw the old lady when I entered the door. The old lady cried and told her something. Hu Butcher said in surprise, "Isn't it so lucky?" The people outside voiced together and asked Mr. Hu to speak. Butcher Hu gave meat and money to his daughter and ran out.

Let's tell him our ideas and discuss them with him. The butcher Hu was puzzled and said, "Although this is my son-in-law, he is now a master of juren and a star in the sky. The stars in the sky cannot be beaten! I heard from Zhai Gong that if you hit the stars in the sky, you will be beaten with a hundred iron bars by the prince and sent to eighteen layers of hell, and you will never turn over. I dare not do such a thing! "

A bitter man in the neighborhood said, "Forget it! Dad Hu, you kill pigs every day to do business, white knives go in and red knives come out. Yan doesn't know that the judge wrote thousands of iron bars in your book; What does it matter to add this hundred sticks? I'm afraid the iron bar is finished, so it's not in this account. Maybe you saved your son-in-law's illness, and the prince thought you were meritorious and carried you from hell to the seventeenth floor. "

The recorder said, "Don't just joke. Dad Hu, this thing has to be like this. There is no way, so you can be flexible. " The butcher had to drink two bowls of wine because of the respect of the people, so he summoned up his courage, put away these concerns just now, took out his usual ferocious appearance, rolled up a roll of greasy sleeves and went to the market. Five or six neighbors followed.

The old lady rushed out and shouted, "in-laws, you can only scare him, not hurt him!" " "The neighbors said," Of course, that needs your command. " Said, and went straight away.

When I came to the market, I saw Jin Fan standing at the door of a temple. His hair was loose, his face was covered with mud, and one of his shoes had run away. He just clapped his hands and shouted, "Bingo! Bingo! " Like a demon, the butcher Hu stepped forward and said, "Bastard! What did you win? " Hit it with one mouth.

Many people and neighbors couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. Unexpectedly, although Butcher Hu got the nerve to beat him, he was still afraid. His hands will tremble, and he won't dare to hit again. Fan Jin was knocked unconscious by a mouth and fainted on the ground. All the neighbors came forward together to wipe his chest and beat his vest. After a long time, he slowly gasped, his eyes lit up and he was not crazy.

Many people helped him up and borrowed a bench at the gate of the temple for the surgeon to sit on. Butcher Hu stood aside, and after a while, he vaguely felt a pain in his hand. When I watch it myself, I can't take it back with a slap. I was annoyed and said, "The' Wenquxing' in the sky is really invincible. Now the bodhisattva cares. " Think about it, the pain is worse, and I quickly asked the doctor for a plaster.

Jin Fan looked at many people and said, "Why am I sitting here?" He added, "I have been in a daze for a long time, just like in a dream." "The neighbor said," Sir, congratulations on your graduation from high school. I was so happy just now. I just spit a few mouthfuls. It doesn't matter. Please go home and send the tape recorder. "

Jin Fan said, "That's right. I still remember that I was the seventh in my class. " Fan Jin pulled his hair and borrowed a basin of water to wash the doctor's face. A neighbor found this shoe and helped him put it on. Seeing my father-in-law following me, I am afraid that he will scold again. The butcher Hu stepped forward and said, "Dear husband, I didn't dare to be bold just now. It was your old lady who begged me to persuade you. "

One of the neighbors said: "Mr. Hu just made a friendly mouth, and later Mr. Fan will wash his face and wash half a basin of lard!" " The other said, "Dad, you can't kill pigs with this hand tomorrow." Butcher Hu said, "I don't have to kill pigs! With my good husband, are you afraid that you won't have to rely on it for the rest of your life?

I often say that my son-in-law, highly educated, has a good personality and looks good. Even these lords of Zhang Fu and Zhou Fu, at the head of the city, don't have such a decent appearance as my son-in-law. You don't know, and I'm not afraid to tell you. I see people with my eyes.

Back in those days, my youngest daughter grew up at home in her thirties, and many rich people wanted to form in-laws with me. I feel that my daughter, like some lucky people, will eventually marry an old man. Today, there is nothing wrong! "

Say that finish, say with smile: They all laughed. After watching Jin Fan wash his face, the doctor brought tea again and went home together. Fan walked in front, followed by the butcher and neighbors. When the butcher saw his son-in-law's clothes, his skirt was wrinkled a lot, and he bowed his head and gave him dozens of times.

Arriving at the door of the house, the butcher shouted, "The master has returned to the house!" " "The old lady greeted her and was glad to see that her son was not crazy. Many people ask where the newspaper was recorded, and the family has sent it away with thousands of dollars from the butcher. Jin Fan paid tribute to his mother and father-in-law. Butcher Hu repeatedly said uneasily, "There is not much money here, and it is not enough for you to reward others." "Fan4 jin4 thanked the neighbors again.

I was about to sit down, but I saw a well-dressed housekeeper fly in with a red sticker in his hand: "Master Zhang from New China came to meet Master Fan." Say that finish, the sedan chair is already at the door. Butcher Hu quickly hid in his daughter's room and dared not come out. Neighbors parted ways.

Jin Fan was greeted by Xiangshen Zhang, who got off the sedan chair and came in, wearing a gauze cap, a sunflower-colored round neck, a gold belt around his waist and soap-role boots. Born as a juren, he worked as a magistrate of a county and was nicknamed Jingzhai. Hehe comically invited him in, kowtowed in the main room and sat down with the two sides. Let's talk about it first: "Although Mr. Shi is in the village, he has never been close."

Jin Fan said: "The deceased students have always admired this old gentleman, but they have no chance to meet him." Xiangshen Zhang said, "I saw the champion list just now. Your teacher, Tang Gong of Gaoyao County, is a student of my late grandfather. You and I are close family brothers. " Jin Fan said: "It is a shame to be lucky to be born late. But fortunately, from the door of the old gentleman, it is really gratifying. "

Xiangshen Zhang looked around and said, "Poor Mr. Shi." I took a piece of silver from the servant who came with me and said, "I have nothing good for you." I solemnly prepared fifty taels as a gift, and Mr. Shi kept it for the time being. This kind of China residence is really unbearable, and it is not convenient for the host or someone to visit in the future.

I have an empty house with three bedrooms in Dongmen Street. Although it was not very spacious, it was clean, so I gave it to Teacher Shi. Let's move in. Sooner or later, we'd better go home and consult. Jin Fan repeatedly refused, and Xiangshen Zhang was anxious and said, "You and I have been friends for many years, like close relatives; If so, it is a stranger. " Fan Jin put down his silver hand and bowed to thank him. After chatting for a while, Xiangshen Zhang bowed to say goodbye. Hu Butcher waited for him to get into the sedan chair before he dared to leave the room.

Jin Fan immediately handed the silverware to his wife to open. It was a snow-white silver ingot, so I wrapped two ingots, called butcher Hu in and handed it to him, saying, "Dad just spent money and brought five thousand. Dad, take this six taels of silver. " The butcher held the silver tightly in his hand, stretched out his fist and said, "Take this first. I was going to congratulate you, how dare you take it back? " Jin Fan said, "I still have these two pieces of silver here at the moment. If it's used up, I'll ask dad for it again. "

The butcher quickly withdrew his fist, put the money in his waist, and said, "Forget it, since he has made friends with Master Zhang, why worry about having no money to spend?" His family is richer than the emperor's. ! His family is my meat customer. There is nothing to do in a year, and the meat has to be four or five pounds. What's strange about silver! "

He turned to his daughter and said, "I brought money this morning, but your damn brother still refused." I said,' Uncle, it's not what it used to be. It is inevitable that someone will send him money, but I'm afraid he is not rare. Now it really is! Now take the money home and scold this short-lived slave! "Said for a while, thanks, low head, left Fan Fan with a smile. ?

Since then, many people have come to flatter him: some have sent farmland; Someone sent a shop; Some have settled down, and the couple are devoted to servants and seek asylum. Two or three months later, Jin Fan's servants and maids will be available, and money and rice are needless to say. Xiangshen Zhang Jiali urged to move again. Move to a new house, sing opera, set wine and treat for three days.

Second, the original text

Fan came home from school, and his mother and wife were very happy. While he was cooking, his father-in-law Hu Jin came in with a pair of large intestine and a bottle of wine in his hand. Jin Fan bowed to him and sat down. The butcher said nonsense, "It's really unlucky for my daughter to marry someone like you. I don't know how tired I am these years. " Now I don't know what virtue I have accumulated, so I brought you "xianggong", so I brought you wine to congratulate you. "Jin Wei Fan repeatedly asked Hunjia to cook intestines, make hot wine and sit under a thatched shed.

Mother-in-law is cooking under the kitchen. Butcher Hu also said to his son-in-law: "Since you have been rewarded by the" xianggong ",you must set up a proper system for everything. For example, in my work, I am all respectable people and your long-term relatives. How dare you pretend to be big in front of us If these farm workers and dung pickers at home are just ordinary people, if you bow to him as an equal, it is against the school rules and a disgrace to my face. You are a smelly, honest and useless person, so I have to teach you these words so as not to make people laugh. "

Jin Fan said, "What my father-in-law learned is." Hu Butcher added, "My mother also came here to sit on the mountain. The old man eats small dishes every day, and it makes him sad to think about it. My daughter also eats some. I haven't eaten lard two or three times in the past ten years since I entered your house! Poor thing! Poor! " After that, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to sit and eat. In the middle of the night, butcher Hu was drunk. There are two mothers and sons here. I really appreciate it． The butcher put on his clothes and began to starve.

The next day, Jin Fan should go to worship his neighbors. Wei also made an appointment with a group of friends in the same case to interact with each other. Because it was the year after the provincial examination, I held several meetings. Unconsciously, at the end of June, these co-defendants let Fan enter the provincial examination.

Without the fare, he went to discuss with his father-in-law, and was slapped in the face by the butcher. He scolded a dog and said, "Don't waste time! You just think you won a "xianggong", and then "the frog wants to eat swan meat"! I've heard people say that even Yong, the prime minister of China, is not your article, but the master gave it to you because he saw that you were old and didn't care. Now I have a crush on the master!

These masters of Chinese studies are all satellites in the sky! Don't you see that the gentlemen of the Zhang family in the city are all rich in furniture and rich in every way? Like you, you should go pee and look at yourself! No, no, no, just like a swan! Take this heart as soon as possible, find you a museum in our work next year, and find a few taels of silver to support your old lady and your wife every year. You asked me to borrow the toll. You can't make money by killing pigs in a day. I'll throw all my money into the water with you and call my home northwest wind! "

A meal is sandwiched between seven or eight people, and Jin Fan can't touch the door. When I came back from my husband's resignation, I thought to myself, "Master said it's time for me. Since ancient times, there have been no jurors out of court. If I don't go in to test him, how can I be willing? " After consulting several co-defendants, I went to the city for an examination without telling my father-in-law. Out of the field, even if you go home. This family has been hungry for two or three days. Butcher Hu found out and scolded again.

On the day the list was published, there was no breakfast at home. My mother told Jin Fan, "I have a hen that lays eggs. You should quickly collect it and sell it. Buy a few liters of rice to cook porridge. I am so hungry that I can't see. " Jin Fan quickly hugged the chicken and walked out the door. After less than two hours, I only heard gongs and drums and three horses galloping in the future. The three men got off the horse, tied the horse to the thatched shed and shouted, "Please ask Master Fan to come out quickly. Congratulations to high school! "

Mom didn't know what it was, so she was scared to hide in the house. As soon as I heard this, I dared to stick my head out and say, "Please sit down, the child has just gone out." The reporter said, "It turned out to be an old lady." Everyone gathered around for money. Noisy, a few horses reported two or three, people crowded a room, and the thatched shed was all underground. The neighbors are all here, crowding to see. The old lady had no choice but to go to find her son with her neighbors.

Neighbors went to collect it, but they couldn't find it in a field; I went directly to the eastern end of Jidong, where I saw Jin Fan holding a chicken and a straw label in his hand, looking around for someone to buy it. The neighbor said, "Fan Xianggong, come back quickly! Congratulations on winning the prize, and the good news reporter crowded a room. " Fan Jindao was coaxing him, just pretending not to hear, and walked forward with his head down. Neighbors will snatch the chicken from him when they see that he ignores it. Jin Fan said, "Why did you take my chicken? Don't buy it. " The neighbor said, "You won the lottery. Tell your family to send the newspaper. "

Jin Fan said, "Gao Lin, you know I have no food today. I want to sell this chicken to save my life. Why are you confusing me with this? I am not stubborn to you. Go home by yourself, and don't forget that I sell chickens. " When the neighbor saw that he didn't believe him, he made a sudden snatch and grabbed the chicken, slapped it on the ground and pulled it back. The recorder saw it and said, "Well, the nouveau riche is back." Just as he was about to hug him and talk, Jin Fan came into the room in two steps, only to see that the pillar in the middle had been hung, which read: "Good news for your master. Fan Biao, who took the Guangdong provincial exam in high school, won the seventh Asian dollar. The Beijing News Lian Deng Huang Jia. "

Jin Fan didn't read it. He looked at it again and again. He clapped his hands and smiled. "ah! All right! I won! " As he spoke, he fell back, gritted his teeth and was unconscious. The old lady panicked and poured several mouthfuls of boiling water. He got up, clapped his hands and laughed. "ah! All right! I won! " He broke free with a smile and flew out of the door, scaring reporters and neighbors. I walked out of the gate not far, but I kicked into the pond. When I earned it, my hair was loose, my hands were yellow and I was dripping with water.

They kept pulling him, patting and laughing until they went to gather. Everyone stared at each other with eyes wide open. "So the new rich are ecstatic." The old lady cried, "how can there be such retribution! If you win the prize, you will get this stupid disease! This is crazy, when will it get better? " Humanitarian khufu: "It's fine to go out in the morning. How did you get such a disease! But what should I do? "

Neighbors advised, "Don't panic, old lady. We'll send two people to follow Master Fan now. Everyone here takes some eggs, wine and rice at home and waits for the old men in the newspaper to make a business decision. "

At present, some neighbors have brought eggs, some have brought white wine, some have carried a bucket of rice, and some have caught two chickens. The lady cried, so she cleaned up under the kitchen and took it under the hut. The neighbor moved some tables and stools, and asked the reporter to sit down for a drink and discuss what to do if he was crazy.

A man in the newspaper said, "I have an idea. I don't know if I can do it? " They asked, "What is this idea?" The humanitarian said, "Does Master Fan have anyone he fears most on weekdays? Because he was so happy, his phlegm rushed up and he lost his mind. Now all he needs is that the person he is afraid of hits him in the mouth and says,' All these recordings are lies, but you didn't win.' He was surprised and spat out his phlegm. He understood. "

The neighbors clapped their hands and said, "this idea is great, wonderful!" What Master Fan is afraid of is nothing more than Grandpa Hu in the meat case. All right! Go find khufu. I don't think he knows yet. He sells meat in the collection. " Another humanitarian said, "It's best to let him know about selling meat in the collection;" He has been gathering at Dongtou to meet pigs since the fifth watch, and has not returned yet. Go and meet him quickly. "

A man flew to meet him. On the way, he met Butcher Hu, followed by a soup cook, who came to congratulate him with seven or eight pounds of meat and four or five thousand dollars. I met the old lady when I entered the door, and the old lady cried and told her. Butcher Hu wondered, "Isn't this a blessing?" Outsiders clamored for Mr. Hu to speak. Butcher Hu gave the meat and money to his daughter and came out. So they consulted with him.

Third, the source

Wu's Scholars

Extended data

First, the creative background

His life has experienced three generations: Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the capitalist relations of production sprouted and the society showed a certain degree of prosperity. However, this is only a blip of the China feudal society that is about to collapse, and the apparent prosperity cannot hide the fact that the building will collapse.

During the reign of Yongzheng and Qianlong, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty gradually suppressed the armed uprising, and at the same time, they adopted Daxing Literary Prison and set up the learned and outspoken department as bait. Examining stereotyped writing and opening imperial examinations imprisoned scholars and advocated neo-Confucianism to deal with intellectuals with ruling thoughts. Among them, the imperial examination system is the most harmful and influential, which makes many intellectuals fall into the trap of pursuing wealth and become ignorant and shameless philistines.

Wu saw through the dark politics and decadent social atmosphere, so he opposed stereotyped writing and the imperial examination system, was unwilling to learn from others, and hated the literati who were obsessed with art and were keen on seeking fame and wealth. He reflected these views in his Scholars. He profoundly exposed and criticized these ugly things in an ironic way, showing his democratic ideology.

Second, the appreciation of works

The development of the story can be roughly divided into five levels:

1, returned home after Jinshi, and his father-in-law Hu came to congratulate him.

This is actually the end of the previous plot, but this paragraph is somewhat similar to the background in some novels, because Jin Fan won a scholar, which made him eligible to be a juror. In addition, it can be seen from the teachings of butcher Hu that the top scholar has not fundamentally changed his social status, nor can he satisfy his desire to pursue fame.

2. In order to go to the provincial capital to take the provincial examination, I borrowed the travelling expenses from butcher Hu, but I was insulted. He didn't want to take the exam without telling his father-in-law.

Jin Fan's move was certainly encouraged by his master, but if he was not eager to worship fame and fortune, he wouldn't have such great courage, which can be seen from his indifference to his mother and wife. This is the beginning of the plot.

On the day when the list was published, Jin Fan was ordered by her mother to go to the market to sell chickens without cooking.

After walking for nearly two hours, the good news of winning the bid suddenly came, and the neighbors hurried to gather and pulled him back. This is the development of the plot, because Jin Fan's fate will change dramatically from a despised "worldly treasure" to a respected "master".

However, Jin Fan himself has not seen good news yet. He can't believe that he has to sell chickens to "save his life", which reflects the heavy humiliation left in his heart by a series of failures since he took the exam at the age of 20.

When Jin Fan saw the good news, he fainted with joy. After waking up, he was crazy again, patting and laughing, and desperately collecting. Thanks to the good idea of a newspaper reporter, he found a butcher and punched him hard in the mouth before he woke up and was not crazy. This is a comedy, the climax of this story.

Jin Fan always said only one sentence when he was crazy: "Hey! All right! I won! " It reflects that his pursuit of fame and fortune for decades has reached the point of madness. In this comedy, Hu, the butcher, respectfully praised him to the sky, fully exposing his snobbery.

5. Fan Jingang collected it and went home. Zhang Jingzhai, who was born as a juren and worked as a magistrate, visited the house, gave money and sent a house.

The end of the story shows that Jin Fan's social status has suddenly risen, which is really "not what it used to be". From this story, we can easily see that the imperial examination system in feudal times was a spiritual shackle for scholars.
